Market Overview

Global Plastic Market is poised to report 5.27% year-on-year growth in 2019, driven by growing constructional
activities across Asia pacific and Europe regions for applications such as packaging, insulation and others.

Major producers of plastic market are adopting new methods for the production of bio based plastics as the
alternatives of conventional plastics to overcome the disposal difficulties of plastics. Therefore, the manufacturers are
collaborating with many biotechnology companies to manufacture bio-based plastics, which drives the market
demand.

Technological advancements such as recycling of plastics is being adopted by various producers have become an
opportunity for the growth of plastic market during the forecast period 2019-2025.

Strict government regulations regarding environmental protection and disposal of plastics are restraining the growth
of plastics.

Plastics are replacing the conventional products

Plastics have replaced many conventional materials such as wood, paper, metal, ceramic, leather and glass for their
individual uses due to their low cost, ease of manufacture, availability of raw materials and flexibility of use.

Plastics are wide array of semi synthetic or synthetic organics that are transformed into useful products. The plastics
are produced from Plastic have high molecular weights. Plastics are widely used in various end user industries due to
its high durability, reliability and efficient cost.

Plastics have the properties such as heat and pressure resistance due to these the end user industries are employing
them. The price fluctuations of the raw materials for the production of plastics are coupled with the environmental
concerns in the disposal of plastics. The disposal of plastic has become a restraint and expected to decline during the
forecast period.

Polyethylene market holds significant position in global plastics market

Polyethylene holds the largest market share in the plastics with around 34.9% among the global plastics market. The
demand for the polyethylene is formed due to its increased usage in end user industries such as film/sheet, injection
moulding, pipe, food and beverage packaging driving the polyethylene market globally.

Followed by polyethylene, Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is expected to be the fastest growing product segment
due to its increased demand for the carbonated soft drink packaging industry is going to drive the market.

Further, the global plastic market is segmented into polypropylene (PP), polyurethane (PU), polyvinyl chloride (PVC),
polystyrene, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polyphenylene oxide (PPO),
epoxy polymers, liquid crystal polymers (LCP), PEEK, polycarbonate (PC), polyamide, polysulfone, PPSU, and others

Packaging is the major end use industry in global plastic market

Various types of plastics are available in the market that includes polyethylene, polypropylene, Polyethylene
terephthalate (PET), engineering thermoplastics, which are widely used for packaging of products. All these differ
between each of them due to the individual molecular arrangement and monomers present in them. Plastics find
applications from manufacturing of paper clips to space ship parts and can be used in end user industries.

Other end user industries segmented are construction, electrical & electronics, automotive, medical devices, agriculture,
furniture & bedding, consumer goods, and others

Asia Pacific continues to remain as key region for plastic consumption

The report analyses the global plastic market for countries across North America, Asia-Pacific, Europe, South &
Central America, and Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific region captures the largest market share about 44.6% in the
global plastic market due to the high usage of plastics creating demand in end user industries in the emerging
countries like China and India.

Various manufacturers of the plastics are establishing their plants in emerging countries of Asia Pacific and Middle
East region due to the availability of raw materials and human resources at low costs. The regulatory support such as
tax benefits and financial incentives from the governments of countries like China and India tend to increase the FDI
flow has become a key factor for development of plastic market in Asia.

Followed by Asia Pacific region, North American and European regions hold the next place in the global plastic
market and are expected to grow comparatively with lower rates. North American and European regions are
primarily driven by the increasing demand for high performance and environmental friendly plastics materials such as
bio-based plastics and engineering thermoplastics.

South &Central America is expected to be the fastest growing in the global plastics market due to the growth of
automobile and construction industry in countries like Brazil and Argentina.
