Global Petrochemicals & Polymers Market | Forecast 2014-2020

1. Global Petrochemical Polymer Market Forecast 2014 – 2020 Occams Business Research & Consulting

2. INTRODUCTION Polymers are high weight molecules made of repeated chemical units called monomer. The property and the quality of a polymer depends upon the interaction bonds, additives and length of polymer chain. There are two types of polymers natural and synthetic polymers. Synthetic polymer also categorize in two category petro-based and bio-based polymer. Report focus on the petroleum based synthetic polymers. There are three main categories of petroleum based polymers Thermoplastic, thermosetting and elastomers. The thermoplastic is the largest segment of the synthetic polymers with 75% market share. 17% and 8% market is covered by the thermosetting and elastomers respectively.

10. Market Determinants –Drivers • Increasing Plastic consumption • Continuing demand for Essential Materials • Varied Application • Light weight • Significant lower cost as compared to its alternatives • Government Initiatives for plastic waste management OCCAMS BUSINESS RESEARCH & CONSULTING PVT. LTD. Source: OBRC Analysis

11. Market Determinants –Restraints • Restrictions on Plastic usage • The usage of plastic is banned or restricted to an extent in various countries due to disposal and recycling issues. • Environmental concerns • The polymers have property that they cannot degrade easily. On dumping of this type of materials it take years to decompose. • Limitations as engineering materials • The polymers have low strength relative to metals and ceramics. The polymers are also low on stiffness. The service temperature for polymers is limited to few hundred degrees Celsius. Low viscoelastic properties which limits the Load bearing capacity.

12. Market Determinants –Opportunities • Developing Economy • There is an increase in use of polymers in developing economies and manufacturing areas. As the demand for such products is increasing with the growth in economy and changing life style. • Sharp correction in global crude and petroleum product prices • Recently, there is sharp fall in crude oil prices, there is around one-third fall in prices of crude from there year high prices. This major correction is due to increase in production of the oil producing nations especially the OPEC countries. OCCAMS BUSINESS RESEARCH & CONSULTING PVT. LTD. Source: OBRC Analysis

13. Market Determinants –Challenges • Cost of high rigidity polymers • The special type of polymers which have special applications such as composite materials made of Fiber reinforced polymers which constitute of two or more materials with different physical or chemical properties. • Cost of technology • The cost of technology for specialized polymers is high which have varied applications and have potential to replace metals and ceramics to a large extent. However, with the increasing use of this technology the cost is expected to be significantly lower in the time to come OCCAMS BUSINESS RESEARCH & CONSULTING PVT. LTD. Source: OBRC Analysis
