Plastics Market Research Reports

The plastic material is a synthetic or semi-synthetic organic solid which are moldable and normally obtained from petrochemicals. The plastics contain organic polymers. The plastics are classified as acrylics, polyesters, silicones, polyurethanes, halogenated plastics, condensation, polyaddition, cross-linking. Also, the Plastics are categorized on the basis of its various physical properties, such as density, tensile strength, glass transition temperature, and resistance to various chemical products. The plastic products are replaced by many traditional materials such as wood, stone, horn and bone, leather, paper, metal, glass, and ceramic.

The global plastics market is driven by several reasons such as low cost, ease of manufacture, electricity and light conductivity, increased consumption, consumer trends and insights, technology advancements, user-friendly and lightweight, healthier and better lifestyles, increase in disposable incomes, urbanization, etc.
