Rising adoption of advanced materials to drive the demand for engineering plastics

  • The German engineering plastics market accounted for around 21.5%, by value, of the European engineering plastics market in 2022. One of the major reasons behind the rise in the consumption of engineering plastics is their increasing application in the packaging and electrical and electronics industries.
  • The packaging industry comprises the largest industry in the market, with a growth rate of 5.9%, by value, in 2022 compared to the previous year. With the increased demand for ready-to-eat convenience food and the emerging trend of on-the-go lifestyles, the consumption of packaging materials increased, bolstering the sales of engineering plastics. The emerging trend of online shopping from e-commerce websites also serves as a driving factor in the packaging industry.
  • The electrical and electronics industry is the second-largest, which is expected to witness a consumption of 12%, by volume, in 2023 compared to 2022. Trends like the use of advanced materials, organic electronics, miniaturization, and disruptive technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) have enabled smart manufacturing practices and worked as growth drivers for the industry.
  • The market is expected to register a CAGR of 5.53% during the forecast period (2023-2029), with the aerospace industry reporting the highest CAGR of 7.55%, by value, due to an increase in the production of aerospace components. For instance, aerospace component production revenue is expected to reach USD 66.2 billion by 2029 compared to USD 42.3 billion in 2022.

Germany Engineering Plastics Market Trends

Technological innovations are likely to increase electrical and electronics production

  • Rising disposable incomes, technological advancements, improvement in living standards, and shifting preferences toward smart homes and offices are driving the growth of the electrical and electronics industry. In 2017, Germany was the largest electrical and electronics producer, accounting for around 24.3% of the European market.
  • In 2020, the electrical and electronic production in the country decreased by 3.7% by revenue compared to the previous year, owing to country-wide lockdowns and the temporary shutdown of manufacturing facilities, causing several issues, including supply chain disruptions. In 2020, the exports of Germany’s electrical industry were USD 224 billion, 6.6% lower than the previous year. In 2021, German export of the electrical and electronics industry reached a value of EUR 224.6 billion, 10.1% higher compared to 2020. As a result, electrical and electronics production in the country increased by a growth rate of 7.5% by revenue in 2021.​
  • The rapid pace of technological innovation is driving consistent demand for newer and faster electrical and electronic products. The demand for advanced technologies such as virtual reality, IoT solutions, 5G connectivity, and robotics is expected to grow during the forecast period. As a result of technological advancements, demand for consumer electronics is expected to rise during the forecast period. By 2027, consumer electronics in the country are projected to grow by 8.7% and generate a market volume of around USD 18.8 billion. As a result, it is projected to increase the demand for electrical and electronics production. By 2027, Germany is projected to hold the largest electrical and electronics production, accounting for around 22.2% of the European market.​

Keyword Definition
Acetal This is a rigid material that has a slippery surface. It can easily withstand wear and tear in abusive work environments. This polymer is used for building applications such as gears, bearings, valve components, etc.
Acrylic This synthetic resin is a derivative of acrylic acid. It forms a smooth surface and is mainly used for various indoor applications. The material can also be used for outdoor applications with a special formulation.
Cast film A cast film is made by depositing a layer of plastic onto a surface then solidifying and removing the film from that surface. The plastic layer can be in molten form, in a solution, or in dispersion.
Colorants & Pigments Colorants & Pigments are additives used to change the color of the plastic. They can be a powder or a resin/color premix.
Composite material A composite material is a material that is produced from two or more constituent materials. These constituent materials have dissimilar chemical or physical properties and are merged to create a material with properties unlike the individual elements.
Degree of Polymerization (DP) The number of monomeric units in a macromolecule, polymer, or oligomer molecule is referred to as the degree of polymerization or DP. Plastics with useful physical properties often have DPs in the thousands.
Dispersion To create a suspension or solution of material in another substance, fine, agglomerated solid particles of one substance are dispersed in a liquid or another substance to form a dispersion.
Fiberglass Fiberglass-reinforced plastic is a material made up of glass fibers embedded in a resin matrix. These materials have high tensile and impact strength. Handrails and platforms are two examples of lightweight structural applications that use standard fiberglass.
Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) Fiber-reinforced polymer is a composite material made of a polymer matrix reinforced with fibers. The fibers are usually glass, carbon, aramid, or basalt.
Flake This is a dry, peeled-off piece, usually with an uneven surface, and is the base of cellulosic plastics.
Fluoropolymers This is a fluorocarbon-based polymer with multiple carbon-fluorine bonds. It is characterized by high resistance to solvents, acids, and bases. These materials are tough yet easy to machine. Some of the popular fluoropolymers are PTFE, ETFE, PVDF, PVF, etc.
Kevlar Kevlar is the commonly referred name for aramid fiber, which was initially a Dupont brand for aramid fiber. Any group of lightweight, heat-resistant, solid, synthetic, aromatic polyamide materials that are fashioned into fibers, filaments, or sheets is called aramid fiber. They are classified into Para-aramid and Meta-aramid.
Laminate A structure or surface composed of sequential layers of material bonded under pressure and heat to build up to the desired shape and width.
Nylon They are synthetic fiber-forming polyamides formed into yarns and monofilaments. These fibers possess excellent tensile strength, durability, and elasticity. They have high melting points and can resist chemicals and various liquids.
PET preform A preform is an intermediate product that is subsequently blown into a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottle or a container.
Plastic compounding Compounding consists of preparing plastic formulations by mixing and/or blending polymers and additives in a molten state to achieve the desired characteristics. These blends are automatically dosed with fixed setpoints usually through feeders/hoppers.
Plastic pellets Plastic pellets, also known as pre-production pellets or nurdles, are the building blocks for nearly every product made of plastic.
Polymerization It is a chemical reaction of several monomer molecules to form polymer chains that form stable covalent bonds.
Styrene Copolymers A copolymer is a polymer derived from more than one species of monomer, and a styrene copolymer is a chain of polymers consisting of styrene and acrylate.
Thermoplastics Thermoplastics are defined as polymers that become soft material when it is heated and becomes hard when it is cooled. Thermoplastics have wide-ranging properties and can be remolded and recycled without affecting their physical properties.
Virgin Plastic It is a basic form of plastic that has never been used, processed, or developed. It may be considered more valuable than recycled or already used materials.
