Plastic Compounding is a process of forming new plastic materials with enhanced properties. The plastic is melt-blended and is customized with specific additives to achieve the required color, performance, and property. The process includes multiple stages such as determining the ratio of additives, mixing via twin-screw extruders at high speed, melt mixing, and cooling, pellet cutting, and packaging. Materials used in plastic compounding are Polyethylene, Polypropylene, Poly Vinyl Chloride, Polystyrene, Polyethylene Terephthalate, Poly-Butylene Terephthalate, Polyamide, Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene, and Others. Plastic compounding is used in different industries such as Packaging, Construction, Automotive, Healthcare, Electronics, and others.
Plastic Compounding market is expected to project a notable CAGR of 6.7% in 2032.
Increasing deployment of plastic components in place of metals and alloys in automobiles and growing infrastructure developments are promoting the growth of Plastic Compounding Market.
Polypropylene (PP) segment holds the largest market share
Plastic Compounding market is classified on the basis of type into Polyethylene (PE), Polypropylene (PP), Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC), Polystyrene (PS), Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), Poly-Butylene Terephthalate (PBT), Polyamide (PA), Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), and Others. Polypropylene (PP) segment is dominating the market with the largest market share. The growth is attributed to the huge demand in the automotive sector owing to the several properties of Polypropylene which helps in improving the fuel efficiency of vehicles.
