GROWTH IN PREFERANCE OF POLYCARBONATES
Polycarbonate resins are tough thermoplastics produced by the reaction between Bisphenol A (BPA) and phosgene gas. Polycarbonate is an amorphous, ductile and transparent polymer with high tolerance to extreme temperatures. The UV resistance and chemical resistance makes it suitable for a variety of applications. Owing to the aforementioned characteristics, along with its transparency and light-weight features, it is used in various industrial and commercial sectors for tail, back-up, and fog lights, along with aesthetically appealing components in the automotive & transportation sector.
With the growing demand for polycarbonates, companies are developing products which can be used for new applications. Polycarbonate manufacturing companies, such as BASF, DowDuPont and Bayer, are consistently engaged in R&D activities to develop products that are environment-friendly and comply with regulations. Furthermore, they have been investing in developing new technologies to continually enhance their competitive advantage in the industry.
Asia-Pacific Dominates the Market
Asia-Pacific has the highest share in the market, accounting for nearly 61% of the global market share in 2017. The increase in income among the middle-class population is increasing the demand for electronic components and automobiles in the Asia-Pacific, in turn making the region an area of immense potential and opportunities for the polycarbonate market.
