Global Post-Consumer Recycled Plastics Market Size study, by Service (Collection & Transportation, Recycling, Incineration and Landfills/Disposal), by Polymer Type (Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE), Polypropylene (PP) and Others), by Processing Type (Chemical Process, Mechanical Process and Biological Process), by End-Use Application (Packaging, Building & Construction, Automotive, Furniture, and Others) and Regional Analysis, 2022-2029
Global Post-Consumer Recycled Plastics Market is valued at approximately USD 15.01 billion in 2021 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 5.7% over the forecast period 2022-2029. Post-consumer recycled plastic is a used, recycled, and repurposed type of plastic that is obtained from plastic products (such as clear water bottles). It is the combination of plastic packaging materials in the recycling services. There are numerous environmental benefits of using recycled materials such as it minimizes global warming, reducing pollution, offer protection to the environment, and they are adopted by corporates who need to change a viable design policy. Reduced environmental impact through plastic recycling, growing awareness programs regarding sustainable waste management practices, and increased demand for recycled plastic from the packaging industry are some factors that are contributing to the market growth around the world.
The increasing urban population is acting as a major driving factor that leads the market development at a substantial rate. For instance, according to the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs in 2018, it is estimated that 55% of the total world’s population lives in the urban area and is expected to rise to 68% by 2050. Thus, these aforementioned factors are fueling the demand for post-consumer recycled plastics in the global market during the estimated years. Moreover, increasing R&D investments and growing public & private sector partnerships for the management of plastic waste are the features that create lucrative growth opportunities for the market growth over the forecast period 2022-2029. However, low contribution in the management of plastic waste by the residential sector, fewer treatment plants and the lack of knowledge about the recycling of plastic waste are the few factors limiting the growth of the market around the world.
The key regions considered for the Global Post-Consumer Recycled Plastics Market study include Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and the Rest of the World. North America is the leading region across the world due to the technological advancements in the waste management industry, and laws governing plastic waste collection, disposal, and recycling across the region. Whereas, Asia Pacific is anticipated to exhibit the highest growth rate over the forecast period 2022-2029. Factors such as the changing lifestyle, increasing awareness about the benefits of using recycled plastics among people and high disposable income would create lucrative growth prospects for the Post-Consumer Recycled Plastics Market across the Asia Pacific region.
