Americas Plastic Compounding Market To Reach $23.88 Billion By 2030

Americas Plastic Compounding Market Growth & Trends

The Americas plastic compounding market size is expected to reach USD 23.88 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 4.7% during the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The shift in trend towards lightweight composites to lower vehicular weight and thereby foster fuel savings & lower carbon emission levels are anticipated to drive demand.

The increasing demand from major end-use industries such as automotive, electrical & electronics, packaging, construction, and consumer goods is expected to remain a key driving factor for market growth. Plastic compounds are rapidly replacing conventional materials such as wood, glass, and metals in various applications on account of their flexibility, lubricity, and increased strength & stiffness.

Favorable federal regulations by agencies such as National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHSTA) and California Air Resources Board (CARB) regarding carbon emissions along with the U.S. EPA initiatives to develop plastics compounds in lightweight & fuel-efficient cars are likely to augment the regional market’s growth.

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is expected to be the fastest-growing product segment owing to increasing usage in end-use industries such as packaging and electrical & electronics. Packaging is a dominant application market where PET compounds are utilized in large quantities for the production of bottles, particularly carbonated beverages, and nutritional drinks.
