Plastic Compounding Market Growth Analysis,Opportunities Forecast
The global plastic
compounding market was valued at around US$ 60,000.0 Mn in 2018 and
is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of more than 5.0% from 2019 to
2027, according to a new research report published by Transparency
Market Research (TMR) titled ‘Plastic Compounding Market – Global
Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast,
2019–2027.’ Rise in demand for plastic compounds in automotive
and electrical & electronics industries is driving the global
plastic compounding market. Asia Pacific accounted for dominant share
of the global plastic compounding market in 2018. In terms of demand,
China held major share of the market in the region in 2018. The
plastic compounding market in Asia Pacific is expected to expand at a
CAGR of around 6.0% during the forecast period.
Increase in Demand
for Low Emission Products in Automotive Applications and Rise in
Demand for Lightweight Vehicles
International
legislations and automotive OEMs have identified the need to reduce
odor, fogging, and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) in order to
improve air quality and safety of vehicle interiors. Of late, plastic
compounders have been focusing on meeting the rising demand for low
emission products in automotive interiors. These low emission
products blended in plastic compounds conform to Original Equipment
Manufacturer (OEM) mandates to reduce the VOC levels. Implementation
of stringent regulations against the usage of VOCs in automotive
applications is anticipated to boost the plastic compounding market
during the forecast period. Furthermore, plastic compounds possess
light-weighing properties that result in weight reduction of
vehicles. This ultimately lowers fuel consumption. Thus, weight
reduction in automotive vehicles enhances fuel efficiency and
performance. Increase in production of such lightweight vehicles is
estimated to augment the global plastic compounding market during the
forecast period.
Rise in Demand for
Plastic Compounds in Electrical & Electronic Component
Manufacturing
Plastic compounds
play a vital role in manufacture and assembly of electrical and
electronic devices. They offer reliability to applications that
require protection from electrostatic discharge, dissipation of
static charges, and effective thermal management. Products
manufactured from plastic compounds are lightweight, recyclable, and
corrosion-resistant parts that protect against damage to dissipation
of static charge in electronic applications. Plastic compound
material and its processing is contributing to lower costs and
performance enhancement of consumer and industrial electronics
manufacturing technologies. Increase in usage of plastic compounds in
the electrical & electronics industry due to their exceptional
attributes is projected to drive the global plastic compounding
market during the forecast period.
Asia Pacific
Dominates Global Plastic Compounding Market
Based on region, the
global plastic compounding market has been divided into North
America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East &
Africa. In terms of value, Asia Pacific led the global plastic
compounding market in 2018. China is the major manufacturing hub for
automotive and electronics industries. The country constituted
prominent share of the market in the region in 2018 owing to the high
rate of adoption of plastic compounds in automotive and electrical &
electronics applications. Major manufacturing companies producing
automotive components and electronic devices are relocating from the
U.S. and countries in Europe to East Asia. Key players are focusing
on expanding their production facilities in Asia Pacific to cater to
the rising demand for plastic compounds in several end-use industries
in the region. These players are also introducing new production
plants in India, Indonesia, and Vietnam. The plastic compounding
market in North America and Europe is likely to expand at a moderate
pace during the forecast period. Advancement in research &
development activities among universities and compound manufacturers
in North America and Europe is expected to propel the plastic
compounding market in these regions.
