The rotational molding materials market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.02 billion in 2024 to $3.22 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. Growth during the historic period can be attributed to the increasing demand for lightweight plastic products, rising usage in storage tanks and containers, expansion of the agriculture and construction sectors, lower production costs compared to other molding methods, and greater adoption in recreational and leisure products.
The rotational molding materials market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.12 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%. Growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the rising demand for custom designed molded products, rapid expansion of electric vehicle adoption, increasing need for lightweight components, global infrastructure development, advancements in recyclable and sustainable polymers, and growing demand for large scale industrial containers. Major trends expected during this period include a stronger focus on bioplastics in rotational molding, innovations in molding technologies, greater use of UV resistant and fire retardant materials, a shift toward smart and multi functional molded products, and an increasing preference for flexible short run and low volume production.
The growing demand for recycled materials is expected to drive the expansion of the rotational molding materials market in the future. Recycled materials are substances that have been processed from waste to create new products, reducing dependence on virgin resources and minimizing environmental impact. Increasing environmental awareness is prompting consumers and industries to opt for sustainable alternatives, thereby boosting the demand for recycled materials through more mindful purchasing decisions. Rotational molding materials support the demand for recycled materials by allowing the effective reuse of plastics in durable and versatile molded products. For example, in January 2024, Resource Recycling Inc., a US-based publishing and conference company, reported that the average use of recycled plastic in plastic projects increased from 10.2% in 2021 to 12% in 2022. Consequently, the growing demand for recycled materials is fueling the growth of the rotational molding materials market.
Leading companies in the rotational molding materials market are emphasizing technological advancements such as Irgatec CR technology, which boosts efficiency, durability, design flexibility, and sustainability. This technology enables the production of advanced meltblown nonwoven materials, addressing the growing needs for personal hygiene and filtration applications. For example, in September 2022, BASF SE, a Germany-based chemical company, introduced VALERAS, a new brand within its plastic additives portfolio aimed at providing sustainable solutions that enhance the durability, efficiency, and recyclability of plastics. A key innovation under this brand is a specialized Irgastab additive package designed specifically for polyethylene used in rotational molding. This solution not only extends the product’s lifespan in harsh outdoor conditions but also reduces processing time, energy usage, and overall production costs.
In November 2022, Tank Holding Corp., a US-based manufacturer known for producing rotationally molded polyethylene and welded steel bulk storage and material handling products, acquired Solar Plastics for an undisclosed sum. This strategic acquisition allows Tank Holding Corp. to broaden its operations and solidify its standing in the rotational molding sector. It also boosts the company’s manufacturing reach and production capacity, enabling it to manage larger volumes and meet increasing demand. Solar Plastics, a US-based company, specializes in designing and engineering custom rotationally molded plastic components.

Rotational molding materials refer to the specific types of plastics and polymers utilized in the rotational molding process, a manufacturing method that produces hollow and durable plastic products. In this process, powdered plastic material is placed inside a mold, which is then heated and rotated along two axes. As the mold turns, the material melts and evenly coats the interior surface to form a hollow item. These materials are selected based on the desired properties of the final product, such as strength, flexibility, resistance to ultraviolet light, and environmental durability.
The main types of rotational molding materials include virgin and recycled. Virgin material refers to a polymer that has not been previously used, recycled, or processed. Virgin resins are pure, high-quality polymers commonly used in producing rotationally molded products to ensure strong performance and durability. They are available in various material types such as polyethylene, polycarbonate, nylon, polyvinyl chloride, polyesters, polypropylene, and others. These materials are processed in forms such as powder and granules and are applied in areas including storage tanks, automotive parts, containers, toys and leisure products, material handling, industrial uses, and others. They serve a wide range of end-use industries including construction, automotive, agriculture, consumer products, chemicals, food and beverage, and more.
