The increasing production activities in various industries such as construction, transportation, and textile, among others, owing to the rising population, are fuelling the plastics industry. Moreover, plastics are also used as a metal substitute to improve fuel efficiency and promote green energy in the automobile sector, which is aiding the market growth. The increasing construction activities in emerging economies such as India, China, and Brazil due to the population spurge and rapid urbanisation is further catalysing the market growth for plastics. Plastics are used in various applications in the construction sector, including decoration, flooring, and waterproofing, among others. Plastic is durable, cost-effective, safe, energy effective, and recyclable; these properties also aid the industry growth.
Moreover, plastics are suitable to be used in the packaging industry due to their durability and cost-effectiveness. Innovations in the plastic industry are increasing its demand in the food and beverage industry, health and pharmaceutical sector, and the cosmetics industry, among others. Modified atmosphere packaging in the food and beverage industry preserves food freshness and extends the product’s shelf life while plastic offers lightweight, durable, and attractive packaging solutions in the cosmetics industry; such developments are significantly facilitating the market growth. Additionally, the varying types of plastics and their unique properties ensure their usage in consumer goods, which is further augmenting the market growth.
Plastics are a wide range of synthetic and semi-synthetic materials and always include carbon and hydrogen. The polymer that is used to create plastics is mixed with additives, such as colourants, stabilisers, and fillers, which affects the chemical and physical properties. They are used in a wide range of applications and in almost every industry, such as construction, textile, healthcare, transportation, and electronics, among others.

The substitution of metal such as aluminium and iron with plastics is facilitating the market growth. Advanced and cost-effective plastics are increasingly used in all types of industries owing to the high strength, superior flexibility, and consistent reliability while reducing the cost by 20-25%, which are further aiding the market growth. Moreover, with the use of specialised design techniques, plastic with better physical and chemical properties than metal can be developed; this is expected to further aid the industry growth. As plastics are extremely lightweight, they are used in a variety of transportation activities, including glazing, partitions, light diffusers, and headliners, while improving the fuel economy, consequently invigorating the market growth.
Furthermore, the rising demand for medical personal protective equipment owing to the coronavirus pandemic is lubricating the growth of the plastic industry. The demand for masks, face shields, gowns, goggles, gloves, and overalls, among others, is escalating exponentially, leading to the growth of the market. The excessive use of plastics has led to the accumulation of plastic waste around the globe, which can hinder the growth of the plastic industry. However, various innovations and evolutions in the industry to promote sustainability and recyclability are driving the market growth. The use of plastics in the construction of roads posits various advantages like less construction time and low maintenance; the advent of plastic roads as a way to increase sustainability is propelling the industry growth. The increasing use of recyclable plastics in beauty packaging is providing further impetus to the market growth.
The report presents a detailed analysis of the following key players in the global plastic market, looking into their capacity, market shares, and latest developments like capacity expansions, plant turnarounds, and mergers and acquisitions:
The comprehensive report looks into the macro and micro aspects of the industry. The EMR report gives an in-depth insight into the market by providing a SWOT analysis as well as an analysis of Porter’s Five Forces model.
