The global engineering thermoplastic market is expected to rise from US$ 246 billion in 2020 to US$ 464 billion in 2031, with demand for engineering thermoplastics growing at a CAGR of almost 6%. The plastics industry contributes significantly to regional economic development and growth in a variety of vital industries.
Engineering thermoplastics will account for about 20% of the global plastic market by 2020. Because their chemically independent macromolecules have the simplest molecular structure, engineering thermoplastics remain the most sought-after material. Demand for high-performance engineering thermoplastics is predicted to increase in the coming years, as is demand for amorphous engineering thermoplastics and engineering thermoplastic polymers.
