Opportunities in the global functional polymer market to reach $ 7.1 billion by 2023


According to a new market report published by Lucintel, the future in the global functional polymer market looks promising with opportunities in the packaging, electrical and electronics, automotive, construction, consumer goods, medical, industrial, and others industries. The global functional polymer market is expected to reach an estimated $7.1 billion by 2023 with a CAGR of 5.6% from 2018 to 2023. The major drivers for this market are increasing demand for packaging and growth in the electrical & electronics and consumer goods industries.

In this market, polyethylene, polyester, butadiene, and acrylic are the major polymers resins utilized for manufacturing functional polymer for different end use industries. On the basis of comprehensive research, Lucintel forecasts that the polyethylene segment will remain the largest polymer type by value and volume over the forecast due to growth in packaging, pipe & tank, and wire & cable market.

Within the global functional polymer market, packaging is expected to remain the largest end use industry and witness the highest growth in the forecast period due to its ability to provide product appearance, scratch resistance, and adhesion properties.

Asia Pacific is expected to remain the largest region by value and volume; it is also expected to witness the highest growth over the forecast period due to increasing automotive production and growth in construction, electrical & electronics and consumer goods industry.

An emerging trend, which has a direct impact on the dynamics of the industry, include increasing demand of functional polymers in stretchable and printable electronics applications. Evonik, DowDuPont, BASF, Toyobo, Showa Denko, Tosoh, Adeka, Solvey and Nikki Forn are among the major suppliers of the global functional polymer market.
