Global Thermoplastics Market Driver, Challenges, Trends and Forecasts 2015-2020 - Research and Markets
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/l8ltlx/global)
has announced the addition of the "Global
Thermoplastics Market - Segmented by Type, Application and Geography -
Trends and Forecasts (2015-2020)" report to their offering.
The major trend driving the thermoplastics market is the growing demand
for Developing countries like India, China and Brazil, and is reflected
in growing production of thermoplastics: in 2012 production of
thermoplastics amounted to 218.88 million tonnes.
Global thermoplastics production is currently estimated to be 233.11
million tonnes in 2014 and is expected to reach 296.66 million tonnes by
2020 showing a compound annual growth rate of 4.1%. Asia-Pacific
currently dominates the market for thermoplastics followed by North
America and Europe. The developing regions of South America and Asia
Pacific are expected to increase its market share in the future owing to
the growing purchasing power in the developing countries.
Our Thermoplastics current data shows that Europe and North America
remain interesting as locations for research and development and also
important as sales markets. However, the establishment of new production
capacities is favored in the Middle East region.
Middle East region will emerge as the largest exporter of polyethylene
in the world. Production of polyethylene in most countries will be
unable to compete with the Middle East production as feedstock costs of
the Middle East producers are much less than that of the cost of
feedstock available to Asian and European producers.
Thermoplastics are used in an increasing number of markets - from
Packaging, Building & Construction, Electrical & electronics, Automotive
& transportation, Furniture & bedding, Sports & leisure and a number of
other segments.
Drivers
China is the most attractive market for polyethylene in the world and
will be the principal driver for global thermoplastics demand to 2020.
The rapid increase in downstream processing capacity additions,
primarily geared towards export markets, will be the main driver of
polyethylene demand in the future. The study indicates that innovations
in packaging, rising living standards and population, growing demand in
end user markets, and emerging economies are anticipated to boost the
industry.
Challenges
The industry is expected to face certain challenges such as regulatory
standards to reduce CO2 emissions, fluctuation of crude oil prices, and
product commoditization.
