Dublin, Sept. 30, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/vz3d8f/engineering) has announced the addition of the "Engineering Plastics - A Global Market Overview" report to their offering.
Global market for engineering plastics, estimated at 19.6 million metric tons in 2012, is further projected to maintain a CAGR of over 5% during 2012-2020 in reaching 29.1 million metric tons by 2020. In terms of value, demand for engineering plastics is projected to register a corresponding CAGR of 7.9% in reaching US$113.7 billion by 2020 from an estimated US$67 billion in 2013 and a forecast US$72.5 billion in 2014.
The emerging regions such as Asia, South America, Middle-East and
developing regions from Europe have been witnessing sizeable growth
prospects for engineering plastics. Growing purchasing power in the
developing economies is seen as a key driver of demand for
engineering plastics in these regions. Primary drivers for the same
include hitherto unexplored opportunities of replacing metals not
only in automobiles, but also in the areas of household appliances,
construction and infrastructure, to name a few. For example, Asian
economy has been thriving primarily due to advancements in the
traditional sectors of automobiles, building and construction,
business machines, electrical & electronics, household
appliances, telecommunications and transportation. Engineering
Plastics are being widely employed in auto parts, consumer goods
and electrical & electronics applications.
