Circular Polymers Market size is Predicted to Witness 11.5% CAGR till 2030

[sara James]

The global Circular Polymers Market size is anticipated to reach USD 152.75 billion by 2030 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 11.5% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. This market is witnessing growth at a propulsive rate owing to increasing strategic initiatives such as new product launches, production expansions, and mergers & acquisitions.

Attributes of circular polymers are similar to traditional polymer resins, including high impact resistance, toughness, lower hardness, and low density. These resins are widely used across applications such as food packaging, adhesives & sealants, interior & exterior components of vehicles, and wires & cables, among others.

Furthermore, strategic initiatives such as mergers & acquisitions, joint ventures, production, expansion, and others are carried out by key players across market to maintain competitiveness. For instance, in July 2023, Saudi Arabian Oil Group (Aramco) and TotalEnergies SE, petroleum refinery companies, along with SABIC, a polymer manufacturer have produced circular polymers utilizing plastic pyrolysis oil alternatively known as plastic waste derived oil (PDO).
