Growth Factors

 Increasing product consumption in construction, automotive, and electrical & electronics applications is expected to propel the market growth. Regulatory intervention to reduce gross vehicle weight to improve fuel efficiency, as well as to reduce carbon emissions, has driven automotive OEMs to adopt resins as a substitute to steel and aluminum for fabricating automotive components. This, in turn, will boost the market growth.

Rising product demand from the construction, automotive, and electrical & electronics sectors is the key factor driving the market growth. The rapidly developing global automotive industry is expected to trigger the product demand in applications, such as under-the-hood components, exteriors, and interiors of automobiles. The increasing application of resins in the automotive industry is spurred by the demand for lightweight and inexpensive multi-utility vehicle models with high fuel efficiency and emphasis on aesthetics and comfort.

Report Highlights

 The crystalline resins product segment dominated for the maximum revenue share of more than 62% in 2020 and is expected to maintain its dominance throughout the forecast period. The Polyethylene (PE) resin sub-segment accounted for a prominent share in the crystalline type segment owing to their increasing demand from food packaging, stretch wrap, medical applications, etc. 

The engineering plastic segment held for a small share in the market. However, it is expected to witness an above-average growth during the forecast period as these plastics possess good mechanical & thermal properties, wear & chemical resistance, and dimensional stability. The super engineering plastic segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period.

The packaging segment accounted for the largest revenue share of more than 36% in 2020 and is projected to expand further at a steady CAGR over the forecast period. The growing packaging industry supported by the increasing demand for packaged foods and beverages will boost the segment growth. 

China accounted for the highest revenue share of 33% in 2020. China is self-sufficient in terms of plastic production, with an adequate number of plants and production capacity required to fulfill the local demand. Furthermore, China exports various types of plastics to neighboring countries owing to a large production base.

Europe is expected to witness a below-average growth rate over the coming years. Stringent environmental regulations by regulatory bodies, such as the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) and the European Commission, characterize the market in Europe.
