Plastics Market Is Expected To Witness Increased Growth Rates Of Revenue And CAGR Forecast 2027|Grand View Research, Inc.
The global plastics
market size is expected to reach USD 754.3 billion by 2027, according to
a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., progressing at a revenue-based CAGR of 3.5% during the forecast
period. Increasing automotive production and subsequent rise in plastics
consumption in automotive component fabrication because of regulatory policies
pertaining to vehicular weight reduction and fuel efficiency will drive the
plastics market over the forecast period. Plastics facilitate fuel saving in
automotive applications on account of reduced car weight and density as
compared to conventional materials such as metals or rubber.
Since the last decade, there has been
a substantial demand for the products as replacement for metals and ferrous
alloys across various industries such as consumer goods, automotive, and
industrial machinery. The growth of the plastic market criticality lies on
various factors such as ever-increasing requirement of end users in terms of
product specification and versatility influencing consumption dynamics. Other
factors such as socio-political, production process, and feedstock availability
events also have a significant impact on industry trends.
Rapidly developing construction and
automobile markets in Asia Pacific will increase the demand for plastics in interiors,
exteriors, and under hood components. Its major applications include under hood
components in the automotive industry, building interior and exteriors in the
construction and infrastructure industries, and various applications in
electronics and durables.

Asia Pacific is likely to witness the
highest growth in the construction industry across the globe, wherein China is
at the forefront of the growth. Growing population coupled with rapid
industrialization and urbanization in emerging economies have influenced
regional governments to increase their construction spending in order to cater
to growing infrastructure needs. Increasing construction spending by
governments, particularly in China and India, will fuel the demand in
infrastructure and construction applications.
Plastics are also witnessing substantial
growth in the pipes and fittings segments on account of their lightweight, long
life span, corrosion resistance, and reduced cost structures.
Further key findings from the report suggest:
·
Raw materials used in plastic include
hydrocarbon fuels (coal, natural gas and crude oil), salt, and sand. PE
production in North America is dependent mainly on natural gas, which is
available at a very low cost in the region. PE producers in the region are,
thus, highly competitive
·
Automotive is the fastest growing
application segment in the global arena during the forecast period. Increasing
incorporation of plastics as opposed to metals and alloys in automotive
components has been a major factor contributing to the growth of the segment
·
Polyether Ether Ketone is expected to
witness a CAGR of 6.4% in terms of volume during the forecast period. They are
widely used in engineering applications owing to their characteristics, which
include being colorless and organic
·
PVC is one of the major plastic
constituents in various building materials and construction activities. The
plastic is modified as per requirement to meet structural designs and
application specifications.
The
growth of the construction industry in emerging markets such as Brazil, China,
India, and Mexico has been instrumental in fueling the demand for plastics
during 2018 and 2020. The growth of the plastic market can be attributed to
increased foreign investment in these domestic construction markets, as a
result of easing FDI norms and requirements for better public and industrial
infrastructure.
Growing
population coupled with rapid urbanization and industrialization in emerging
economies has been impelling federal governments to increase their construction
spending to cater to increasing infrastructure needs. Rising construction
spending by governments, particularly in China and India, will drive the demand
for plastics in infrastructure and construction applications.
Stringent
regulations regarding depletion and recyclability of conventional materials
such as metal and wood are anticipated to drive greater plastics demand from
construction industries in insulation, pipes, cables, floorings, windows, and
storage tanks. Polymer fittings are also generally quite simple and easy to
install, compared to metals or wood, with a wide range of color combinations,
adding to their aesthetic appeal.

Release of this report:
Polyethylene
(PE) is one of the key products. It is primarily used in the packaging sector,
which includes containers and bottles, plastic bags, plastic films, and
geomembranes. It finds use in various applications. Based on its molecular
weight, there are different types of polymers of PE such as HDPE, LDPE, and
LLDPE. For instance, low molecular weight polymers of PE find use in
lubricants, medium molecular weight polymers are used as wax miscible with
paraffin, and high molecular weight polymers are commonly used in the plastics
industry.
Polyether
Ether Ketone (PEEK) is one of the promising product segments in terms of volume
as well as value. They are widely used in engineering applications owing to its
characteristics, which include being colorless and organic. Polyaromatic
semi-crystalline thermoplastic is commonly used in medical applications due to
its favorable mechanical properties.
