Commodity Plastics Industry: Properties, Uses, and Regulations| MarketsandMarkets™

Commodity plastics are a type of plastic that is used for a wide variety of applications. They are typically made from low-cost petrochemicals and are commonly used in items such as packaging, bottles, and containers. Commodity plastics are a vital part of many industries and have a wide range of applications due to their low cost, durability, and versatility. The demand for commodity plastics has been on the rise in recent years due to the growing need for packaging, containers, and other products. This increase in demand is driven by the rise of e-commerce, the need for more convenient packaging solutions, and the increasing demand for single-use plastics, such as those used for food packaging. Additionally, the rise of the circular economy is driving the need for more sustainable and recyclable commodities, such as bioplastics.

The global commodity plastics market size is projected to grow from USD 468.3 billion in 2020 to USD 596.1 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 6.0% between 2020 and 2025, according to a new report by MarketsandMarkets™.

Packaging plays a vital role in keeping the product fresh, damage-proof, and acts as an efficient marketing tool. The most common commodity plastics are polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polystyrene (PS), and poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) are also considered commodity plastics. These plastics are increasingly replacing metals due to their high tensile strength, low cost, high availability, and easy processing properties.

In terms of value, the PE segment is projected to account for the largest share of the commodity plastics, by type, during the forecast period.

The PE segment is expected to account for the largest share of the commodity plastics, by type, during the forecast period. This is mainly due to the wide range of applications of PE in various industries, such as construction, automotive, and packaging. Furthermore, the increasing demand for PE in the medical sector is driving the growth of the PE segment. Additionally, the increasing demand for PE from agriculture and the food & beverage sector is expected to contribute to the growth of the segment. Moreover, the growing demand for PE from the consumer electronics sector is also projected to propel the growth of the segment.

The packaging industry is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

The packaging industry in the commodity plastics market is expected to remain the fastest-growing sector of the global commodity plastics market. The growth of this segment can be attributed to the increased use of plastics in food, beverage, consumer goods, and medical packaging applications.
