Global polymers market is estimated to reach around $ 546 billion in 2020 and is projected to grow at a steady pace
during the forecast period to reach $ 693 billion by 2025. Polymers are the chains of monomer units and the
physical properties of final materials are determined by the structural and chemical composition of the chain.
Increasing demand for polymers from various end-user industries like healthcare, construction, packaging,
automobiles, among others for the manufacturing of adhesives elastomers, and surface coatings is the key factor
contributing to the growth of global polymers market.

Research Methodology
Baseline Methodology
Our dedicated team of industry experts has monitored and analyzed various aspects of the global polymers market. The team has analyzed the outlook
of various segments of this market, while considering the major influencing factors such as increasing demand for polymers from various end user
industries such as packaging, building & construction, automotive, electronics, telecommunication, among others. The study includes market
forecasting, which would enable our clients to take better decisions while planning their strategy to achieve sustainability in the global polymers
market.
Methodology Followed for Calculation of Market Size:
• Market Size By Value & Volume: Market size, in terms of value, for the year 2019 was calculated based on information collected through
exhaustive secondary research and primary surveys, with various key opinion leaders/stakeholders, such as polymer manufacturers/suppliers,
channel partners, market influencers & end users, industry experts, and other industry participants.
• The team interviewed more than 15 – 20 polymers manufacturers/ suppliers, 100 – 120 end users, and 15 – 20 industry experts and other value
chain stakeholders in the global polymers market to obtain the overall market size from 2015 to 2019, which was validated by the Delphi technique.
Taking standard deviation into consideration, the market size was averaged out, to arrive at the market size data during 2015-2019.

15. 15
Research Methodology
• Respondents were asked about the current and future market growth rates, market shares by type, by product, by application, by each region, and
by company. Removing the outlier responses, the geometric mean of growth estimates and provider wise revenue shares generated across various
segments were considered, to arrive at the final revenue shares. Revenue shares generated across various segments were further triangulated from
other stakeholders.
Methodology Followed for Calculation of Market Shares:
• Market shares by type, by product, by application, by region and by company were calculated based on the responses received through primary
surveys with industry experts, in which the respondents were asked about the market shares or revenue generated from various segments of
polymers. The final shares were calculated by taking the geometric mean of the responses gathered from key opinion leaders after eliminating the
outliers.
Methodology Followed for Forecasting:
• TechSci Research performed periodical checks on data collected through the surveys with logic checks and analyzed the survey results in
SPSS/Tableau Software.
• Data triangulation techniques were applied to fill the gaps and to present a more meaningful picture of the market. To forecast global polymers
market, TechSci Research used various forecast techniques such as:
✓ Moving Average
✓ Time Series Analysis
✓ Regression Analysis
✓ Econometric and Judgmental Analysis

INDUSTRY BRIEF
According to TechSci Research report, “Global Polymers Market By Type, By Product, By Application, By Region, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2025”, the global polymers market is
estimated to reach $ 546 billion in 2020. Nevertheless, the market is expected to witness a challenging scenario until the end of 2021 due to the impact of COVID-19. These polymers compounds
are widely used in electronics and electrical sector and in light weight automotive parts. These polymer compounds reduce automobile weight by substantial amount, resulting in better fuel efficiency.
These attributes are expected to boost the growth of global polymers market over the coming years. However, with declaring the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic, an unparalleled global economic
disruption is being witnessed. Packaging is integral to pharmaceuticals, FMCG, food and all the other segments that fall under the purview of essential services. The entire packaging industry which
creates huge demand for polymers is expected to witness a slump due to restricted transportation and temporary closure of suppliers and customer operations. Construction sector, which is second
largest end user of polymer market after packaging industry, is already under pressure and may come to standstill due to prolonged disruptions on account of COVID-19, which may have a huge
impact on the global polymer market,
Automobile and component manufacturing plants are being shuttered around the world, consumer footfalls in showrooms have fallen sharply, vehicle sales are dropping dramatically and almost
every major industry event is either being cancelled or going the digital way. This will result in a sharp decline in the global automobile industry, and thus, demand from this industry for polymer will
also decrease significantly, at least, in the near term. Also, stringent regulations by the regulatory bodies of various governments can act as a major impediment to the growth of global polymers
market in the years to come. For instance, in December 2018, the European Union banned the usage of single use plastics.
The polymers market is segmented into three types include Thermoplastics, Thermosets and Elastomers. Thermoplastics are made up of weaker forces of attraction as compared to the thermosets.
Thermoplastics accounts for more than 70% share in the global polymer demand, owing to their ability to be easily molded into various shapes by applying heat and pressure. Thermoplastics include
Polyethylene, which accounts for the largest segmental share, followed by Polypropylene, Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), Polyurethane, Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), and Polystyrene.
DuPont de Nemours, Inc., SABIC, LyondellBasell Industries N.V., Exxon Mobil Corporation, BASF SE, INEOS AG, Eni S.p.A., Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LLC, LANXESS Corporation,
Covestro AG among others are the leading players operating in global polymers market. “Asia-Pacific dominated the global polymer market until 2019 and is forecast to maintain its dominance over
the next five years as well on account of continuing economic growth of major regional economies such as China and India. Surging growth of the electronics market in India coupled with huge and
fast developing infrastructure in China are some of the major factors that boosting polymer consumption, and this trend is expected to continue through 2025.”, said Mr. Karan Chechi, Research
Director with TechSci Research, a research based global management consulting firm.
