Segments
Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) to Gain Traction with Rising Demand for Resistance to Chemicals
In terms of type, the market is segregated into polyethylene, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, polyvinyl chloride, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, polyamide, polycarbonate, polyurethane, polystyrene, and others. The polyvinyl chloride segment will account for a considerable share of the global market due to electric insulation and the demand for resistance to chemicals.
Packaging to Remain Dominant Due to Robust Demand from Food & Beverage Sector
With respect to end-use industry, the market is segregated into packaging, automotive & transportation, infrastructure & construction, consumer goods/lifestyle, healthcare & pharmaceutical, electrical & electronics, textile, and others. The packaging segment will exhibit notable growth during the assessment period, largely due to rising demand from the food & beverage sector.
Drivers and Restraints
Expanding Footprint of Engineering Plastics to Propel Growth Potentials
The plastics market share will witness notable traction during the forecast period, largely due to better mechanical and thermal properties. Surging demand for better polymer solutions will encourage leading companies to expedite investments. Prominently, surging demand for metal substitution could play a pivotal role in boosting the material demand. Furthermore, the food industry is poised to be the major recipient of plastics that avoid contamination and minimize food quality degradation. Increased usage of the polymer in fashion, sports, and toy-making will bode well for the industry growth.
However, rigorous regulations implementing plastic reduction policies could impede the industry growth.
