Market Share by Type & Geography

ABS accounts for the largest share of the market in terms of revenue amongst all types of engineering plastics, its excellent qualities like strength, corrosion resistance and easy application making it a favored choice among industrial users. By application, the automotive industry accounts for the largest market share due to rapid metal parts replacement.

Geographically, Asia Pacific holds the largest market for engineering plastics, owing to rapid industrialization, and thriving automotive and consumer industries in the region.

Trends, Drivers & Challenges to Market Growth

Rising usage of engineering plastics as a replacement for metals in various industries, augmented by industrial growth worldwide, and rapid technological advancements in engineering technology that allow these plastics to enter new applications are the key factors driving growth in the engineering plastics market. Growth and development in the automotive sector, the largest application segment of these plastics, will also drive demand as automakers increasingly use these plastics instead of metal parts to reduce the weight of vehicles and increase fuel efficiency. Trends of miniaturization of electrical components might also affect market momentum. Low cost of plastics is another factor making the use of these plastics favorable.

However, adverse fluctuation in oil prices and government regulations regarding carbon dioxide emission might pose challenges to the growth of the global engineering plastics market. Further, development of low cost commodity resins might also hinder demand for engineering plastics to an extent.
