According to BlueWeave Consulting, Stringent rules and laws related exhaustion and recyclability of conventional resources such as metal and wood are expected to drive more plastics demand from construction industries in isolation, pipes, cables, floorboards, windows, storage tanks, and others. Polymer fittings are also usually relatively simple and easy to connect, compared to metals or wood, with an extensive range of color mixtures, adding to their aesthetic appeal. Rising population, rapid urbanization, and industrialization in developing economies are compelling government to raise their construction expenditure to address growing infrastructure needs. Increasing construction expenditure by the government, mainly in China and India, will drive the demand for plastics in infrastructure and construction applications. In the automobile, industrial plastics used into automotive components and parts owing to their ease of manufacturing, possible sourcing from renewable raw materials and relative ease of improved design. The properties of plastics such as scratch resistance, recyclability, high volume to weight resistance, impact strength, thermal stability, and resistance to abrasion make them suitable for use in the automobile industry.
