Polymerization Catalysts Market Analysis

The Polymerization Catalysts Market is expected to register a CAGR of less than 4% during the forecast period.

  • One of the major factors driving the growth of the market studied is the increasing production of polymer resins, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, and polyurethane.
  • Additionally, the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the strict surveillance of phthalate-based catalysts by environmental agencies, such as US EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) and EU's REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals), are expected to hinder the growth of the market studied.

The Asia-Pacific Region is Expected to Dominate the Market

  • The Asia-Pacific region is expected to experience robust polymerization catalysts growth, owing to the increasing consumption of polyolefins in countries, like China and India.
  • The range of Chinese goods includes cement, chemicals, textiles, toys, electronics, ships, rail cars, automobiles, aircraft, and many other products. Polyolefins, such as polyethylene and polypropylene, are widely used in the production of these products. Thus, China has become a principal location for the manufacturers and exporters of plastic products.
  • China is a major producer and consumer of polyolefin in the world.
  • Furthermore, India is planning to have 18 plastic parks and the government may be investing around USD 6.2 million in the upcoming years for increasing the domestic production of plastics.
  • All such factors are expected to increase the market for polymerization catalysts in the Asia-Pacific region.
