Engineering plastics are generally used to manufacture mechanical parts, containers and packaging substances. They are extensively utilized as a preferred alternative to metal and ceramics due to their lightweight property. Additionally, they provide excellent load capacity, mechanical strength, thermal stability and durability while offering designing flexibility. Some of the commonly used engineering plastics variants include polyamides (PA), polycarbonates (PC), nylon 6, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and polysulphone (PSU). They are widely utilized in the manufacturing of car bumpers, dashboard trims, ski boots, helmets and optical discs across multiple sectors.

Engineering Plastics Market Trends:
The global market is primarily driven by the rising preference for lightweight automobiles among the masses. Along with this, the widespread adoption of engineering plastic in the production of several vehicle components is providing an impetus to the market growth across the globe. Moreover, increasing investments by private and public agencies in infrastructural development projects have led to the rising utilization of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipes for water supply systems, which is providing a boost to the uptake of engineering plastics. These plastics are also extensively used across the healthcare industry for packaging medical equipment and manufacturing medical implants, which is catalyzing the market growth across the globe. Furthermore, the rising usage of engineering plastics for manufacturing consumer electronics is acting as another major growth-inducing factor on the global level. Some of the other factors contributing to the market growth include continual product innovations and extensive research and development (R&D) activities conducted by key players.
