In 2022, the plastics industry in the United States was expected to generate $87.93 billion in revenue. The country's dominant market share can be due to its advanced automotive, aerospace and defence, and electronics manufacturing sectors. The country has a stable economy and a strong financial industry, and the risk level there is low. Many investors have found favourable conditions in recent years, and this bodes well for infrastructure development in the country. The need for plastics in the U.S. building industry is expected to increase as a result of this. Federal governments are feeling pressure to expand construction spending to meet rising infrastructure demands from a growing population and fast urbanisation and industrialization in emerging economies. Government investment on building is expected to increase, which will boost demand for plastic used in infrastructure and construction, especially in China and India.
Plastics, often called polymers, are employed in the production of everything from paper clips to spaceships due to their low cost, ease of production, malleability, light weight, durability, and resistance to water and other liquids. They are often made from coal, oil, or gas. Due to diminishing supplies, producers have been turning to alternative materials for polymers. Bioplastics are synthetic materials made from renewable biomass resources such maize starch, sawdust, vegetable fats and oil, and even food scraps. As more people learn about the damage polymers make to the environment, they want recyclable goods. The industry is being propelled by the rising need for effective plastic packaging to safeguard goods.
The rising global fad for processed foods, platters, milk and fruit juice containers, crates, barrels, and various other water-based food packs is expected to boost demand for polyethylene. To keep up with the expanding demand for homes and public buildings, the provincial governments of many countries have been forced to increase their infrastructure footprint. This might be helpful in creating several chances for the plastics industry.
Food and beverage, consumer goods, automotive, and electrical and electronic device manufacturing are just a few of the many sectors seeing increased product demand. Global product consumption is being pushed forward by the food and beverage industry's rising demand for packaging material. The use of packaging that prevents spoilage and cross-contamination is highly valued by the food industry. Plastic's protective qualities against spoilage are a major factor driving this market. Moreover, polymers' resistance to physical stress and exceptional durability are expanding their use in fields as diverse as sports, fashion, polymer clay, and toy production. They can be formed effortlessly, allowing for the creation of containers of varying sizes and shapes. Their increased elasticity, longevity, and aesthetic appeal make them increasingly desirable in the textile industry. Further, polymers are useful for packing automotive and electrical spare components due to their hard structure. Therefore, the expanding use of plastics in the food and beverage, textile, electrical and electronics, automotive, and consumer goods sectors is contributing to the sector's expansion.
The rate of market expansion is likely to be impacted by regulations concerning product usage. In light of rising worries over the damage caused by polymers to the environment, the government has enacted stringent laws and other policies. Many businesses and governments are switching to plastic-free or more environmentally friendly options in an effort to lessen their environmental impact. For instance, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) launched a Clean Seas campaign in more than 50 countries in 2017 to lobby for legislation to limit plastic use, lobby businesses to use less plastic packaging, and reform consumer goods. Furthermore, many nations, like India, have pledged to phase out the production and sale of single-use plastics entirely by 2022. The trend away from polymer items and the rise of anti-plastic conventions are both factors that slow the expansion of the market. In addition, a historic resolution to eliminate plastic trash and construct an international legally binding accord by the end of 2024 was supported by heads of state, environment ministers, and other delegates from 175 nations in March 2022 at the UN Environment Assembly held in Nairobi.
