Plastic Materials and Resins Market 2016 by Segment, Country, Region & Forecasts to 2019

ReportsWeb.com published “Plastic Materials and Resins Market” from its database. The report covers the market landscape and its growth prospects over the coming years. The report also includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market.

Plastics materials and resins manufacturing industry comprises establishments involved in manufacturing resins, plastic materials, non-vulcanizable thermoplastic elastomers, customized mixing and blending of resins, and manufacturing of non-customized synthetic resins.
Thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) are a special group of polymers that do not rely on cross-linking to produce a large amount of elastic deformation. They have both thermoplastic and elastomeric characteristics. These include copolymers of polystyrene and butadiene rubber. Synthetic resins are a large group of synthetic products that are chemically very different from natural resins. The only physical property that is similar between synthetic and natural plant resins is that they are viscous liquids capable of hardening permanently.
Asia was the largest region in the plastics material and resin market in 2016, accounting for around 55% market share. Asia is the largest market partially because its growing middle classes in Asia are still first-time buyers of plastic products already in the household inventories of the developed economies. The Americas was the second largest region accounting for around 24% market share. Europe was the third largest region accounting for around 20% market share.

Polypropylene (PP) was the largest segment in the plastic materials and resins market accounting for around $90 billion of the total market. PP is a smooth surface plastic that cracks easily when bent. It is used in automotive fittings and industrial fibers. High-Density Polyethylene (PE-HD) was the second largest segment, accounting for around $60 billion. PE-HD is a polyethylene thermoplastic made from petroleum. It is also called "alkathene" or "polythene" when it is used in pipes, plastic bottles and plastic bags. Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) was the third most important segment, accounting for around $59 billion. It is less dependent than other polymers on crude oil or natural gas. It is used in window frames, flooring and plumbing pipes.

Resins are organic compounds consisting of a non-crystalline or viscous liquid substance. Natural resins are typically fusible and flammable organic substances that are transparent or translucent and are yellowish to brown in color. Some examples of resins include frankincense, myrrh and benzoin.

Plastic is a material consisting of any of a wide range of synthetic or semi-synthetic organics that are malleable and can be molded into solid objects of diverse shapes. Due to their relatively low cost, ease of manufacture, versatility, and rigidity to water, plastics are used in an enormous and expanding range of products, from paper clips to spaceships. Some examples of plastic materials include polyethylene terephthalate and polyvinyl chlorides.

The intense search for new characteristics for plastic materials and innovations in the manufacturing process have led to the development of various high-performance plastics. For example, Smart polymers is a material that can manipulate its dimensions based on the changes in the environment. Nanocomposites are a product that is a result of a combination of nanotechnology and plastics engineering. These products have high electrical conductivity, dimensional stability, and are also flame retardant along with resistance to scratch, dent and heat. These new high-performance plastics have gained rapid acceptance and find their applications in the medical, electronics, food packaging, automotive and aerospace sectors.
