- Key Point Summary of the Lightweight Materials Market Report : –
In June 2021, Nexeo Plastics, which is a firm engaged in distribution of thermoplastic resins, made an announcement about entering an agreement with Covestro AG for distribution of Polycarbonate/ABS filament used in 3D printing. - Among the product type segments, the plastics segment accounted for largest revenue share in 2020. Rising awareness pertaining to deterioration of the ecosystem by GHG emissions and rising demand for Electric Vehicles (EVs) are factors fueling steady demand for plastics. Use of plastics in automotive and aircraft manufacturing aids in improving fuel efficiency and gives added design freedom and flexibility. Also, plastics find extensive use in the packaging industry as it enables reduced total weight of various packaged products.
- Among the application segments, aerospace segment revenue is expected to increase at a significant rate over the forecast period. Rising concerns regarding pollution caused by aircraft emission is resulting in continuous efforts by major players in the aviation industry to increase fuel efficiency by reducing aircraft weight through use of more lightweight materials in component manufacturing. Apart from aiding in reducing carbon footprint of the aviation industry, lightweight aircraft help to improve flight performance, offer higher structural strength and stiffness, and enable better acceleration.
- Market in Asia Pacific accounted for largest revenue share in 2020 and is expected to register fastest revenue CAGR over the forecast period. This can be attributed to high demand for lightweight materials from developing countries such as China and India. Increasing sales of vehicles, especially EVs, are key factors contributing significantly to revenue growth of the market in the region. In addition, presence of leading market players such as SABIC and Toray Industries is expected to boost demand for lightweight materials in Asia Pacific.
