Plastic Compounding Market Outlook - 2023

The global plastic compounding market was valued at $565,416.7 million in 2018 and is projected to reach $932,330.5 million by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 6.4% from 2019 to 2026.

Plastic compounding is a process of transforming the characteristics of basic plastics and thermoplastics using a mixture of plastics and additives. Plastic compounds have superior physical properties such as wide range of conductivity, flame retardancy, wear resistance, and are light weight. These properties increase their demand in various automotive, building and construction, packaging and electrical & electronics and thus boosting the growth of the global plastic compounding market.

Plastic compounds are widely used in the electronic and electrical industries for electromagnetic shielding and antistatic applications. In addition, they are replacing metal components in the automotive industry. This has helped in increasing car safety by reducing the total weight of the vehicle. Plastic compounding has also lowered the carbon emissions and increased fuel efficiency and performance of vehicles in the automotive industry which in turn boosts the growth of plastic compounding market.
