Global Engineering Plastics Market Overview

Plastic materials having an excellent combination of thermal and mechanical properties as compared to other commodity plastic materials are called engineering plastics. These plastics materials have unique features such as high abrasion, higher impact strength, wear & fatigue resistance, high-temperature resistance range, and chemical resistance based on the content.

Engineering plastics are costlier and are produced for particular applications. Engineering plastics are also known as thermoplastic materials. Henceforth these materials can efficiently be processed with standard plastic processing equipment.

Engineering plastics include polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), poly-oxymethylene plastic (POM), polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), polyamides (PA), polycarbonates (PC), polyetheretherketone (PEEK), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polysulphone (PSU), poly(p-phenylene) oxide (PPO), polyimides, and poly-ether ketone (PEK).

As a result of an extensive range of properties, engineering plastics have various applications in electrical, electronics, automotive, medical, construction, packaging, transportation, and numerous other industrial sectors.

One of the major driving factors for the engineering plastics industry is the growth in the automotive industry in all regions. Due to its properties with respect to metals such as high strength, weight reduction, and lightweight, these materials were rapidly replacing metal components in industrial machinery as well as the automotive industry.

With the growing demand in the electronics & electrical appliances market, the demand for engineering plastics has raised. However, the higher cost of engineering plastics materials may restrict the engineering plastics market. The use of engineering plastics in the aerospace industry for building spaceships could be the future trend for this market.

The Asia Pacific is the dominating market for engineering plastics. The growth of the market in the Asia Pacific is driven by huge demand for engineering plastics products in various industries in developing countries such as China and India. The North American market is anticipated to grow at a steady growth rate, while the engineering plastics product demand in Europe is foreseen to increase at a higher rate in the future.
