Industry Outlook
Rotomoulding Powder market was valued at USD 8,268.5 Bn in 2017 and expected to grow at a CAGR of 18.2% from 2018 to 2026. Rotomoulding powder is prepared from ethylene, one of the extract obtained during the refining of crude oil. It is used in manufacturing of various plastic products such as plastic water tanks, plastic septic tanks, automotive components, plastic packaging products, plastic furniture, decorative items, and other product. Rotomoulding powder is widely used in manufacturing of tanks used in water supply water storage. Rotomoulding powder tanks are also used in sewage disposal systems and agriculture irrigation systems.
Surging demand from developed economies such as North America and Europe owing to rapid urbanization, increase in household earning and infrastructural development expected to boost the growth of the global rotomoulding powder market. The growth of rotomoulding powder market in the recent years is fueled by factors such as low cost, improved life cycle and growing array applications of rotomoulding powder. Rotomoulding powder cost about 15% to 20% less than extrusion blow moulding and twin-sheet thermoforming which has direct impact on the product cost. Further, easy raw material availability and low cost of raw material makes the rotomoulded powder products cheaper as compared to traditional products. Growing demand for cheap flexible packaging and plastic products from end use industries expected to spur the demand for rotomoulding powder over the forecast period. However, factors such as volatile raw material prices coupled with stringent environmental regulation regarding disposing and recycling of plastic products hampering the overall market growth.
Companies’ focus are focusing on low cost manufacturing using advance technology and expansion of manufactruing across key consuming regions across the globe. However, enviromental concerns for disposal and recylcing of plastic products is expected to hamper the market growth over the forecast period.
