The global plastic compounding market size is projected to reach USD 112.08 billion by 2030, advancing at a CAGR of 7.4% during the forecast period. The continued expansion observed in various major end-use industries such as construction, electrical & electronics, packaging, and automotive is expected to be a significant factor enabling market growth. The various desirable properties of plastic such as low cost and the ability to turn the material into the required shape and form with ease have been an important reason for the high adoption of plastic in various industries. Developed as well as developing economies are witnessing widespread demand for plastic compounds, as they prove to be critical in a number of processes.
The demand for polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is expected to witness significant growth in the United States in the coming years, on account of its increasing demand in the packaging business. PET is notable as a raw material in plastic bottle production, with companies aiming to implement Good Manufacturing Practices for optimally using and conserving available resources. A variety of products can be manufactured through the integration of different fillers and additives in the process, which include antioxidants, colorants, lubricants, flame retardants, processing aids, blowing agents, and light stabilizers, among many others. The construction sector is an important enabler of market growth, as a number of aspects such as pipe fittings, insulation, and other materials and equipment are being prepared by utilizing plastic components. The addition of flame-retardant chemicals to PVC components has been a significant aspect with regard to building materials.
The market has witnessed growth across both developed and developing regions, as plastic has become an important material in almost every major industry. For instance, Asia Pacific is a major revenue generator for the PET compound segment, on account of the rising popularity of nutritional and carbonated drinks in the region. On the other hand, in the North American region, the rapidly growing construction sector is expected to aid industry progress in the near future. In the Middle East, countries such as Qatar and the UAE have witnessed substantial developments in the construction sector, with many real estate projects looking into the use of innovative materials in the construction process. This has led to significant investments in the r
