Global Plastic Market Report 2023: Shift In Trend Toward Replacement of Glass & Metals Drives Growth


Dublin, June 22, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Plastic Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Product (PVC, PET, ABS, PBT), By End-use (Packaging, Construction), By Application (Injection Molding, Calendering), By Region, And Segment Forecasts 2023 - 2030" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global plastic market size is anticipated to reach USD 824.46 billion by 2030., growing at a CAGR of 3.98% from 2023 to 2030.

Increasing automotive production and subsequent rise in plastics consumption in automotive component fabrication because of regulatory policies pertaining to vehicular weight reduction and fuel efficiency are expected to drive the market over the forecast period.

Plastics facilitate fuel saving in automotive applications on account of reduced car weight and density as compared to conventional materials, such as metals or rubber. Since the last decade, there has been a substantial demand for the product as a replacement for metals and ferrous alloys across various industries, such as consumer goods, automotive, and industrial machinery.

The growth of the market criticality lies in various factors, such as the ever-increasing requirement of end-users in terms of product specification and versatility influencing consumption dynamics. Other factors, such as socio-political events, production process, and feedstock availability, also have a significant impact on industry trends.

Rapidly developing construction and automobile markets in Asia Pacific are expected to increase the product demand for interiors, exteriors, and under-hood components. Its major applications include under-hood components in the automotive industry, building interiors & exteriors in the construction & infrastructure industries, and various applications in electronics and durables. The outbreak of COVID-19 has fueled product demand in the medical end-use industry.

Companies are focusing on increasing their resources and production capabilities to meet the rising demand. For instance, in April 2023, Plastics Unlimited Inc. completed a 30,000 sq. ft. expansion of its manufacturing facility located in Iowa, U.S. which offers plastic urethane molding, thermoforming, design, part trimming, and tooling.

The extrusion application segment is anticipated to progress at a substantial growth rate over the forecast period. It is widely used to produce straws, hoses, pipes, and window frames. Increasing demand for these products from the packaging and construction industries is anticipated to create lucrative growth opportunities for the extrusion application segment during the forecast period.
