The strong demand from the automotive industry: The strong demand from the automotive industry is due to the upsurge in disposable income worldwide, mainly in APAC. Further, polycarbonate plastic is progressively substituting standard glass and other conventional elastomers in automotive applications. Moreover, polycarbonate plastic in the automotive industry contains lighting applications (for cars, trucks, buses, and motorcycles) like headlamp lenses, bezels, and light housings. Apart from this, polycarbonate is rapidly replacing metal across automotive applications to develop lightweight vehicles. Hence, the growing demand for lightweight cars is anticipated to propel the market growth during the forthcoming year. The high performance, durability, and sustainability of thermoplastics' rising use in the pharmaceutical, food, and beverage industry for producing food storage containers, water bottles, dialysis, and respiratory devices are helping to drive market growth. Moreover, the increasing demand for polycarbonate sheets in the production of electronic & electrical goods and the development & growth of various end-use verticals in emerging economies are also propelling the market growth.
The strict regulations associated with the production of polycarbonates: The increasing environmental problems as these polymers are difficult to recycle, which can harm aquatic and terrestrial life in the environment, are expected to hamper the market growth. Moreover, the safety issues and the high prices associated with the metals inhibit market growth. Additionally, the accumulation of plastic on land can pollute the soil and water, which is expected to hinder market growth.
The raised demand for roofing systems: The growing demand for bio-based polycarbonate due to rising environmental concerns is the opportunity factor of the market growth. Moreover, the increasing utilization of polycarbonate in the packaging of baby bottles, garden equipment, furniture, water dispensers, and sporting products is helping to boost the market growth during the forecast period. Also, the growing need for billboards and ID card printing is driving the market growth. Further, the rising government spending on R&D and ever-increasing industrialization, especially in developing countries, is anticipated to drive market growth.
