Global Engineering Plastics Market Market Size
The engineering plastics market was valued at US$89.95 billion in 2020 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1% to reach US$161.93 billion by 2030.
A class of plastics known as engineering plastics differs from traditional plastic materials in mechanical and thermal properties. Engineering plastics are thermoplastics that come in various forms and have excellent specified properties. For example, polycarbonate engineering plastic is widely used in the production of motorcycle helmets because of its exceptional impact and thud resistance. One of the main factors anticipated to propel the engineering plastics market's growth is the growing use of these materials by industries worldwide instead of more traditional materials like metals, glass, and alloys. Nonetheless, strict environmental regulations linked to carbon dioxide emissions and fluctuating crude oil prices are significant factors anticipated to impede the growth of the engineering plastics industry market during the anticipated time frame.
