According to The Verge, the demand for affordable consumer electronic products, such as laptops, mobile, modems, etc. has increased majorly through e-commerce websites. Rising usage of consumer electronics has propelled the demand for recycled plastics in electrical electronics and packaging applications, which is expected to boost the market growth. The global plastics market is likely to be driven by the increasing consumption of plastics in construction, automotive, medical devices, and electrical electronics industries. Regulatory intervention to reduce the gross vehicle weight to improve fuel efficiency and ultimately reduce carbon emissions has driven automotive Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to use plastic as a substitute for metals, such as steel and aluminum, for fabricating automotive components.
Moreover, the growth of the construction industry in emerging economies, such as Brazil, China, India, and Mexico, is expected to drive the product demand in the manufacturing of components, such as insulation, fixtures, structural lumber, windows, and fences, over the forecast period. High product consumption in the building construction sector is credited to increased foreign investments in these countries due to supportive FDI norms requirements for the redevelopment of public industrial infrastructure. However, the COVID-19 pandemic severely affected the manufacturing industries in 2020, which further affected the demand for plastics.
