Qualitative and quantitative insights were obtained by interviewing supply-side and demand-side stakeholders during the primary research process. Supply-side sources comprised CEOs, VPs of Manufacturing Operations, regulatory compliance leaders, and commercial directors from petrochemical conglomerates, resin compounders, and polymer resin manufacturers. Procurement directors, supply chain managers, product development engineers, and sourcing leads from automotive OEMs, construction material companies, packaging converters, electronics manufacturers, medical device producers, and consumer goods companies constituted demand-side sources. The primary research validated market segmentation, confirmed capacity expansion timelines, and collected insights on material substitution patterns, pricing volatility, and sustainability transition dynamics.

Global market valuation was derived through production capacity mapping and consumption volume analysis. The methodology included:
Identification of over 55 key manufacturers in North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and Latin America
Product mapping for thermoplastic/thermoset categories, including polyethylene (HDPE, LDPE, LLDPE), polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene, expandable polystyrene, and other thermoplastics
Analysis of annual revenues that are specific to polymer resin portfolios, as reported and modeled
Manufacturers that account for 75-80% of the global market share in 2024 are included in the coverage.
Derive segment-specific valuations for automotive, packaging, construction, electrical & electronics, healthcare, and consumer applications through extrapolation using bottom-up (consumption volume × ASP by country/region) and top-down (manufacturer revenue validation) approaches.
