Global Transparent Plastics Market Is Estimated To Witness High Growth Owing To Rising Adoption
A variety of transparent plastics are used in various applications owing to their low cost, durability, versatility, and aesthetic properties. They are more durable than glass, which makes them suitable for food and beverage containers, safety and security products, architectural glazing, and automotive parts. They are also highly machinable, which is important for injection molding. They can be molded into complex shapes and have good electrical, thermal, and chemical properties. The most popular transparent plastics include polymethyl methacrylate (abbreviated PMMA), polycarbonate, and PET. These three are all used for a wide range of applications and have similar properties, including high impact strength and clarity. While these plastics offer many benefits, they can create challenges during the molding process. They are generally stiff-flowing materials with a lower melt flow index than other plastics, and their viscosity can be quite high.
The Transparent
Plastics Market
size
was valued at US$ 161.2 billion in 2022, and it is expected to
reach USD 214.91 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of
3.66% during the forecast period.
Market
Dynamics:
Rising product launches are estimated
to augment growth of the global
transparent plastics market during the forecast period. For
instance, Dow introduced additional material
options in 2021, for their Asia-Pacific plastics range. These new materials are
being presented in the healthcare, mobility, and industry 4.0.
Moreover, increasing stringent government regulations are
anticipated to restrain growth of the global transparent plastics market during
the forecast period.
Impact
of COVID-19:
COVID-19
was first reported in 2019 in China. This outbreak led to imposition of strict
restrictions globally, for preventing the spread of the virus. The pandemic
also led to shutting down of manufacturing units in many industries. Production
activities were halted owing to shortage of raw materials and lack of labor.
Supply chains were also disrupted in many regions. This led to decrease in
demand for transparent plastics. Thus, the growth of the global transparent
plastics market was hindered during the pandemic.
Key
Takeaways:
The
global
transparent plastics market is expected to witness high growth,
exhibiting CAGR of 3.66 % over the
forecast period, due to increasing adoption of inorganic growth activities. For instance, DuPont has being manufacturing polyester
films and coatings in their factory in Teesside, in 2021. They have been
supplying face shields to individuals and community organizations during the
pandemic.
Asia
Pacific is anticipated to witness significant growth in the global transparent plastics market during
the forecast period, due to growing manufacturing
hubs and rising demand for transparent plastics.
Key players
operating in the
global transparent plastics market are LANXESS AG, EI. Du Pont De Nemours and
Company, Evonik Industries AG, Dow Chemical Company, PPG Industries, Lyondellbasell
Industries, INEOS, Holdings B.V., BASF SE, and SABIC, Covestro.
