Plastic Compounding Market Share, Size, Trends, Industry Analysis Report, By Source (Fossil-based, Bio-based, Recycled); By Product; By End-use; By Region; And Segment Forecasts, 2024 - 2032

The global plastic compounding market size is expected to reach USD 129.55 billion by 2032, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “Plastic Compounding Market Share, Size, Trends, Industry Analysis Report, By Source (Fossil-based, Bio-based, Recycled); By Product; By End-use; By Region; And Segment Forecasts, 2024 - 2032” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.

A major factor propelling the market is the increasing need for automobiles, especially in developing nations like China & India. The need for automobiles is predicted to rise sharply as these nations' fast industrialization and rise in personal disposable income continue. The trend toward lighter vehicle production and the growing demand for electric cars also favor the growth. Worldwide sales of electric vehicles (EVs) have been increasing, with Europe, China, and the United States accounting for over 95% of total sales by 2022.

Outside of China, (EMDEs) make up a minor percentage of the global EV industry, but demand for EVs has lately increased. India, Indonesia, and Thailand had strong growth in electric mobility in 2022, with electric car sales more than tripling from 2021 levels. China's overall sales of electric light commercial vehicles (LCVs) are selling more than 130,000 units, with electric cars accounting for approximately 15% of LCV sales.

Additionally, lightweight materials like plastics are becoming increasingly necessary as automakers try to make their cars lighter to comply with emissions regulations and increase fuel economy.

Growing industrialization and urbanization have led to a significant demand for plastic compounding in several sectors. While compounded plastics are essential to the packaging industry due to their adaptability and preservation characteristics, polymers such as PVC mixes are essential for durable and versatile building materials in the development of cities.

Furthermore, there have been notable advancements in R&D and technology. The use of alternatives like bioplastic or recycled plastic is on the rise as they reduce the damage to the environment. Bioplastics may be produced from naturally occurring renewable materials and utilized as food packaging material. Bio-plastic films use natural elements like licorice root and the starch from tamarind and berry seeds.
