North America Polyolefin And Engineering Plastic Compounding Market To Reach $20.37 Billion By 2030

North America Polyolefin And Engineering Plastic Compounding Market Growth & Trends

The North America polyolefin and engineering plastic compounding market size is anticipated to reach USD 20.37 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 6.6% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Growing demand for polyolefins and engineering plastic compounds in automotive industry is driving the growth of the market.

Lightweight and high-strength composite parts are the major applications where polyolefin and engineering plastics, such as polypropylene compounds (in the form of sheets), are used as moisture and air barrier membranes. Polyolefin and engineering plastics are extensively used for developing various products from piping to industrial adhesives. The rising demand for safe, lightweight, and inexpensive sport-utility vehicles (SUVs)/multi-utility vehicles (MUVs) is expanding the application scope of polyolefins in the automotive industry, due to the high fuel efficiency, comfort, and aesthetics offered by them. The soft-touch and odor-free nature of these compounds allows for better handles, steering wheels, and vehicle interiors.

The presence of stringent regulations promoting recyclability and the depletion of conventional sources, such as wood and metals, is expected to drive the consumption of polyolefin & engineering plastic compounding in the construction industry. Polyolefin & engineering plastic compounding are highly durable and cost-effective. They save energy owing to their lower heat consumption compared to metals, and therefore, are used in various applications in the construction industry.
