Polycarbonate Films Market: Drivers and Restraints
Led by the rise in disposable income of people, the passenger cars segment is anticipated to drive the global automotive industry at a significant pace. However, increase in environmental concerns and level of pollution is estimated to hamper the market during the forecast period. A major challenge faced by OEMs is providing numerous options to customers at low cost. Increase in need to offer energy-efficient cars at low prices creates further concerns for automotive manufacturers. Thus, demand for lightweight and superior performance polymers has increased in the past few years. Polycarbonate is a functional polymer that possesses important attributes of plastic such as low weight, high elasticity, and good resistance to abrasion, heat, chemicals, oil, and moisture. Hence, polycarbonate films are considered alternatives to metal, steel, and other conventional polymers films used in the manufacture of automotive components. Therefore, rise in automobile production and increase in pressure to manufacture fuel-efficient vehicles are expected to boost the polycarbonate films market during the forecast period. However, availability of substitutes with improved performance such as thermoplastic polyurethane films is anticipated to hamper the polycarbonate films market during the forecast period.
Polycarbonate Films Market: Segmentation
Based on application, the polycarbonate films market can be segmented into:
Automotive & Transportation
Building & Construction
Aerospace
Energy
Electrical & Electronics
Others (Consumer Goods, etc.)
