U.S. Thermoplastic Polyolefins Market size, by application, 2012-2023 (Kilo Tons)
Commercial & personal vehicle production was evaluated at 222.41 billion and 685.31 billion units respectively for 2015. Increasing automotive sector is projected to remain a driving force for increase in global demand for the product. Further, strict rules favouring rising vehicle fuel efficacy has encouraged industry players to minimize vehicle mass. Growing expenditure on construction in countries like Brazil, China and India may fuel product demand. India & China construction expenditure was more than $422 billion and $1.71 trillion respectively for 2015 which is predicted to contribute to enhanced demand of the product.
Rising trend towards substituting polyvinyl chloride(PVC) due to risks related to its application can promote thermoplastic polyolefins(TPO) demand. The growth of industry can be credited to exceptional properties of thermoplastic polyolefins like crystal clarity, design versatility, thermal stability, irritant potential, high resistance and no cytotoxicity. Further, polyolefins can be sterilised by ethylene oxide gas & gamma irradiation which makes them acceptable across medical applications.
Thermoplastic polyolefins provide good performance & light mass that makes them desirable over other substances. Current changes in CAFÉ(Corporate Average Fuel Economy)have forced producers to discover & innovate new techniques for enhancing fuel efficacy that can favour global thermoplastic polyolefins (TPO)market growth.
Application Insights
The industry is segmented into various applications like automotive applications, industrial applications, packaging applications and medical applications. Rising automotive segment produced revenue of more than $1.61 billion for 2015. Its growth in APAC and North America can propel industry expansion. Thermoplastic polyolefins are preferred more as compared to polymers & elastomers as they are light weighted and can be processed & designed with ease as well as easily recycled. Reduced mass helps in regulating carbon emissions and improves overall vehicle performance.
Industrial application is predicted to register CAGR of about 6.8% in terms of revenue during forecast timeframe and is predicted make highest profit. It was an important revenue contributor of the industry in past few years. Thermoplastic polyolefins are utilised in making roof tops for commercial and residential uses due to its solar radiation obstructing feature. Industrialisation at rapid pace in BRICS(Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa)countries can fuel demand for the product.
