Global Polycarbonate Market Outlook to 2027
Polycarbonate is a thermoplastic material that is commonly used polymer due to its greater mechanical, chemical, and physical properties. Growing demand from the electronics & electrical industry due to its electric and heat insulation coupled with flame retardant properties drives the market for Polycarbonate. Replacement of bisphenol A with glucose derivatives in the production of polycarbonate is also expected to drive the market.
In terms of production and consumption of polycarbonate, the Asia-Pacific region was found to be dominating the market globally owing to the huge presence of end-user industries in the region.
The global market for polycarbonate is highly consolidated with the top 5 manufacturers accounting for about 75% of the market share. In 2019, the major players in the market were Covestro AG, SABIC, Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation, Lotte Chemical Corporation, and Teijin Limited among others.
In April 2020, SABIC provided produced plastic products to be used in the manufacture and donation of vital medical equipment in the Americas region. This included the production of face shields using SABIC’s LEXAN polycarbonate sheets.
In January 2020, Covestro closed the sale of European polycarbonates sheets business to Serafin. This includes key management and sales functions throughout Europe along with production sites in Belgium and Italy. In 2018, this segment generated about EUR 130 million in sales.
