Plastic Market Size To Reach $721.14 Billion By 2024

Industry Insights 

The growth of the construction industry in emerging markets such as Brazil, China, India, and Mexico has been instrumental in fueling the demand for plastics during 2015 and 2016. The growth of the market can be attributed to increased foreign investment in these domestic construction markets, as a result of easing FDI norms and requirements for better public and industrial infrastructure.

Growing population coupled with rapid urbanization and industrialization in emerging economies has been impelling federal governments to increase their construction spending to cater to increasing infrastructure needs. Rising construction spending by governments, particularly in China and India, will drive the demand for plastics in infrastructure and construction applications.

Product Insights

Polyether Ether Ketone (PEEK) is one of the promising product segments in terms of volume as well as value. They are widely used in engineering applications owing to its characteristics, which include being colorless and organic. Polyaromatic semi-crystalline thermoplastic is commonly used in medical applications due to its favorable mechanical properties.

Application Insights

Various regulatory bodies have stipulated guidelines regarding packaging materials in food contact applications. Bisphenol-A (BPA), which is often employed to produce plastics and epoxy resins, has been under various regulatory scrutinies, mainly due to its abundant presence in plastics which is used in packaging such as PVC and polycarbonate.

Plastics composed of BPA breakdown when they are washed, heated, or stressed and can contaminate food and water through leaching from packaging lining. This occurrence has prompted regulatory bodies and other institutes to conduct scientific studies on them while regulatory agencies such as FDA and EFSA have established a partial ban and approved content. However, for general usage, BPA has been considered to be safe for human health and environment when used as intended (preventing it from contaminating food).
