Increasing Demand from the Building and Construction Sector to Bolster the Growth of the Plastic Fillers Industry
Based on application, the building and construction segment accounts for a significant share in the market owing to the increasing utilisation of plastic fillers in composites and concrete to improve binding between polymer matrix. The rising infrastructure investments is likely to propel the market growth in the forecast period. Meanwhile, the electrical and electronic industry and the automotive sector are anticipated to hold a significant share in the market. This can be attributed to the increasing demand for plastic fillers in the production of electric cars, robotic equipment, and others. Meanwhile, the packaging sector accounts for a considerable share in the market. This segment is significantly influenced by the shift in choice of substrates among manufacturers, expansion of new markets, and changing ownership dynamics.
The Asia-Pacific to Boost the Demand for Plastic Fillers in the Forecast Period
The Asia-Pacific accounts for a significant share in the market and is likely to remain dominant in the forecast period as well. This rising population has accelerated the demand for residential houses and improved infrastructure in the region, which, in turn, is expected to drive the demand for plastic fillers in the construction industry. Furthermore, the market in the region is anticipated to be propelled by the rising demand for plastic filler in countries like China, Japan, South Korea, and India, owing to their significant economic growth, and increasing product demand in downstream markets, including packaging, electrical and electronics, and others.Plastic Fillers: Market Segmentation
Plastic filler is defined as a particulate material that is added to polymers to reduce cost. Adding a filler makes the product cheaper and enhances specific properties of the polymer. Plastic fillers are usually added to the polymers such as polyolefin, polyvinyl chloride, rubber, and elastomers.Breakup by Type

The rising awareness among consumers about the importance of plastic fillers in the cost-reduction of a polymer is driving the market growth. Further, the market will be accelerated by the increasing investments in infrastructure projects and the rising construction programmes, as the construction industry is one of the major application sectors of the product. However, the flat growth of the manufacturing and construction sectors in the peak COVID-19 period significantly hampered the market growth. But, the increasing demand for residential buildings in the post-COVID era, with the rising global population, is likely to compensate for the market decline. This is expected to aid the industry growth in the forecast period.
