全球塑膠市場在2022年達到5255億美元,預計到2030年將達到6760億美元,在2023-2030年的預測期內以3.2%的年復合成長率成長。全球塑膠市場最關鍵的新興應用之一是3D列印的崛起。許多製造商已經開始圍繞積層製造設計生產單元。
隨著新型塑膠複合材料在航空航太、生物醫學和汽車工程領域的應用越來越多,全球塑膠市場預計將見證先進技術行業的需求上升。例如,2022年11月,汽車製造商奧迪宣布,其Q8 e-tron電動汽車的安全帶扣將由再生塑膠製造。
全球市場可能發生的重大轉變之一,是擴大採用循環經濟。 2023年5月,聯合國(UN)發布了一份報告,目標是到2040年將全球塑膠污染減少80%。該報告指出,通過轉向循環經濟,估計可以節省1.2兆美元。
隨著全球人口的增加,對各種商品和服務的需求也在增加。城市化與人口成長密切相關,因為越來越多的人為了更好的機會和改善生活水平而遷往城市。收入水平的提高使發展中國家新出現的中產階級產生了對廉價和經濟消費品的需求。
塑膠在滿足這些需求方面發揮著關鍵作用,因為它們是現代消費品的主要材料。製造商通常使用塑膠而不是金屬,因為它們更具延展性、耐化學性和更容易加工。玩具、家庭用品、服裝和低價值家用電器是一些廣泛使用塑膠的主要消費品。
近年來,塑膠污染已大幅增加。聯合國環境規劃署(UNEP)估計,目前在海洋中發現了75-199萬噸的塑膠垃圾。此外,聯合國教科文組織估計,每年有近800萬至1000萬噸的塑膠最終進入海洋。人們越來越意識到塑膠垃圾對生態系統、海洋生物和人類健康的負面影響,這導致了消費者態度和政府法規的轉變。
全球各國政府正在實施解決塑膠污染的措施,包括禁止使用塑膠,限制一次性塑膠,以及促進回收和循環經濟的做法。例如,印度政府於2022年7月在全國範圍內禁止使用一次性塑膠。 2022年11月,中國公佈了到2025年徹底消除日常生活中各種塑膠製品的計劃。
這些行動旨在減少塑膠消費,鼓勵永續的替代品,並改善廢物管理。消費者的偏好也在發生變化,對生態友好型選擇和永續產品的需求越來越大。許多消費者現在積極尋求一次性塑膠的替代品,並優先考慮有環保意識的選擇。
COVID-19大流行病對全球塑膠市場的影響不一。起初,對某些塑膠產品的需求激增,如個人防護設備(PPE)、醫療用品和基本商品的包裝材料。為確保衛生和安全,對一次性用品的需求增加,暫時推動了塑膠市場的發展。
然而,這場大流行病也給塑膠行業帶來了挑戰。全球供應鏈的中斷、工廠停工和消費者支出的減少影響了非必需的塑膠產品的需求和生產。汽車、建築和消費品等行業經歷了大幅下滑,導致對塑膠的需求減少。
人工智慧(AI)對全球塑膠市場的影響將主要體現在製造技術的改進上。先進的機器學習算法可以最佳化製造工藝,減少塑膠垃圾,從而在一定程度上減輕塑膠污染的影響。
人工智慧在塑膠行業的另一個可能的應用是開發來自永續原料的新型生物塑膠。目前,由於能源使用量相對較高,商業生物塑膠的生產受到限制。人工智慧可以幫助修改和最佳化生產過程,使生物塑膠的大規模商業生產變得可行。
烏克蘭-俄羅斯戰爭和地緣政治緊張局勢間接影響了全球塑膠市場。衝突擾亂了某些全球供應鏈,尤其是石化原料,因為俄羅斯是一個重要的化工原料生產國。原料供應的中斷導致了歐洲市場的價格波動。此外,俄羅斯能源供應的中斷也導致了歐洲塑膠生產商的生產成本急劇上升。
目前的情況為亞洲生產商提供了一個擴大市場佔有率的理想機會。亞洲的塑膠生產商擁有一些最低的生產成本,並擁有龐大的生產能力。然而,出口量將主要取決於備用生產能力的利用率,因為大多數亞洲塑膠生產都用於滿足國內和區域需求。
Global Plastics Market reached US$ 525.5 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 676 billion by 2030, growing with a CAGR of 3.2% during the forecast period 2023-2030. One of the most critical emerging applications for the Global Plastics Market is the rise of 3D printing. Many manufacturers have started designing production units around additive manufacturing.
The Global Plastics Market is expected to witness rising demand from advanced technology industries as new plastic composite materials are increasingly utilized in aerospace, biomedical and automotive engineering fields. For instance, in November 2022, the automaker Audi announced that seatbelt buckles in its Q8 e-tron electric vehicle will be manufactured from recycled plastics.
One of the major shifts likely to occur in the global market, is the increased adoption of circular economy. In May 2023, the United Nations (UN) released a report targeting an 80% reduction in global plastic pollution by 2040. The report states that an estimated savings of US$ 1.2 trillion could be achieved through a switch to a circular economy.
As the global population increases, so does the demand for various goods and services. Urbanization is closely linked to population growth, as more people are moving to cities for better opportunities and improved living standards. Rising income levels have created a demand for cheap and economical consumer goods from the newly emerging middle class in developing countries.
Plastics play a crucial role in meeting these demands as they are the prime material used in modern consumer goods. Manufacturers typically use plastics instead of metals since they are more ductile, chemically resistant and easier to process. Toys, houseware items, clothing items, and low-value home appliances are some of the major consumer goods that extensively use plastics.
Plastic pollution has increased significantly in recent years. The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) estimates that 75-199 million tonnes of plastic waste is currently found in the oceans. Furthermore, UNESCO estimates that nearly 8-10 million tonnes of plastic ends up in the ocean annually. Increasing awareness of the negative impacts of plastic waste on ecosystems, marine life and human health has led to a shift in consumer attitudes and government regulations.
Governments globally are implementing measures to address plastic pollution, including plastic bans, restrictions on single-use plastics, and promoting recycling and circular economy practices. For instance, the Indian government banned single-use plastics nationwide in July 2022. In November 2022, China unveiled plans to eliminate various plastic items from daily life by 2025 completely.
The actions aim to reduce plastic consumption, encourage sustainable alternatives and improve waste management. Consumer preferences are also changing, with a growing demand for eco-friendly options and sustainable products. Many consumers now actively seek alternatives to single-use plastics and prioritize environmentally conscious choices.
The COVID-19 pandemic had a mixed impact on the global plastics market. Initially, there was a surge in demand for certain plastic products such as personal protective equipment (PPE), medical supplies and packaging materials for essential goods. The increased need for single-use items to ensure hygiene and safety temporarily boosted the plastics market.
However, the pandemic also presented challenges for the plastics industry. Disruptions in global supply chains, factory shutdowns and reduced consumer spending affected the demand and production of non-essential plastic products. Industries such as automotive, construction and consumer goods experienced a significant decline, leading to decreased demand for plastics.
The impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the Global Plastics Market will be mainly felt in improvements of manufacturing techniques. Advanced machine-learning algorithms can optimize manufacturing processes to reduce plastic waste, thereby mitigating the impact of plastic pollution to some extent.
Another possible application for AI in the plastics industry could be for the development of new bioplastics derived from sustainable feedstock. Currently, commercial bioplastic production is limited due to relatively high energy usage. AI can help to modify and optimize the production process to make large-scale commercial production of bioplastics viable.
The Ukraine-Russia war and geopolitical tensions indirectly affect the global plastics market. The conflict disrupted certain global supply chains, particularly for petrochemical feedstocks, as Russia is a significant producer of chemical raw materials. Disruptions in feedstock availability have led to price volatility in the European market. Furthermore, disrupting Russian energy supplies have also led to drastic increase in production costs for European plastic producers.
The current situation presents an ideal opportunity for Asian producers to expand their market share. Asian plastic producers have some of the lowest production costs and have large production capacity. However, volume of exports will mainly depend on spare production capacity utilization, since most Asian plastic production is used to meet domestic and regional demand.
The global plastics market is segmented based on type, end-user and region.
The growth of online shopping has created a surge in demand for packaging materials to protect and deliver goods to consumers worldwide. E-commerce packaging serves several purposes, including product protection, branding and customer experience.
Plastics are widely used in e-commerce packaging due to their durability, lightweight nature, versatility and cost-effectiveness. It offers advantages such as resistance to moisture, flexibility in design and the ability to incorporate branding elements.
Plastic packaging materials commonly used in e-commerce include polyethylene (PE) bags, bubble wraps, air pillows, shrink films and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles. The materials help safeguard products during transportation, reduce the risk of damage and enhance the overall customer experience. The growth of global e-commerce, especially in emerging countries, is expected to increase demand for plastic packaging articles further.
North America has a robust manufacturing base, advanced technologies and a strong focus on innovation. Although many manufacturing industries have been outsourced to Asia-Pacific, the region still retains significantly advanced manufacturing capabilities in the automotive, aerospace and defense industries.
The automotive industry is a major demand generator for the North American plastics market and has undergone dramatic changes in recent years. U.S. automakers are increasingly shifting to electric vehicle (EV) production on the back of government subsidies. For instance, in 2023, the U.S. government announced a US$ 5 billion discretionary grant for setting up electric vehicle infrastructure nationwide.
Many automakers, such as Tesla, GM and Ford, have launched electric vehicle models. Multinational automakers such as Volkswagen, BMW and Mercedes Benz are also launching new electric vehicles for the North American market. The demand for electric vehicles (EVs) and advanced technologies in the automotive sector presents further opportunities for using plastics in battery casings, interiors and exterior parts.
The defense industry is also generating demand for advanced plastics components, mainly due to the production expansion of combat and surveillance unmanned aerial vehicles to cater to export orders. For instance, in February 2023, India initiated talks with the U.S. to acquire 18 MQ-9B predator drones worth US$ 3 billion.
The major global players include: BASF SE, LyondellBasell Industries Holdings B.V., INEOS, SABIC, Borouge, Borealis AG, Reliance Industries Ltd, Braskem, Exxon Mobil Corporation and Formosa Plastics Corporation.
