Description
Global Recyclable Thermoset Market Overview
The global recyclable thermoset market is projected to reach $987.9 million by 2031 from $536.8 million in 2022, growing at a CAGR of 7.01% during the forecast period 2022-2031. The growth in the global recyclable thermoset market is expected to be driven by the advancement in thermoset recycling technologies globally, investments and collaboration in the plastic recycling industry, and regulations promoting plastic recycling in various countries. However, the complex process of thermoset recycling and the lack of proper infrastructure for hard-to-recycle products are some key restraining factors for the market.
Market Lifecycle Stage
The global recyclable thermoset market is in a growing phase. New trends, such as the rising focus on sustainability in the wind energy sector, change in business models of companies due to climate action, and replacing virgin materials with recyclable thermosets and venturing into new end-user applications are further expected to provide opportunities for the market to grow in the coming years.
Industrial Impact
With an increased worldwide focus on increasing focus on sustainability and bio-based renewable materials, there is an increasing shift toward advanced recyclable materials in end-use industries, thereby creating demand for recyclable thermosets. The shift is more prominent in the construction, automotive and energy industries in regions such as Europe, North America, and China.
Impact of COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic had a minor impact on the global recyclable thermoset market. It altered the market in both positive as well as negative ways. During the COVID-19 pandemic, sectors such as energy and power and consumer electronics appliances showed positive growth, while demand from end-use industries, including automotive, construction, and aerospace, was impacted negatively due to the economic slowdown.
