Thermoplastic Polyolefin Market : Growing demand from the automotive industry is projected to boost the global market growth

Pune, India, February 08, 2018 /MRFR Press Release/- Market research future published a Half cooked research report on Global Thermoplastic Polyolefins Market.

Thermoplastic polyolefins compounds are multiphase components in which one phase is made up of elastomeric material which is soft and behave like rubber at room temperature, and other phase comprises of a substance that is hard at room temperature and fluid when heated. These retain the ease of processing, chemical resistance of polypropylene, and lightweight nature. Moreover, they do not need any drying prior to molding, which saves both time and cost. They are combined with fillers to offer a good balance of impact resistance and stiffness along with better dimensional stability and improves heat deflection temperature (HDT). They are widely used in various application such as medical, automotive, home appliances, industrial, building & construction, others on account of their unique properties.

Some of the important factors that positively influence the growth of thermoplastic polyolefins market are constant urbanization, rising construction activities, and expansion of electronics & electrical industry. In addition, increasing disposable income along with shifting consumer trends towards the lightweight and fuel-efficient vehicles drive the growth of the market over the forecast period, 2017 to 2023. Moreover, increasing commercial, residential, and institutional construction sector in developed and developing countries are estimated to propel the growth of the market over the assessment period. However, the presence of various substitutes along with fluctuating raw material prices is predicted to hamper the growth of the market.

Market Segmentation:

The global thermoplastic polyolefins market is segmented on the basis of application and region. On the basis of the application, the market is categorized into automotive, medical, home appliances, building & construction, industrial, and others. Others segment comprised of rubber goods, packaging, wire & cable, battery, and footwear.
