NEW YORK, September 24, 2019 (Newswire.com) - Polycarbonates are a group of transparent amorphous polymer which allows ease of processing and can be easily molded or thermoformed. These materials find application in a variety of products that demand high impact resistance, high-temperature resistance, and optical transparency.
Escalating use of polycarbonates in the electrical & electronics industry is one of the most significant factors contributing to the growth of the market. In this industry, these materials are used in various applications which comprise household appliances like TV’s, power housing, connectors, and battery boxes.
Increasing use of polycarbonates in automotive applications is expected to drive the market in the forecast period. Of the various types of polycarbonates, the extruded sheet has the highest rate of consumption. The materials are deployed in the production of several automotive parts, including headlights, displaced glass, airbag covers, consoles, sunroofs, air vents, and small window panes, among others. The windows and windscreens offer the highest growth opportunities for the market players in the upcoming years. The high impact resistance, high-temperature resistance, and optical transparency of these materials makes them an essential constituent in advanced automotive lighting applications, comprising headlamp lenses, headlamp bezels, and light guides.
Polycarbonates are extensively used in construction products comprising windows and skylights to wall panels and roof domes to exterior elements for LED lighting owing to their several important characteristics including high impact resistance, and high flammability resistance among others.
A high capital requirement, as well as the availability of the substitute products, may create hindrances in the growth of the market in the forecast period.
The global polycarbonate market is expected to reach USD 28.77 Billion by 2026, according to a new report by Reports and Data.
