全球塑料市场在2022年达到5255亿美元,预计到2030年将达到6760亿美元,在2023-2030年的预测期内以3.2%的年复合增长率增长。全球塑料市场最关键的新兴应用之一是3D打印的崛起。许多制造商已经开始围绕增材制造设计生产单元。
随着新型塑料复合材料在航空航天、生物医学和汽车工程领域的应用越来越多,全球塑料市场预计将见证先进技术行业的需求上升。例如,2022年11月,汽车制造商奥迪宣布,其Q8 e-tron电动汽车的安全带扣将由再生塑料制造。
全球市场可能发生的重大转变之一,是越来越多地采用循环经济。2023年5月,联合国(UN)发布了一份报告,目标是到2040年将全球塑料污染减少80%。该报告指出,通过转向循环经济,估计可以节省1.2万亿美元。
随着全球人口的增加,对各种商品和服务的需求也在增加。城市化与人口增长密切相关,因为越来越多的人为了更好的机会和改善生活水平而迁往城市。收入水平的提高使发展中国家新出现的中产阶级产生了对廉价和经济消费品的需求。
塑料在满足这些需求方面发挥着关键作用,因为它们是现代消费品的主要材料。制造商通常使用塑料而不是金属,因为它们更具延展性、耐化学性和更容易加工。玩具、家庭用品、服装和低价值家用电器是一些广泛使用塑料的主要消费品。
近年来,塑料污染已大幅增加。联合国环境规划署(UNEP)估计,目前在海洋中发现了75-199万吨的塑料垃圾。此外,联合国教科文组织估计,每年有近800万至1000万吨的塑料最终进入海洋。人们越来越意识到塑料垃圾对生态系统、海洋生物和人类健康的负面影响,这导致了消费者态度和政府法规的转变。
全球各国政府正在实施解决塑料污染的措施,包括禁止使用塑料,限制一次性塑料,以及促进回收和循环经济的做法。例如,印度政府于2022年7月在全国范围内禁止使用一次性塑料。2022年11月,中国公布了到2025年彻底消除日常生活中各种塑料制品的计划。
这些行动旨在减少塑料消费,鼓励可持续的替代品,并改善废物管理。消费者的偏好也在发生变化,对生态友好型选择和可持续产品的需求越来越大。许多消费者现在积极寻求一次性塑料的替代品,并优先考虑有环保意识的选择。
COVID-19大流行病对全球塑料市场的影响不一。起初,对某些塑料产品的需求激增,如个人防护设备(PPE)、医疗用品和基本商品的包装材料。为确保卫生和安全,对一次性用品的需求增加,暂时推动了塑料市场的发展。
然而,这场大流行病也给塑料行业带来了挑战。全球供应链的中断、工厂停工和消费者支出的减少影响了非必需的塑料产品的需求和生产。汽车、建筑和消费品等行业经历了大幅下滑,导致对塑料的需求减少。
人工智能(AI)对全球塑料市场的影响将主要体现在制造技术的改进上。先进的机器学习算法可以优化制造工艺,减少塑料垃圾,从而在一定程度上减轻塑料污染的影响。
人工智能在塑料行业的另一个可能的应用是开发来自可持续原料的新型生物塑料。目前,由于能源使用量相对较高,商业生物塑料的生产受到限制。人工智能可以帮助修改和优化生产过程,使生物塑料的大规模商业生产变得可行。
乌克兰-俄罗斯战争和地缘政治紧张局势间接影响了全球塑料市场。冲突扰乱了某些全球供应链,尤其是石化原料,因为俄罗斯是一个重要的化工原料生产国。原料供应的中断导致了欧洲市场的价格波动。此外,俄罗斯能源供应的中断也导致了欧洲塑料生产商的生产成本急剧上升。
目前的情况为亚洲生产商提供了一个扩大市场份额的理想机会。亚洲的塑料生产商拥有一些最低的生产成本,并拥有庞大的生产能力。然而,出口量将主要取决于备用生产能力的利用率,因为大多数亚洲塑料生产都用于满足国内和区域需求。
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.
