9. Conclusions and Recommendations
Poly-Methyl Methacrylate (PMMA) is a thermoplastic, transparent, and impact resistant substitute for glass. PMMA is utilized across several industries due to its properties such as high durability, high chemical & thermal resistance, excellent abrasion resistance, and low smoke emission.
According to BlueQuark Research & Consulting, the global Poly-Methyl Methacrylate market is expected to witness a moderate growth rate during the forecast period. The major factors responsible for the global Poly-Methyl Methacrylate market's growth are the growing usage of PMMA as a substitute for glass and the increasing demand from developing economies. However, the high production cost of PMMA acts as the restrain for the Poly-Methyl Methacrylate market.
Asia-Pacific region is projected to dominate the Global Poly-Methyl Methacrylate market. The demand for PMMA in this region is mainly driven by the increasing demand from end-user industries, such as construction, automotive & transportation, and electrical & electronics.
In terms of segmentation by grade, the Global Poly-Methyl Methacrylate market is dominated by the General-purpose grade PMMA due to the rising demand for PMMA in various applications such as automobiles, signage, and sanitary-ware.
Extruded sheets are the most extensive form segment of the Global Poly-Methyl Methacrylate market. Extruded sheets offer higher performance and quality than other forms of PMMA, such as cast acrylic sheet, additives, and pellets, thereby making them suitable for various industrial applications.
In terms of segmentation by the End-user Industry, the Automotive and Transportation Industry is projected to dominate the Global Poly-Methyl Methacrylate market. PMMA is used in various automobile parts such as windows of cars, interior and exterior panels, motorcycle windshields, instrument covers, spoilers, and fenders. The rising demand to attain fuel-efficiency by implementing lightweight parts in vehicles boosts PMMA consumption in the automobile industry.
The Global Poly-Methyl Methacrylate market is highly fragmented. Major companies in the market were found to be Arkema SA, Asahi Kasei Corporation, Evonik Industries AG, Mitsubishi Rayon Co., Dow Chemical Company, and Sumitomo Chemical Co., Ltd., among others.
