With respect to revenue, polyamide captured the largest segment share in 2023 accounting for nearly 41%. Properties of the product such as dimensional stability, sliding friction, rigidity, and chemical resistance compared to other counterparts make it suitable for application in a wide range of industries. Further, polyamide is lighter in weight compared to others which result in ease of transportation and usage.
Polycarbonate exhibits lucrative growth during the forthcoming years because of its significant demand from the transportation and electrical & electronics sectors. The product is greatly helpful in reducing the weight of the vehicle and hence improving the fuel efficiency that triggers its demand among several automotive Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). Furthermore, polycarbonate is completely recyclable plastic, thus, favored as a substitute in various applications of plastics; for example, polycarbonate is used as a substitute of PVC mainly in medical devices. Apart from all this, polycarbonate offers high tensile strength and is easily processed and blended with its copolymers such as ABS and polyester. Hence, the aforementioned factors are likely to propel the industry growth for polycarbonate over the analysis period.
Automotive is a major application segment for industrial plastics owing to its notable contribution to the weight reduction of a vehicle. Technological innovations have brought several reforms in the plastic industry with the development of environment-friendly and lightweight plastics this creates a new horizon for its implementation in the automotive sector. Increasing production of electric cars and heavy-duty vehicles is further expected to provide an alluring opportunity for industrial plastics in the automotive sector. Stringent norms for weight reduction and carbon emission are likely to contribute notably to the application segment.
ABS is one of the most prominently used plastics in the automotive application ranging from interior components to engine parts. This type of plastic is also used as a substitute material for engineering plastics and metal components in the automotive industry because of its flexibility as well as excellent mechanical properties.
The Asia Pacific captured the major market share in the global industrial plastic market in terms of revenue in 2023. The region is expected to continue the same trend over the coming years. The significant growth of the region is mainly because of a well-established manufacturing base, particularly in China, Taiwan, and South Korea. Some of the Asian countries such as India and China have strong manufacturing bases for the chemical industry that strengthens their market in the region. Furthermore, improving economic conditions, rapid urbanization, and increasing infrastructural activities are the key factors that support market growth in the region.
Various factors such as increasing unemployment, stalled industrial output, and debt crisis have negatively impacted the market growth in Europe. However, Eastern Europe is expected to have positive growth owing to rising consumption as well as a manufacturing base in the region. Furthermore, stringent government regulations for chemical industries issued by the European Commission and the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) are estimated to provide alluring opportunities for renewable and environment-friendly plastic materials in the region.
The global industrial plastic market seeks several disruptions owing to the majority of the key market players have integrated their distribution operations and raw material production to maintain their product quality as well as to expand their regional presence. This helps these companies to gain a competitive advantage in terms of cost benefits, thereby increasing their profitability ratio.
