The global plastic compounding market has been segmented based on product, application, and region. Based on the product, polypropylene (PP) held over a 30% share of the total plastic compounding industry in 2019. Its compounds are widely used in automotive applications due to high impact resistance and serviceability. Economic growth in the Asian and Latin American economies has powered demand in the automotive industry, both in terms of car purchases and domestic production. Considering the ever-increasing output of vehicles, along with regulatory developments, which require manufacturers to minimize vehicle weight and boost fuel efficiency; the use of plastics in automotive applications will increase dramatically over the forecast era. It has a strong tolerance to fatigue and greater chemical and temperature tolerance. These factors have made PP popular material for multiple applications in developed economies and emerging economies alike.

By application, the automotive sector is expected to lead the product category over the forecast period. Increased incorporation of plastics as opposed to metals and alloys into automotive parts was a crucial factor in the development of the market. In recent years, there has been a substantial rise in automobile demand, primarily led by the development of the industry and the industrial environment of emerging markets. China, India, and Brazil are the fastest-growing economies and are also the main automotive manufacturing hubs. This pattern is expected to persist in the future, thereby boosting demand for compound plastic.
