Grand View Research, Inc. - Market Research And Consulting.According to report published by Grand View Research, Plastics Market To Grow At A CAGR Of 8.1% From 2014 To 2020 . Plastics are synthetic or semi-synthetic organic solids which are cast or changed to various valuable products. Plastics are generally organic polymers which occur naturally or sometimes, are derivatives of petrochemicals.
The global plastics market was valued at USD 381.83 billion in 2013 and is expects to expand at an 8.1% CAGR from 2014 to 2020, according to a report by Grand View Research, Inc. The availability of raw materials, ease in manufacturing, and low production cost are factors influencing the use of plastic for manufacturing various products. The industrial sectors using the material include packaging, automotive, construction, electronics, and others.
The plastics market is anticipated to scale at a significant growth rate from 2012 to 2020 (forecast period) owing to increasing demand for sustainable products by consumers. The growth of sectors such as construction and packaging are expected to provide an impetus to market during the forecast period. Fluctuating raw material prices and growing environmental concerns are expected to pose a challenge to market growth. However, industry manufacturers have shifted their focus to developing bioplastics in order to overcome this hurdle.
Bio-based or drop-in plastics are gaining prominence due to the use of sustainable materials and minimizing the damage to the environment. For instance, the Coca-Cola Company has used this material since July 2017 for packaging purposes of its trademark drink and other beverages. Its PlantBottle packaging uses materials derived from plants to produce plastic in more than 40 countries. In 2018, German company FRIMO created an innovative system in order to expedite the production of vehicles in the automotive sector. This system can handle the production of thermoforming plastic for complex components in vehicle interiors. Companies in the market for plastics are focusing on innovations which reduce the dependence on crude oil and focus on organic materials.

The North America and Europe markets have attained maturity and may experience a slower growth compared to other regions. The demand for bioplastics and engineering thermoplastics is anticipated to drive demand in these markets. Europe, in particular, is emphasizing on production of bioplastics and has increased the production of biopolymers such as polylactic acid (PLA) and polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA). The recyclable nature of these plastics is expected to make it a primary raw material in the food and beverages sector.
Key players in the plastics market include Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC), The Dow Chemical Company, BASF SE, E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company, and Total S.A. These players are forming partnerships or collaborations with biotechnology companies to produce bioplastics. For instance, SABIC has entered into a joint venture with CTE Petrochemicals Company in January 2018 to kickstart the production of polyacetal (POM) in Jubail, Saudi Arabia. Polyacetal is a thermoplastic with the potential to replace metal components in construction and automotive sectors. Other prominent players are shifting their base to regions with lax regulations to increase their capacity and lower production costs.
