Plastics represent polymeric materials made from synthetic or semi-synthetic organic compounds that are flexible and can be molded into preferred shapes using heat and pressure. Some commonly used plastics include polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and liquid crystal polymers. They are lightweight, cost-effective, and durable and offer corrosion resistance, high thermal and electrical insulation, and inertness to biological materials. Consequently, plastics find extensive applications across the packaging, construction, agriculture, automotive, electronics, healthcare, and textile sectors.

Plastics Market Trends and Drivers:
The rising usage of the polymer in the packaging sector to pack pickles, processed vegetables and fruits, syrups, jams, baby food, and dairy items is primarily augmenting the plastics market. Furthermore, the elevating demand for ready-to-eat (RTE) food products, on account of hectic lifestyles and busy schedules, is positively influencing the global market. Apart from this, the widespread adoption of the polymer in the automotive sector to manufacture vehicle components and improve fuel efficiency, enhance safety, reduce weight, minimize noise, and lower production costs is acting as another significant growth-inducing factor. Moreover, the introduction of bioplastics with potential applications in food packaging, medical devices, agriculture, horticulture, and cosmetics, owing to their lower carbon footprint, non-toxicity, safety, and bio-inertness, is also bolstering the market growth. Besides this, the escalating demand for engineering plastics that offer exceptional load capacity, thermal stability, mechanical strength, and durability is further catalyzing the global market. Additionally, the increasing utilization of the polymer in manufacturing composite materials as a replacement for metals, including steel and aluminum, for applications in industrial engineering, building, construction, and machinery is also driving the market growth. In addition to this, the inflating industrialization, the extensive R&D activities, and the rising investments by numerous government bodies in infrastructural development are expected to drive the plastics market in the coming years.
