Industry Insights

[223+ Pages Report] According to Facts and Factors, the global Polycarbonate Resins market size was valued at USD 15.2 billion in 2021 and is predicted to increase at a CAGR of 3.9% to USD 19.1 billion by 2028. The study examines the market in terms of revenue in each of the major regions, which are classified into countries.

Market Overview

Polycarbonate Resins are high-performance thermoplastic polymers that are also light in nature. These have great electric and thermal resistance along with other characteristics such as dimensional stability, optical clarity, and high toughness. The use of these Polycarbonate Resins is high due to the rising demand for lightweight yet string components in multiple industrial applications. Increasing use in consumer electronics, electrical component manufacturing, and automotive manufacturing are major applications that are driving the Polycarbonate Resins market growth and will continue to do so over the forecast period as well.

Increasing demand for eco-friendly products and rising plastic consumption are major factors that will help Polycarbonate Resins manufacturers expand their business scope over the coming years. Increasing demand for smart and eco-friendly materials in the building and construction industries will also favor the Polycarbonate Resins market growth through 2028. Increasing health awareness and the carcinogenic effects associated with the use of Polycarbonate Resins are expected to have a hampering effect on the global Polycarbonate Resins market potential over the forecast period. 

Impact of COVID - 19

The COVID-19 pandemic led to a downfall in the Polycarbonate Resins market and incurred losses for multiple Polycarbonate Resins manufacturers. The world witnessed lockdowns across multiple nations to control the spread of coronavirus infections and this led to a substantial change in industrial activity on a global scale. Shuttering of multiple manufacturing facilities and slow down of the industrial sector majorly led to a drop in demand for Polycarbonate Resins in 2020. Shortage of raw materials, shuttering of multiple industrial facilities and manufacturing facilities, lapses in logistics, etc., were factors that further made it difficult for the Polycarbonate Resins companies to run their business efficiently in 2020. The Polycarbonate Resins market is expected to make a good recovery in the post-pandemic era as the world returns to normal and manufacturing activity resumes to drive the Polycarbonate Resins market potential over the forecast period with high demand from multiple end-use industries.
