Global Polymers Market experienced a robust growth over the last five years, and is expected to continue in the forecast period 2018-23
According to the Report “Polymers Market: By Type (Thermoplastics, Elastomers, Thermosets); By Application (Electronics, Food Industry, Petrochemicals, Healthcare, Building and Construction, Electronics and Communications, Transportation); By Products (Polyethylene, Polyvinyl Chloride, Polypropylene, Polystyrene, Polyamide, Polyurethane, Polyacrylamide); By Geography – Forecast (2018–2023),” published by IndustryARC, the market is driven by the increasing plastic consumption globally, and the growing demand for essential light-weight and low-cost materials as compared to theiralternatives.
North America Dominates the Polymers Market
The polymersmarket is projected to grow at an exponential rate during the forecast period. Where, North America has led the global polymer market, holding highest share in 2017, as same is expected to beyond. In 2017, North America accounted for the maximum share 38.3% in patent market, followed by Asia-Pacificwith accounted share of23.4%.Asia-Pacific is anticipated to grow at a faster pace, due to expansion of the automotive, electrical, medical and food industries. China and India together are mapping towards the infrastructural development,usage of polymers in the construction industry willdrive the polymers market in this region.
Selected Type and End User Application Analysis Done in the Full Report
By application, the polymers market has been segmented intohorticulture, building & construction, medical, consumer goods, automotive, and food. By type, the market has been segmented into thermoplastics, elastomers, and thermosets. Of all the three, the thermosets segment dominates the global polymer market.The increasing applications of polyethylene are in the automotive and packaging industries. In spite of growing adoption in polymers, the market is mainlyconcerned about theproblems faced in environmentalissue.In accordance to this the market came up with bio-based polymer which is expected to achieve a liable growth.
Excerpts on Market Growth Factors
- High-performance polymers are replacing metals, paper, glass and other traditional materials in various applications. Evonik Industries has developedVESTAMID® HTplus, ahigh performance polymer,as a substitute for metal.VESTAMID® HTplus can bear up against mechanical stress up to 135°C.
- Bio –based polymer is the new type of category of polymer which has future applications produced from renewable resources. Refining biomass feedstock, will produce bio-based polymer. The chemical compositionof bio-based polymers will make natural polymersmore adaptable inchemical structures to achieve targeted properties and functionalities.
- Due to its balancing raw material, bio-based polymers are replacing existing polymers in a number of applications.
