Latin America is expected to witness steady growth for the molded plastic market. This is attributed to Growing urbanization and increasing disposable income of the people are likely to influence the market growth.
Segment Insights:
Global molded plastic market is segmented by type, technology, application, and region.
On the basis of type, molded plastic market is segmented into PE (Polyethylene), PP (Polypropylene), PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate), PS (Polystyrene), PU (Polyurethane), and others. PE segment is expected to hold largest share of market owing to its high stiffness, excellent rigidity, environmental stress cracking resistance (ESCR), and high load melt strength. Moreover, it is used in various applications such as packaging, automotive and transportation owing to its high chemical resistance, moisture resistance, and excellent process ability.
On the basis of technology, molded plastic market is segmented into injection molding, blow molding, extrusion, thermoforming, & others. Extrusion process is likely to hold the largest share in technology segment as it is comparatively economical. Moreover, injection molding allow companies to upsurge their output in a shorter period with various moldable designs. Furthermore, the machinery & mold cost of extrusion is discreetly low than that of injection blow mold for the reason that of low-pressure requirement.
On the basis of application, molded plastic market is segmented into packaging, automotive & transportation, construction & infrastructure, electronics & electrical, pharmaceutical, and agriculture. Among application, packaging segment is expected to grow with the highest CAGR, owing to increasing usage of polymers in pharmaceutical, cosmetics, food & beverages, and industrial products such as acids, chemicals, and lubricants. Moreover, rising per capita expenses on food & beverages, changing packaging patterns, and improved lifestyle, are some of the factors that are projected to increase the consumption of polymers in packaging.
