Polycarbonate is an amorphous, tough, and transparent thermoplastic polymer with excellent dimensional stability, which is used for a diverse range of applications, such as in manufacturing headlamp lenses, electrical components, safety helmets, and compact discs. Polycarbonate sheets are lightweight, heat resistant, and have good light transmitting capacity along with unbreakable nature. The growing use of polycarbonate materials in automotive, electronics, and packaging industries for various applications, such as for manufacturing headlamp lenses, electrical household appliances, and power tools, are significant factors contributing to the market growth. The increasing use of polycarbonate materials as 3D printing filament is the primary factor fueling the demand for polycarbonate products. However, the high cost of raw materials associated with manufacturing polycarbonate products is a concerning factor for the market. The susceptibility issues of scratching, marring, and yellowing tendency post-exposure to UV limit the adoption of polycarbonate products. Moreover, the technological advancements in polycarbonate products used for electrical & electronics applications and rising adoption in medical device manufacturing expand the scope for market growth.
