The global rigid transparent plastic market size is estimated to expand at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed to the surging demand for packaged food products and rising preference for online shopping.
Rigid transparent plastic is mainly transparent thermoplastic, which is lightweight and has sound shatter resistant. It widespread applications can be found in aquariums, aircraft, lighting fittings, and various other consumer products. Above a certain temperature, transparent polymers are flexible and moldable and return to a solid state upon cooling. These polymers have properties including corrosion and chemical resistance, recyclability, lightness, moderate electrical and thermal conductivity, durability, shock resistance, and water resistance, among others.
Acrylic and polycarbonate are rigid transparent plastic sheet materials that are stronger than many other clear plastic sheet materials. They are frequently employed in architectural glazing applications where transparency and excellent mechanical characteristics are required.
Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities
- Growing demand for plastic packaging in the medical industry is expected to drive the market expansion.
- Huge increase in e-commerce activities and rising foreign exports are projected to boost the rigid transparent plastic market growth during the forecast period.
- Increasing replacement of glasses with rigid transparent plastics in a number of applications is anticipated to positively impact the market growth in the coming years.
- Shifting focus toward flexible packaging over rigid packaging can restrict the market growth.
- Rising consumer demand for on-the-go and ready-to-use products, which requires a healthy functioning and convenient packaging, is anticipated to propel the market expansion.
