Expert Market Research Explores the Top 4 Companies in the Global Plastic Fillers Market

The global plastic fillers market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5% in the forecast period of 2022-2027.

Plastic fillers are materials added to plastics to enhance their physical and mechanical properties and achieve cost savings. These products enhance thermal and electrical conductivity, improve binding between polymer matrix and the fibres, improve flexibility, reduce material cost and improves tensile strength. These fillers can be in the form of solids, liquids, or gases. They reduce the consumption of the base materials by occupying space and replacing expensive resins without affecting other characteristics.

The plastic fillers market is segmented as continuous fillers, discontinuous fillers, and nanofillers based on form. Discontinuous fillers are primarily inorganic fillers in flakes, spheres, irregular shapes and platelets, which are dispersed in multiple geometric patterns and various orientations. These products are cost-effective and confer excellent mechanical and modulus features to the base materials.

Based on application, the the plastic fillers market is segmented as automotive, building and construction, electrical and electronics, and packaging, among others. The product offers excellent thermal, chemical, mechanical, and electrical properties, stimulating their adoption in the automotive sector.

The Asia Pacific accounts for a significant share in the market and is likely to remain dominant in the forecast period. This rising population has accelerated the demand for residential houses and improved infrastructure in the region, which, in turn, is expected to drive the need for plastic fillers in the construction industry. Furthermore, the market in the area is anticipated to be propelled by the rising demand for plastic filler in countries like China, Japan, South Korea, and India, owing to their significant economic growth and increasing product demand in downstream markets, including packaging, electrical and electronics, and others.
