Thermoplastic Resins Market: Current Analysis and Forecast (2022-2028)
Emphasis on Resin Type (Polypropylene, Polyamide, Polybutylene Terephthalate, Polyphenylene Sulfide, and Others); Compound (Short Fiber-Reinforced Thermoplastic, Long Fiber-Reinforced Thermoplastic, Continuous Fiber-Reinforced Thermoplastic, and Glass-Mat Thermoplastic); Composite Type (Glass Fiber-Reinforced Plastics and Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Plastics); End-User (Aerospace and Defense, Transportation, Consumer Good, Electrical & Electronic, and Others); and Region/Country
The thermoplastic resins market is expected to register a CAGR of approx. 6% over the period of 2022-2028. Thermoplastic resins are versatile in nature and can reform, undergoing only physical changes rather than chemical ones. Thermoplastics are unshaped raw materials that melt when heated and solidify when cooled. They can be remelted and remolded multiple times, allowing parts to be reprocessed. Their ability to change shape and be recycled, as well as their environmental friendliness, drive market growth. The manufacturing process is environmentally sustainable, and it requires little investment. Thermoplastics can withstand high-level impact; their impact resistance is nearly ten times that of their counterparts. This feature motivates applications such as bulletproof vests, airplane windows, and helmet visors. The growing demand for thermoplastic resins can be attributed to the rising product demand from the construction, automotive, and electrical & electronics sectors, thus, rising the adoption of organic growth strategies among key industry players across the globe. For instance, In May 2019, Polyone Corporation launched new thermoplastic composite products at CHINAPLAS 2019. It introduced Complet LFT formulations, which is a thermoplastic composite with PEEK and PP as base resin, to meet highly demanding design and performance requirements. Owing to the glaring statistics due to the rising population and their preferences for automotive and others, the demand for thermoplastic resins is boosted across the globe and would contribute to the growth of the market in the forthcoming period as well. Furthermore, the thermoplastic resins market is anticipated to grow on account of the rise in product consumption in the healthcare sector owing to the growing production of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), such as face masks, face shields, medical gowns, and various medical devices, due to the rising cases of COVID-19. In addition, increasing spending in the construction sector by various governments acts as a prominent factor that drives the market growth. However, some of the restraints in the market including the high costs of raw materials are impeding the growth of this market all over the world.
BASF SE, Celenase Corporation, Lanxess AG, Solvay S.A, Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials, Toray Industries, Inc., Polyone Corporation, LyondellBasell Industries N.V., EMS-GRIVORY, INEOS are some of the key players in the market. Several M&As along with partnerships have been undertaken by these players to facilitate customers with hi-tech and innovative products/technologies.
