Drivers

Improved Mechanical Properties 

• The rising mechanical properties may increase the demand for the engineering plastics market. The rising mechanical qualities of engineering plastics enhance their strength and durability and resistance to wear and tear. Hence, industries such as automotive, aerospace, electronics, manufacturing, building & construction, consumer goods & appliances, and industrial and pharmaceutical majorly look for the materials that can enhance the mechanical properties.  

Shock Resistance Boosting Demand in Varied Industries 

• Having a low risk of shock engineering plastics is expected to drive the market for engineering plastics. Various end use industries including transportation, automotive, electronic, led to the development of low risk of shock engineering plastics. Moreover, the extensive use of low risk of shock engineering plastics which have shock resistance has many benefits. The ability for engineering plastics when shocks are applied extends the durability of the products made from such plastics, so the cost of maintenance is reduced.  

Restraints 

Negative Impact on Environment  

• Although engineering plastics have some advantages over other types of materials due to lightweight design and recycling, a particular formulation may still be harmful to the environment. Not all engineering plastics can be easily recycled or naturally biodegradable, and the fact that they contain some chemicals to enhance some characteristics, or the processing makes them an ecological threat. It is still critical to balance the benefits and environmental effects.  

High Cost of Production  

• One of the most substantial restraints on the growth of the global engineering plastics market is the high manufacturing cost. It includes sophisticated production processes and units with strictly environmentally controlled premises. Both these factors require huge capital investments for new modern plants and equipment. Moreover, the expenses for various certificates of compliance in different countries in terms of safety and environment legislation can also condition the mounting manufacturing cost.
