COVID-19 impact on global polycarbonate sheets market
The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the polycarbonate sheets market. The outbreak had distorted operational efficiency and disrupted the value chains due to the sudden shutdown of national and international boundaries, which created revenue loss and damage. The disruptions in the production and supply chain had a negative impact on the polycarbonate sheets market. The implementation of lockdown in various countries along with travel restrictions lessened the global supply of products along with a reduced logistic operation.
Construction activities were completely shut down initially but in third quarter of 2020, these activities were granted permission to operate with COVID-19 operational measures. Availability of workforce and raw material supply & prices are the biggest challenges in the industry after unlocking. Raw material sector have been adversely impacted due to pandemic, which is expected to decline the growth of polycarbonate sheets market.
Polycarbonate Sheets Market Dynamics
Driver: Increase in demand for polycarbonate sheets from various end-use industries
The increasing demand from end-use industries is driving the global polycarbonate sheets market owing to their exceptional physical and chemical properties. In addition, the versatile characteristics of this material such, as its resistance to temperatures, high flexibility, durability, strength, and ease to fit without cracking, will boost the market demand for polycarbonate sheets over the period.
These sheets come in a variety of thicknesses and grades. Compared, to glass they are much lighter in weight, durable and resistant to breakage and cracks. Polycarbonates are used, in several applications such as window glazing, skylights, riot shields, medical equipment, food processing, and exhibits & displays, as they can be easily shaped, and thermoformed. Polycarbonate sheets are well-known for their strong impact resistance and durability. With strong insulating capabilities and high-quality UV protection, polycarbonates sheets are the ideal approach to enhance living spaces, both outdoors and indoors.
Restraint: Environmental impacts of polycarbonate sheets
One of the most common plastics in use is polycarbonate due to its flexibility across a wide range of industries, as well as it’s durability. However, they are not very environmentally-friendly as they contain bisphenol A. BPA is bisphenol-A which is a chemical used in plastics and resin and has traditionally been a concern for some, due to its presence in plastics used for food & beverages. The concern is that there is a chance of toxicity affecting the products from the containers that they are stored in. This includes cans and bottles or food containers, plates and baby bottles.
Accidental disposal of polycarbonate sheet waste in riverbeds or the sea is a major threat to aquatic life. The Resin Identification Code (RIC) code of polycarbonate materials is 7, which implies that these materials are difficult to recycle. Moreover, recycled polycarbonate sheets show a lower impact resistance compared to newly manufactured polycarbonate sheets.
Opportunity: Rise in demand for billboards and ID card printing
The manufacturing and fabrication of glow signboards and ID cards underwent technological advancements. The demand for polycarbonate sheets for ID cards printing is increasing because the sheet is particularly resistant to scratches, has high stability, is long-lasting, and is durable. Polycarbonate is becoming a more common choice in many countries throughout the world as it improves the security of ID cards. A variety of plastics, including polycarbonate sheets, are used to make these ID cards. Because of the interlaced layers of plastic, swapping document information or photographs is very hard without damaging the document and rendering it unusable. The rising need for glazing security will propel the polycarbonate sheets market forward in the future. Polycarbonate sheets, which are lighter and more durable than paper, are also utilized in glow sign boards for various exterior and interior applications.
Challenge: Volatile raw material prices
Fluctuating the price of polycarbonate sheets is posing a challenge to the global polycarbonate sheets market. The main factors determining the pricing of finished products are fluctuating raw material prices and the availability of raw materials. The majority of raw materials used for making polycarbonate sheets are petroleum-based, making them sensitive to commodity price volatility. Thus, the price of polycarbonate sheets has been influenced by changing crude oil prices in recent years. Therefore, customers who are price-sensitive and import threats have an impact on polycarbonate sheet suppliers.
Polycarbonate Sheets Ecosystem
Source: Secondary Research and MarketsandMarkets Analysis
In terms of value, the solid segment is projected to account for the largest share of the polycarbonate sheets market, by type, during the forecast period.
Solid polycarbonate sheet is superior to hollow polycarbonate sheet in light transmission and impact strength. Hence, it is especially suitable for the applications where light is urgently needed, such as lamp boxes, hood lighting, industrial shops and greenhouse. Solid polycarbonate sheet is similar to glass in clarity. These sheets possesses exceptional light transmission, high impact strength, lightweight, excellent thermal insulation, and flame resistance properties making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
Building & construction is projected to be the largest end-use industry.
The building & construction industry is projected to be the largest end-use industry segment of the polycarbonate sheets market during the forecast period. Building & construction applications are on the rise since numerous architects are realizing the benefits of polycarbonate sheets in skylight roofing, cladding, and other applications that require high aesthetic appeal with durability and sustainability. The product is also used owing to its lightweight and durability, high impact and heat resistance, high optical clarity, and other such properties. It is an effective substitute to acrylic sheets or glass materials and thus the consumption is expected to rise significantly in the foreseeable future. Glass-clad laminates also offer resistance to high-powered ballistics and are therefore extensively used in the industry.
Asia Pacific region leads the polycarbonate sheets market in terms of value.
The Asia Pacific accounted for a majority of the global market share owing to rapid industrialization and fast-growing economic conditions. Expanding end-use industries in the Asia Pacific, especially in emerging economies such as India, China, Thailand, and Indonesia are driving demand for substitution of conventional materials such as glass, wood, metal, and others. China is the leading country in the Asia Pacific in terms of the fast-growing aviation market, with a year-on-year rise of 15.1%. The requirement is majorly rising from the aviation industry for interior decorations and other such applications, to reduce the weight of the vehicle and to effectively increase fuel economy. This, in turn, is forecasted to foster the growth of the product in the region over the forecast period.
