  • .Progression in 3D printing is improving the growth aspects of polymers and plastic manufacturing. The changing preference of consumers from metal 3D printing to plastic material 3D printing is leading to substantial growth in the polymers market.
  • Fluctuation in international oil prices tend to force companies to search for an alternative stable source of the raw material for packaging, which further provides lucrative opportunities for the growth of Polymer industry.

  • .Evolution of the natural and environment-friendly polymers in the packaging sector for food packaging, cosmetics packaging and pharmaceutical packaging is driving the growth.
  • Comparatively lower awareness about the biodegradable polymer in emerging nations like India, Thailand, South Africa and Qatar are hampering the market growth. 

Global Polymers Market Segment Analysis - By Type

The Polyethylene segment is projected to witness the highest CAGR of 7.1% during the forecast period owing to the rising demand from various end-use industry. Whereas, growing uses of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) in food and beverage packaging like milk and fruit juices, crates, caps for food packaging, drums, and other liquid food packaging and industrial packaging applications drive the market growth. Construction industry is a major consumer of polyethylene which is used in the form of sheets, plates, films, foils, and strips that offer plastic protection to floors. Furthermore, polyethylene is also used in pipes and fittings which form an integral part of various industrial activities. Besides, consumer goods such as bowls, buckets, water bottles, drums, dustbins and plumbing pipes, are a few polyethylene products utilized on a daily basis. Increased sales of consumer goods offer opportunities to vendors in the polyethylene market, which in turn drive the growth of this market.


Global Polymers Market Segment Analysis - By Process

The injection molding segment is projected to witness the highest CAGR of 6.8% during the forecast period owing to its optical clarity and biocompatibility characteristics. In the injection molding process, large polymer moldings can be inexpensively manufactured in large quantities for direct usage. Furthermore, the growing complexity of technical biodegradable polymer/bioplastic moldings drives the demand for a multi-component injection molding process, which in turn propels the growth of this segment. Whereas, the growing demand for plastic components across numerous end-use industries like automotive, packaging, home appliances, electrical and electronics, and healthcare devices is expected to drive the market growth. Besides, various industries are shifting their focus towards injection-molded products in order to enhance their operations and produce products with better quality as per the customer’s requirements. For instance, the automotive industry is replacing steel with plastics to reduce a vehicle’s weight and improve fuel efficiency.

Global Polymers Market Segment Analysis - By End-Use Industry

  • The medical/healthcare segment is projected to witness the exponential growth in the global Polymers Market during the forecast period and a negative demand impact is expected to continue into 2021. This growth is attributed to the outbreak of COVID-19 and the exponential demand for Ventilators, masks, and personal protective equipment (PPE) globally. Whereas, the properties of polymers like versatility, sterile nature, safety for patients and providers, cost effectiveness, and ease of use makes the use of polymers for various medicals application such as disposable medical devices, including flexible fluid bags, tubing, oxygen, masks, surgical gloves, and face shields. Whereas, due to COVID-19 outbreak, at presently, plastics have revolutionized the medical industry and represent the largest group of materials used in medical technology.
