The Global Engineering Plastics Market size is expected to reach $163.4 billion by 2030, rising at a market growth of 5.7% CAGR during the forecast period. In the year 2022, the market attained a volume of 35,419.9 kilo tonnes, experiencing a growth of 2.9% (2019-2022).
The use of engineering plastics in consumer appliances can lead to products that are more durable, versatile, and cost-effective, ultimately benefiting both manufacturers and consumers. Thus, the Consumer Appliances segment acquired $23,191.3 million in 2022. As disposable incomes rise, consumers are more willing to invest in appliances that offer convenience, efficiency, and improved quality of life.
Ongoing technological advancements in the processing technologies of engineering plastics are expanding their application scope. Significant progress has been made in injection molding, a widely utilized manufacturing process to manufacture plastic parts. Therefore, these technological advancements are propelling the growth of the market.
Additionally, it offers excellent electrical insulation properties, making them highly suitable for various applications in this sector. Components such as connectors, switches, and housings require materials that effectively insulate against electrical current and prevent short circuits. As a result, engineering plastics manufacturers will likely see increased demand for their products in the E&E.
However, the cost disparity arises from several factors inherent to engineering plastics. Firstly, the raw materials used in engineering plastics, such as high-quality polymers and specialized additives, are often more expensive than those used in traditional plastics. This, in turn, slows down the market's growth.
