Global Plastic Compounding Market, By Polymer Type (PP, PE, PVC, PS, EPS, PET, PU, ABS, Others) By End Use (Automotive, Building and construction, Packaging, Electrical & electronics, Medical, Others), By Region (North America, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, Rest of the World) – Market Size & Forecasting(2016-2025)

Plastic Compounding is a method of mixing polymers and additives in a frozen state to prepare plastic formulations. These blends are usually treated automatically by feeders with fixed set points. It is generally introduced to a mixture of copolymers such as styrene acrylonitrile glue (SAN), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), and styrene maleic anhydride (SMA) with additives such as UV-stabilizers, antioxidants and other value-adding substances, sometimes reinforcing components such as glass fiber.

Furthermore, fast industrialization and the urbanization and extension of the manufacturing, electronics and electrical and building sectors are some of the main variables complementing the development of the plastic compounding industry. In addition, plastic is used in floors, insulation materials, holding rooms, safety quality windows, doors, tubes, and wires in the building industry. This variable has resulted in increased supply for plastic compounds and is anticipated to fuel market growth. In addition, the use of plastic compounds in the automotive and electronic and electrical industries has increased due to properties such as light weight, fatigue resistance and better chemical and temperature resistance. Future demand for plastic compounds is expected to increase this factor.

Polypropylene is commonly used in automotive apps due to its low weight, excellent fatigue resistance and chemical and low temperature strength, thus the demand for plastic compounding from the automotive sector is expected to rise in the near future.

Key Factors Impacting Market Growth:

  • Increasing demand for plastics by the packaging industry

  • Stringent government regulations

  • Increasing application in the automotive and electronics industry
