Polyamide (PA), by type, is expected to be the fastest growing segment during the forecast period.
Polyamides, commonly known as nylons, are recognized as high-performance plastics due to their exceptional temperature and electrical resistances, making them suited for use in industries like automotive, transportation, consumer goods, textiles, and electrical & electronics. The key attributes driving polyamide usage include toughness, durability, thermal and chemical resistance, flexibility, abrasion and corrosion resistance, thermal insulation, and adhesion properties.
Bio-based is anticipated to be the fastest growing segment, by source, during the forecast period.
Bio-based plastic compounds are derived from renewable biomass sources, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional fossil-based plastics. These bioplastics are produced from various natural sources such as vegetable fats and oils, corn starch, straw, woodchips, sawdust, and recycled food waste. Bio-based plastics have limited dependence on finite and unevenly distributed fossil fuel resources, which are linked to environmental impacts and geopolitical issues. Life cycle analyses have shown that certain bioplastics can have a lower carbon footprint than fossil-based plastics, especially when biomass is used as both the raw material and for energy production.
Automotive is anticipated to be the third largest segment, by end-use industry, during the forecast period.
Most of the interior, as well as the exterior parts of a modern vehicle, are made with plastic compounds such as PS, PP, PE, and PET. These plastic compounds are used in dashboards, steering wheels, loudspeaker grills, carpets, and door linings, as well as seats, seat belts, and airbags. The use of plastic compounds in various automotive applications helps reduce vehicle weight and fuel consumption. The increasing replacement of conventional materials such as metals and glass by plastic compounds is driving the market for plastic compounds in this segment.
