Engineering Plastics Market Growth Drivers

• Engineered Plastics Demand Driven by End-Use Industries: The principal driving force for demand in engineered plastics is their vast applications in various types of end-use industries, such as automobile, electrical and electronic, industrial machinery, and consumer appliances. Major demand drivers, however, are dominated by automotive OEMs who are in constant demand for materials that can contribute to improving fuel efficiency while providing the necessary strength for higher performance.
• Customization Enhances Engineered Plastics Appeal: One of the major drivers of growth in the market is the possibility of engineered plastics being tailored to a variety of applications. The manufacturer can modify the peculiar properties of these materials in such a way so as to meet the rather different requirements of the highly varied industries and, therefore, significantly enhance their appeal and functionality.
  
• Rising Demand for Biodegradable Engineered Plastics: Demand for bioplastics-the plastics derived from renewable resources-in an era of consumers and manufacturers focused on sustainability, is expected to grow. Realization of deploying engineered plastics with inclusion of biodegradable material will attract environment conscious customers and will be in line with the world's efforts on building a low plastic waste society.

Engineering Plastics Market Future Trends

• Adoption of Lightweight Materials for Improved Performance: In general, there is a recent growing emphasis on lightweighting in all areas of application, as summarized above. Lighter and composites are primarily used in vehicle and aerospace applications. Engineered plastics have provided a generally positive alternative to materials like metals. Weight reductions and resultant overall energy efficiency are realized through the minimized use of these materials.
  
• Focus on Recyclability and Resource Conservation in Plastics: As sustainability is today much more important to manufacturers than ever before - and, indeed, to consumers also - increasing focus is being placed on the recyclability of products and their eco-friendliness. In this context, engineered plastics may be considered an option in the conservation of resources, proper reduction of plastic waste, and the promotion of circular economy practices.
  
• Rapid Growth of Engineered Plastics in Southeast Asia: There is high growth in engineered plastics in the emerging economies, where piling up due to rapid industrialization and urbanization can be witnessed. India as well as other Southeast Asian countries would require huge growth in plastics, though most countries show decent growth in these sectors.

Engineering Plastics Market Opportunities

• High Growth of Engineered Plastics in Electronics: The electrical and electronics sector is growing at a very good projected CAGR of 8.09% by value. Growth is being fuelled through continued adoption of advanced materials and smart manufacturing practices, necessitating high-performance plastics which can work under high temperatures and offer electrical insulation.
  
• Advances in Polymer Science Boost Engineered Plastics: Innovations in polymer science are leading to enhanced properties of engineered plastics which make it a more versatile material for a wide range of applications. Some improvements include strength and heat resistance as well as resistance to chemical attacks, necessary for current manufacturing techniques.
  
• Engineered Plastics Enhancing Automotive Fuel Efficiency: Surface areas in the use of lightweight materials for the enhancement of fuel efficiency and the reduction of emissions from vehicles are increasingly being found in the automobile industry. Engineered plastics become indispensable in design features of a vehicle and could be incorporated into interior components such as interior trim and exterior panels as body cladding while under the hood parts.
