The thermal and catalytic processes of converting waste plastics into fuels are promising techniques to eliminate the refuse, which otherwise, is harmful to the environment, and to decrease the dependence on fossil fuels. Thermal degradation breaks down plastic into three fractions – solid residue, crude oil and gas.

The increasing demand for energy from waste is expected to fuel further research & development towards the proliferation of advancements that improve clean energy efficiency. This primary factor is expected to boost future revenue growth of the global plastic-to-fuel market in the coming years. Increasing government aid in the form of financial incentives and tax benefits, as well as a favorable regulatory layout is expected to have a significant impact on future market growth.

The rising demand from the recycling industry in developed economies such as Sweden, Japan, Netherlands, the US, Germany, etc., where major companies such as BP, Chevron, etc. are introducing novel plastic-to-fuel techniques, are slated to have a positive influence on revenue growth of the plastics-to-fuel market in the years to come.

In recent years, there has been increased adoption of hydrogen-powered fuel cells as it is classed as a pollution-free source of energy, and used extensively to power buses and cars. This factor is expected to boost hydrogen production from plastics over the next 10 years.

Segmentation of the global plastic-to-fuel market is as follows:

In terms of technology, the pyrolysis technology segment accounted for the majority revenue share of the global plastic-to-fuel market in 2019, as it is more efficient than other technologies at processing unwashed, mixed and soiled plastics.

With respect to end-use, the crude oil segment accounted for the highest number of revenue shares of the global market, as the products from this segment have a wide array of applications in ships, tractors, boilers, automobiles, construction machinery, power generators, etc.

Regional Segmentation and Analysis:

The APAC accounted for the majority revenue share of the global center stack display market in 2019. Increasing urbanization and industrialization, as well as favorable government regulations and policies are expected to fuel market growth in the years to come. Europe accounted for the second-largest revenue share of the global market.
