Rising adoption of advanced materials to drive the demand for engineering plastics
- Engineering plastics are used in interior wall panels and doors in aerospace, packaging, and other applications due to their lightweight nature, high strength, low fatigue, and low flammability.
- The French engineering plastics market accounted for 9% (by value) of the European engineering plastics market in 2022. One of the primary drivers of the increasing consumption is their increased use in the packaging and electrical and electronics industries.
- The packaging industry is the country's largest consumer of engineering plastics, accounting for 8.72% (by value) in 2022 compared to the previous year. Packaging material consumption increased due to increased demand for ready-to-eat convenience foods and the emerging trend of on-the-go lifestyles, thus boosting sales of these plastics. The growing trend of online shopping via e-commerce websites is also expected to propel the packaging industry during the forecast period. The French e-commerce market is one of the largest markets, ranking second in Europe and fifth in the world. It is projected to reach USD 151.7 billion in 2027 from USD 106.5 billion in 2023.
- The aerospace industry is expected to be the fastest-growing consumer of engineering plastics, with the highest CAGR of 8.22% in terms of value during the forecast period. The rising aircraft component production in the country is projected to drive the demand for these plastics during the forecast period. For instance, the country's aircraft component production reached USD 103 billion in 2029 from USD 64.5 billion in 2022.
France Engineering Plastics Market Trends
Technological innovations may increase electrical and electronics production
- The rapid pace of technological innovation in the electrical and electronics industry is driving consistent demand for newer and faster electrical and electronic products, thus boosting their production in France. In 2022, France was the second-largest producer of electrical and electronic products, accounting for 8.1% of the European market.
- In 2020, the country's electrical and electronic production decreased by 13.7% in terms of revenue compared to the previous year, owing to country-wide lockdowns and the temporary shutdown of manufacturing facilities, leading to disruptions in supply chains and import and export trade. In 2021, France's consumer electronics exports reached EUR 1.36 billion, 16.4% higher than in 2020. As a result, electrical and electronic production in France recorded a growth rate of 27.5% by revenue in 2021 compared to the previous year.
- The French electronics industry is expected to grow due to rising government investments. It is expected to receive more than EUR 5 billion in investment by 2030 for the development and industrialization of electronic technologies. The demand for advanced technologies such as virtual reality, IoT solutions, 5G connectivity, and robotics is expected to grow during the forecast period. Due to technological advancements, the demand for consumer electronics is expected to rise during the forecast period. By 2027, the sales of consumer electronics in the country are projected to grow by 11.9% and generate a market value of USD 19.3 billion.

Keyword | Definition |
---|---|
Acetal | This is a rigid material that has a slippery surface. It can easily withstand wear and tear in abusive work environments. This polymer is used for building applications such as gears, bearings, valve components, etc. |
Acrylic | This synthetic resin is a derivative of acrylic acid. It forms a smooth surface and is mainly used for various indoor applications. The material can also be used for outdoor applications with a special formulation. |
Cast film | A cast film is made by depositing a layer of plastic onto a surface then solidifying and removing the film from that surface. The plastic layer can be in molten form, in a solution, or in dispersion. |
Colorants & Pigments | Colorants & Pigments are additives used to change the color of the plastic. They can be a powder or a resin/color premix. |
Composite material | A composite material is a material that is produced from two or more constituent materials. These constituent materials have dissimilar chemical or physical properties and are merged to create a material with properties unlike the individual elements. |
Degree of Polymerization (DP) | The number of monomeric units in a macromolecule, polymer, or oligomer molecule is referred to as the degree of polymerization or DP. Plastics with useful physical properties often have DPs in the thousands. |
Dispersion | To create a suspension or solution of material in another substance, fine, agglomerated solid particles of one substance are dispersed in a liquid or another substance to form a dispersion. |
Fiberglass | Fiberglass-reinforced plastic is a material made up of glass fibers embedded in a resin matrix. These materials have high tensile and impact strength. Handrails and platforms are two examples of lightweight structural applications that use standard fiberglass. |
Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) | Fiber-reinforced polymer is a composite material made of a polymer matrix reinforced with fibers. The fibers are usually glass, carbon, aramid, or basalt. |
Flake | This is a dry, peeled-off piece, usually with an uneven surface, and is the base of cellulosic plastics. |
Fluoropolymers | This is a fluorocarbon-based polymer with multiple carbon-fluorine bonds. It is characterized by high resistance to solvents, acids, and bases. These materials are tough yet easy to machine. Some of the popular fluoropolymers are PTFE, ETFE, PVDF, PVF, etc. |
Kevlar | Kevlar is the commonly referred name for aramid fiber, which was initially a Dupont brand for aramid fiber. Any group of lightweight, heat-resistant, solid, synthetic, aromatic polyamide materials that are fashioned into fibers, filaments, or sheets is called aramid fiber. They are classified into Para-aramid and Meta-aramid. |
Laminate | A structure or surface composed of sequential layers of material bonded under pressure and heat to build up to the desired shape and width. |
Nylon | They are synthetic fiber-forming polyamides formed into yarns and monofilaments. These fibers possess excellent tensile strength, durability, and elasticity. They have high melting points and can resist chemicals and various liquids. |
PET preform | A preform is an intermediate product that is subsequently blown into a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottle or a container. |
Plastic compounding | Compounding consists of preparing plastic formulations by mixing and/or blending polymers and additives in a molten state to achieve the desired characteristics. These blends are automatically dosed with fixed setpoints usually through feeders/hoppers. |
Plastic pellets | Plastic pellets, also known as pre-production pellets or nurdles, are the building blocks for nearly every product made of plastic. |
Polymerization | It is a chemical reaction of several monomer molecules to form polymer chains that form stable covalent bonds. |
Styrene Copolymers | A copolymer is a polymer derived from more than one species of monomer, and a styrene copolymer is a chain of polymers consisting of styrene and acrylate. |
Thermoplastics | Thermoplastics are defined as polymers that become soft material when it is heated and becomes hard when it is cooled. Thermoplastics have wide-ranging properties and can be remolded and recycled without affecting their physical properties. |
Virgin Plastic | It is a basic form of plastic that has never been used, processed, or developed. It may be considered more valuable than recycled or already used materials. |
Research Methodology
Mordor Intelligence follows a four-step methodology in all our reports.
- Step-1: Identify Key Variables: The quantifiable key variables (industry and extraneous) pertaining to the specific product segment and country are selected from a group of relevant variables & factors based on desk research & literature review; along with primary expert inputs.
