Market Overview:
The global general engineering plastics market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period 2018-2030. The growth in this market can be attributed to the increasing demand for general engineering plastics from various end-use industries such as automotive, building & construction, and medical devices. In terms of volume, polyamide is expected to be the largest segment of the global general engineering plastics market during the forecast period. This can be attributed to its high tensile strength and resistance against chemicals and other environmental factors.
Product Definition:
General Engineering Plastics are a class of plastics that are used in a wide variety of engineering applications. They have excellent mechanical properties and can be used in place of metal parts in many cases. General Engineering Plastics are important because they are strong, durable, and lightweight, which makes them ideal for use in many engineering applications.
Polyamide:
Polyamide (PA) is a widely used engineering plastic with high impact resistance and good fatigue strength. PA has the ability to be processed at higher temperatures than nylon 6,6, which makes it suitable for use in applications where nylon 6,6 is too soft.
Polycarbonate:
Polycarbonate is a thermoplastic polymer, which contains carbon and hydrogen. It has properties similar to that of polystyrene but is more flexible. Polycarbonate can be injection molded, blow molded, extruded and recycled; it also shares some characteristics with other engineering plastics such as high impact resistance and excellent chemical resistance.
Application Insights:
Building materials was the largest application segment in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The plastics used in building materials are durable, lightweight, and resistant to environmental conditions such as heat & cold. These properties make them ideal for use in insulation as well as electrical & electronic applications.
The home appliances segment is also estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period on account of increasing demand for energy-efficient products across various end-use industries globally General engineering plastics are widely used in medical devices & equipment owing to their high biocompatibility.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The growth of this region can be attributed to rising product demand from various end-use industries, such as automotive, building & construction, electrical & electronics. Increasing population and disposable income levels in emerging economies are likely to boost demand for consumer goods including cars and home appliances. This will drive product consumption across several industries in Asia Pacific region over the next eight years.
The European market was valued at USD X million in 2017 owing to high consumption of engineering plastics due to well-established manufacturing base for automobiles, aerospace components, oil & gas industry coupled with growing construction sector after overcoming economic recession caused by Brexit vote which resulted into slowdown or halt of major projects such as Hinkley Point C nuclear power station contract along with other factors that have yet been finalized till now regarding trade agreements between EU member states.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from automotive and transportation industry
- Growing demand for lightweight and durable plastics in construction and infrastructure sector
- Rising demand for medical implants and prosthetics made from plastic materials
- Increasing use of plastics in electrical & electronics industry
- Rapid growth of the Asia Pacific region as a key market for general engineering plastics
