ENGINEERING PLASTICS MARKET SIZE AND SHARE ANALYSIS - GROWTH TRENDS AND FORECASTS (2025-2032)

Global engineering plastics market is estimated to be valued at USD 126.13 Bn in 2025, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7% from 2025 to 2032. Engineering plastics are synthetic materials that have a combination of desirable properties that allow them to be used in engineering applications. These typically have physically tough characteristics like high strength, hardness, and resistance to heat as compared to commodity plastics. The key types of engineering plastics include polycarbonate (PC), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polyamide (PA), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). These materials are used widely in applications such as automotive components, electrical and electronic devices, consumer goods, industrial machinery, and construction.

 Market Dynamics

Global engineering plastics market growth is driven by  increasing consumption of engineering plastics in automotive and electrical & electronics industries. Engineering plastics offer advantages like high heat resistance, durability, and lower weight as compared to metals, and this makes them suitable for applications in automotive components. The exponential growth of the electrical & electronics industry along with miniaturization of devices has boosted demand for engineering plastics. However, volatility in raw material prices can hamper the market growth. Increasing concerns about non-biodegradability of plastics poses a challenge for the market growth. T Rising demand for bio-based and recycled engineering plastics to address sustainability issues can offer market growth opportunities.
