    Plastics compounders play a crucial role in enhancing mechanical, physical, and thermal properties along with optical and functional properties of base plastics with the addition of one or more additives. Additives in the form of flakes, pallets, powder, and others are used in the compounding process. Polypropylene and polyethylene are the most common base polymers used in the plastic compounding process. These additives enable end-users to achieve their requirements in an economical way, such as enhancing flame retardant and antioxidant properties of materials, thereby, improving material safety. Further, some recycled materials can be added as additives, thereby minimizing industrial or consumer waste in landfills and supporting sustainability initiatives of several end-user sectors.

    Automotive is one of the key end-users of compounding plastics. Proliferating automotive sales and production across the region are driving the market growth. On an average around 30,000 parts are required in a vehicle, out of which around one-third is made up of plastics. Stringent vehicle emission norms adopted by the U.S. and Canada are pressurizing automotive manufacturers to enhance fuel efficiency of the vehicles. Weight reduction is a key factor in enhancing fuel efficiency, and plastic components enable automotive manufacturers to achieve the target in an efficient way, thereby surging the demand for plastic compounds.

    Plastic components are widely used in infrastructure development projects. High strength and directional stability of products are important in several construction products. Development of a wide range of plastic grades is supporting the plastic compounding production consumption in this sector.

    North America Market, By Product

    The thermoplastic segment dominated the market with around 88% volumetric shares in 2019. Thermoplastic products are highly demanded in automotive production. These polymers can be melted, molded, and remolded without altering the physical properties of the material. Since the matrix can be melted, composite materials are remolded and recycled easily. Thermoplastic materials have low density as compared to thermosets, making them a suitable alternative for weight-critical applications. The proliferating automotive sector in the region and establishment of new automation production facilities will drive the product demand.
