What Are the Key Growth Drivers Fueling the Plastic Market Expansion?
The growth of the plastic market is expected to be fueled by the escalating advancements in infrastructure. Infrastructure encompasses basic systems and facilities essential for the evolution and operation of an economy or society. This surge in infrastructure development stems from the burgeoning urban population's demand for improved transport, accommodation, and fundamental amenities. Plastics, due to their adaptability, longevity, and cost-efficiency, play a crucial role in the progress of infrastructure. They are extensively employed in the construction of water supply, sewage, and drainage piping systems owing to their resistance to corrosion and chemical interaction. As per a report released by the Office for National Statistics, a government organization based in the UK, in July 2024, there was a 9.6% increase in total government expenditure on infrastructure in 2022 in comparison to 2021, hitting $34.9 billion (£26.0 billion). Consequently, the growth of the plastic market will be driven by the amplifying developments in infrastructure.

What Trends Will Shape the Plastic Market Through 2029 and Beyond?
Leading players in the plastic industry are prioritizing the design of innovative products like high-rigidity polyethylene (PE), renowned for its exceptional dimensional stability. This variety of plastic is renowned for its impressive structural toughness, making it a preferred choice for applications needing durability and resistance to deformation. For example, in March 2022, Sumitomo Chemical, a chemical corporation based in Japan, introduced Sumicle, a high-rigidity polyethylene (PE) devised for use in plastic packages and containers. Crafted with a special compounding technology, this high-rigidity polyethylene (PE) can be used on the foundational layer of plastic receptacles and packages. This invention paves the way for the creation of mono-material packages crafted solely from PE, presenting alternatives for conventional materials such as nylon or PET in the external base layer. A blend of Sumicle and a PE sealant layer renders these packages entirely recyclable via horizontal recycling, facilitating the repurpose of used plastics for akin uses. This method aids in decreasing dependence on fossil materials and lessening greenhouse gas emissions ensuing from the burning of plastic waste.
