Market Dynamics
Driver
Increasing demand for plastic products
Increased demand for plastic products helps the growth of the market. There are many benefits of plastic products’ strong weatherability because of their ability to achieve tight seals. Good safety and hygiene properties for food packaging. Lightweight with a high strength to weight ratio than the other materials, which makes it easy for transportation. Thermally and electrically insulating, secure, very versatile, very durable, different textures are possible, hygienic, shatter resistant, non-biodegradable, resistant to chemicals, hardness, permeability, transparency, stability, recyclability, reactivity, solubility, flammability, safety, and inexpensive properties are helpful for the growth of the market. Applications of plastic compounding in toys, electronics, automotive, construction, textiles, packaging, medical devices, etc. These factors help to the growth of the plastic compounding market.
Restraint
Adverse health effects and challenges
Adverse effects of plastic compounding include endocrine disruption, which may lead to birth defects, cancers, developmental problems, and immune system suppression problems in children. Carcinogens, as in the case of DEHP (diethyl hexyl phthalate), and direct toxicity, as in cases of mercury, lead, and cadmium. It also includes agrochemical microplastics, which may be hazardous to health and the environment. Due to the difference in filling pattern and melt profile of individual alloys, plastic compounding has a downside. This may lead to cosmetic defects. Challenges in plastic compounding include equipment costs, environmental concerns, and quality control. Advanced plastic compounding equipment may be expensive, environmental concerns regarding toxicity and biodegradability, and inconsistent mixing may lead to a reduction in product performance, and achieving uniformity in plastic compounding is necessary. These factors may restrict the growth of the plastic compounding market.
