China Engineering Plastics - Market Share Analysis, Industry Trends & Statistics, Growth Forecasts 2017 - 2029


The China Engineering Plastics Market size is estimated at USD 43.17 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 61.78 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 7.43% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

Packaging to lose its market share by volume to the electrical and electronics industry

  • Engineering plastics have applications ranging from interior wall panels and doors in the aerospace industry to rigid and flexible packaging. The Asia-Pacific engineering plastics market is led by the packaging, electrical and electronics, and automotive industries. The packaging electrical and electronics industries accounted for around 39.65% and 35.86%, respectively, of the engineering plastics market by volume in 2022.
  • In 2020, China's engineering plastics consumption fell by 2.88% by volume over the previous year due to disruptions in the global supply chain. However, consumption recovered in 2021 and continued to grow steadily, increasing by 2.35% in volume in 2022.
  • The packaging industry consumes the highest amounts of engineering plastics in the country due to the large-scale production of plastic bottles used in the packaging of beverages, drinking water, personal care, and household care products, among others. China is the largest e-commerce market globally, with its share amounting to almost 50%. The country's e-commerce market is projected to reach a revenue of around USD 2.3 trillion in 2027 from USD 1.4 trillion in 2023. In 2022, the industry consumed 7.09 million tons of resin, which is expected to reach 9.6 million tons by 2029. All these factors boost the industry's consumption, which is expected to record a CAGR of 6.47%, by value, during the forecast period.
  • Automotive is the fastest-growing end-user industry of the Chinese engineering plastics market, expected to record a CAGR of 9.40% by revenue during the forecast period. This is in line with the industry's increasing demand for lightweight engineering plastic composites, such as polycarbonate, polyamide, and fluoropolymer, for use in vehicle components due to their benefits such as high-temperature use, chemical inertness, resistance to abrasion, and non-leaching capabilities that ensure consistent performance.

China Engineering Plastics Market Trends

China to remain a global electronics manufacturing hub

  • China witnessed a 14.5% increase in the revenue of its electrical and electronics industry from 2020 to 2021.​ Of these, the output of telecom equipment manufacturers registered a Y-o-Y gain of 8.6% in the first four months, while mobile phone output shrank by 10.9% from the previous year. The output of computer manufacturers registered a 3.9% growth in 2020 from the previous year.
  • The output of laptops and tablet computers dropped by 31.1% and 24.5%, respectively, in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic-related disruptions.
  • However, during the same period, the demand for electrical and electronic products increased owing to the rising demand for electronics and gaming. In 2021, the total profit of Chinese electronic manufacturing enterprises grew by 38.9% over the previous year, reaching CNY 828.3 billion, recording the highest growth rate in the given period. After experiencing a decrease in 2018, the industry's profits rose quickly from 2019 to 2021.​
  • China domestically manufactures 85% of the electronics used in its defense industry, and the ratio of domestically manufactured essential electronic parts in defense and high-tech equipment rose from 30% to 85%.​ China remains an important global manufacturing base for consumer electronics, attracting the world's major electronic producers to establish manufacturing bases and research and development centers. Such developments boosted electronics production in 2022, ranking the country first in terms of global production. Such factors are expected to drive production in the electrical and electronics industry during the forecast period.
