Plastic Compounding Market Rising With Growth In New Technology Trends Research By 2027
The global plastic
compounding market size is
projected to reach USD 104.41 billion by
2027, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. It is
anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 6.5%
during the forecast period. Rapidly developing construction and automobile
sectors are anticipated to drive the demand for interiors, exteriors, and under
hood components. Maximum application of plastic compounding in under hood
components in the automotive industry, building interior and exteriors in
construction and infrastructure industries, and in electronics, durables, and
wire and cable industries is anticipated to further fuel the growth.
Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), is
the plastic used for manufacturing bottle containers used for packaged water
and carbonated beverages. As a raw material, PET is recognized as a safe,
strong, flexible, non-toxic, and lightweight material that is 100% recyclable.
Hence, it has gained wide acceptability and in turn is anticipated to drive the
growth of the market for plastic compounding over the forecast period.
Asia Pacific was the leading revenue
generator for PET compound segment in 2020. Ever-increasing demand for
beverages-mainly carbonated beverages and nutritional drinks-is anticipated to
drive the regional consumption of PET compound. This trend is favored by rise
in population, changing lifestyle, and emergence of domestic beverage
manufacturers. Presence of large pool of contract bottlers in the region shall
also impact the scope of packaging application in Asia Pacific.
The global market is highly fragmented
in nature with over 60% share occupied by Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs).
Companies are rapidly expanding their production capabilities to consolidate
their market position. The industry has witnessed significant capacity
expansions in China with the emergence of standalone independent compounders.
Unlike major end-use corporations such as automotive manufacturers and Original
Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) who establish strategic agreements with
compounders or extend their capabilities towards compounding, Chinese
compounders cater to a large pool of medium enterprises.
Some of the key market participants are BASF
SE, LyondellBasell Industries, N.V., and The Dow Chemical Company. The other
manufacturers are SABIC, Asahi Kasei Plastics, and Covestro (Bayer Material
Science) and others.

Traditionally, construction industry has
been a major consumer of plastics with the product application ranging from
pipe fittings and insulation to masonry materials and equipment. Plastic
compounds are modified in accordance to their requirements. For instance, flame
retardant additives are added to Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) compounds, and form a
very crucial aspect of building materials.
Developing countries, such as Mexico are
expected to benefit from rising construction spending and inclination of
consumers toward utilizing sustainable and lightweight building materials in
place of conventional materials. The expanding automotive sector and changing
consumer buying behavior from considering cars as luxuries to necessities are
also significant factors anticipated to positively impact the plastics sector
and drive compounding activities in the region.
Further key findings from the report suggest:
·
In terms of revenue and volume,
polypropylene is the most consumed plastic compounding product. The rise in its
production can be attributed to high demand from packaging and medical device
industries across the globe
·
Increasing requirement for flame
retardancy, heat resistance, and improved serviceability is anticipated to
drive growth in electronics and electrical industry
·
Construction is the leading application
segment for polyethylene compounds with the segment accounting for a mass
application globally
·
Major plastic compound manufacturers have
been acquiring independent compounding facilities, rather than establishing
plants, to strengthen their position
·
Key players operating in the plastic
compounding market include BASF SE., LyondellBasell Industries, N.V., and The
Dow Chemical Company
Polypropylene
(PP) held the largest volume share of the plastic compounding market in 2018.
Its compounds are largely used in automotive applications owing to the high
impact resistance and serviceability. Economic growth in Asian and Latin
American markets has propelled growth in automotive sector both in terms of
vehicle sales and domestic production. Considering ever increasing automotive
production along with regulatory trends compelling manufacturers to reduce
vehicular weight and improve fuel efficiency; plastics consumption in
automotive applications shall rise considerably over the forecast period. It
has good fatigue resistance and better chemical and temperature resistance.
These factors have made PP a popular material for multiple applications in
developed economies and emerging economies alike.
Increasing
construction spending in Asia, Middle East, and Latin America is expected to
provide growth opportunities for PVC compounds considering relatively lax
regulatory intervention regarding the presence of plastics in building
materials. Recent trend of developing PVC through bio-based sources have been
successful, such as the recently introduced Dow Chemical’s Ecolibrium
plasticizer, shall have a positive influence on PVC compounds growth over the
forecast period.

Release of this report:
Automotive is anticipated to lead
the application segment over the forecast period. Increasing incorporation of
plastics as opposed to metals and alloys in automotive components has been a
major factor for the segment growth. Over the recent past, there has been a
considerable rise in automotive production, which is largely driven by growth
of the industry and manufacturing landscape of emerging markets. China, India,
and Brazil are the fastest growing economies and are also the major production
hubs for automobiles. This trend is expected to continue over the future, thus
driving demand for compounded plastics.
