The global plastic compounding market was valued at $ 565,416.7 million in 2018 and is projected to reach $ 932,330.5 million by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 6.4% from 2019 to 2026. Plastic compounding consists of a process in which plastic formulations is prepared by mixing and blending polymers and additives in a molten state. These blends are mostly copolymers such as acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, with additives that include antioxidants, UV-stabilizers and other value adding agents. Rapid industrialization as well as urbanization have increased the disposable income of individuals. The demand for automobiles is on the rise owing to growth in disposable income. Due to light weight property of plastic compounds, its usage in production of light weight vehicles is increasing. In order to increase the fuel efficiency and lower the carbon emission of the vehicle, plastic compounding is significantly applied in automobile application.
However, factors such as rise in pricing of plastic compounds due to fluctuating petrochemical and crude oil prices, are expected to hamper the growth of the global plastic compounding market. Nevertheless, ongoing development in catalyst technologies is projected to increase the performance, customization and yield of polyethylene resins, which is anticipated to offer lucrative growth opportunities to the plastic compounding market.
The plastic compounding market is segmented based on polymer type, end use, and region. Depending on polymer type, the market is classified into polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polystyrene (PS) and expanded polystyrene (EPS), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyurethane (PU), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), and other polymers. Based on end use, it is segregated into automotive, building & construction, medical, packaging, electrical & electronics, and others. Based on region, it is analyzed across North America (U.S., Canada, and Mexico), Europe (Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, India, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, and rest of Asia-Pacific), and LAMEA (Brazil, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, and rest of LAMEA).
The major players operating in the plastic compounding industry include Asahi Kasei Corporation, BASF SE, Celanese Corporation, Covestro AG, DowDuPont Inc., Kingfa Sci. and Tech. Co., Ltd., LyondellBasell Industries Holdings B.V., Polyone Corporation, SABIC and Solvay. Other players operating in this market include Mexichem Specialty Compounds Inc., Coperion GmbH, Adell Plastics, Inc, Sojitz Corporation, and Polyvisions Inc. These major players are adopting different strategies such as acquisition, business expansion, and collaboration to stay competitive in the global market.

According to this report titled,'Plastic Compounding Market by Polymer Type and End Use: Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2019 - 2026,'the global market was valued at $565,416.7 million in 2018, and is projected to reach $932,330.5 million by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 6.4% from 2019 to 2026.
Plastic compounding is a process of preparing plastic formulations by blending polymers and additives in a molten state. These blends are automatically treated with fixed set points usually through feeders. It is usually a blend of copolymers such as styrene acrylonitrile resin (SAN), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), and styrene maleic anhydride (SMA) with additives such as UV-stabilizers, antioxidants and other value adding agents and sometimes strengthening component such as glass fiber, is added.
In addition, rapid industrialization as well as urbanization and expansion of automotive, electronics & electrical and construction industries are some of the key factors that supplement the growth of the plastic compounding market. Moreover, plastic is used in the construction sector in floorings, insulation materials, storage tanks, performance safety windows, doors, pipes, and cables. This factor has led to increase in demand for plastic compounds and is expected to drive the growth of the market. In addition, owing to the properties such as light weight, resistance to fatigue and better chemical and temperature resistance have led to increase in use of plastic compound in automobile and electronic and electrical industries. This factor is anticipated to increase the demand for plastic compounds in future.
Based on polymer type, the market is segmented into polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polystyrene (PS) and expanded polystyrene (EPS), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyurethane (PU), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), and other polymers. The polypropylene is widely used in automotive applications owing to the properties such as light weight, good fatigue resistance, and resistance to chemical and high temperature.
Based on end use, the market is segmented into automotive, building and construction, packaging, electrical & electronics, medical and others. The packaging segment is expected to grow owing to increase in expenditure of consumers and improvement in standard of living that has fueled the demand for packaged food & beverages across developing countries such as China and India. In addition, growing demand for automobiles across Asia-Pacific and European region has also increased the demand for plastic compounds in packaging of automotive interiors. These factors are projected to increase the plastic compounding market growth, which positively impacts this market.
Based on region, the plastic compounding market trends is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA. Asia-Pacific accounts for a major share in the market due to increase in demand for plastic compounds in the developing economies such as India and China, owing to development of the construction, automotive and electronic & electrical industries. This factor is anticipated to increase the Asia-Pacific plastic compounding market size from 2019 to 2026.
Key Findings of the Plastic Compounding Market:
Based on region, the Asia-Pacific plastic compounding market share is predicted to account for a share of 42.31% by the end of 2026.
Based on polymer type, the polypropylene segment is expected to account for a share of 23.29% by the end of 2026.
Market players have adopted expansion, acquisition, and collaboration as their key strategies to gain competitive advantage in the plastic compounding industry. The key players operating in the market include Asahi Kasei Corporation, BASF SE, Celanese Corporation, Covestro AG, DowDuPont Inc., Kingfa Sci. and Tech. Co., Ltd., LyondellBasell Industries Holdings B.V., Polyone Corporation, SABIC and Solvay SA
