Global Extruded Plastics Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Material, (Polyethylene, Polypropylene, Polyvinyl Chloride, Polystyrene, Polycarbonate, and Others), By Application, By End-use, By Regional Outlook and Forecast, 2024 - 2031

The Global Extruded Plastics Market size is expected to reach $252.9 billion by 2031, rising at a market growth of 4.2% CAGR during the forecast period. In the year 2023, the market attained a volume of 1,32,285.0 kilo tonnes, experiencing a growth of 17.4% (2020-2023).

With the rise in urbanization and industrialization globally, electricity is continuously being demanded. Thus, the cables and wires segment captured 10.1% revenue share in the market2023. In terms of volume the cable and wires segment attained a volume of 11,334.1 kilo tonnes in the market 2022.This drives the need for cables and wires for power transmission and distribution networks. Infrastructure development projects, such as constructing smart cities and upgrading electrical grids, require extensive deployment of cables and wires.

Extruded plastics present various packaging options catering to different industries' unique requirements. Whether it's flexible films for food packaging, rigid containers for pharmaceutical products, or protective packaging for consumer goods, it offers versatility in design and functionality.

Additionally, as per the data from the Government of Mexico, construction generated a gross domestic product of $1.61T MX in the fourth quarter of 2023, representing a growth of 1.21% in comparison to the preceding quarter and a substantial increase of 20.2% when compared to the corresponding period in the prior year.

However, the prices of raw materials utilized in plastic extrusion, particularly petroleum-based derivatives, are intricately linked to broader global economic conditions. Geopolitical tensions, such as trade disputes or geopolitical conflicts in oil-producing regions, can disrupt supply chains and trigger sudden spikes in raw material costs. Therefore, these factors will hamper the growth of the market.
