Engineering plastics are increasingly being used in many markets from packaging, building & construction, electrical & electronics, to automotive & transportation, furniture & bedding, sports & leisure and many other segments. At present, electrical & electronics and consumer goods are the major markets. Automotive & transportation and construction are the two promising application areas for engineering plastics. A major trend driving the market is the growing demand of these plastics in developing countries, such as India, China, and Brazil. In 2012, production of engineering plastics amounted to 218.88 million tons.
Asia-Pacific, currently, dominates the market for engineering plastics, followed by North America and Europe. The developing countries of South America and Asia-Pacific are expected to increase their market share, owing to the increasing purchasing power in these regions.
The Global Engineering Plastics Market was valued at USD 61,817.63 million in 2015 and is expected to reach USD 99,334.03 million by 2021, at a CAGR of 8.23%.
Our forecasts are based on the latest news:
- DSM NV is setting up enhanced facilities in Asia-Pacific (China and India), keeping up with growing demands from the market.
- Solvay Engineering Plastics to open testing lab in Shanghai, to be able to meet the growing demand from the Chinese market.
- Kolon BASF innoPOM Inc. – a joint venture established by Kolon Plastics and BASF, to target the engineering plastics market.
Europe and North America are expected to remain interesting locations for research and development; they are, additionally, important as sales markets. However, the establishment of new production capacities is favored in the Middle East region. Emerging countries of Asia, South America, the Middle-East and various developing regions from Europe have been witnessing sizeable growth prospects for engineering plastics.
Market Dynamics
The growing trend towards lighter vehicles, lower emissions, and enhanced fuel-efficiency are expected to drive the consumption growth of engineering plastics in the automotive and transportation industry. A high increase in the sale of passenger cars in emerging markets, such as China and India, is also expected to boost the market. The industry is expected to face certain challenges, such as regulatory standards to reduce CO2 emissions, fluctuation of crude oil prices, and product commoditization.
