Asia-pacific continues to lead the market share and growth during 2018-2023
Asia-Pacific is dominating the Polycarbonate Resins market in terms of both revenue and growth, followed by North America and Europe. APAC was estimated to register $8.333 billion in 2017, and expected to reach $12.033 billion by 2023 at a highest CAGR of 5.39%. APAC, with increased concentration of industrial clusters, accounted for 58.90% of the global market, and is forecast to maintain its dominance in the coming five years. Strengthening transformation from mechanical equipment to electrical devices like motors, transformers in factories to increase productivity fuels the use of these resins. Increasing focus on durability of devices, machinery and components in harsh and high temperature conditions also provide impetus to the use of PC resins as they have high-temperature resistance.

Selected / Sample Analysis done in the full Report:

• Polycarbonate automotive glazing is gaining momentum as it is much versatile, lighter than glass and has no shape limitations. However, recently developed laminated glass is more lightweight and durable, and is considered as an alternative to polycarbonate glass, but is in its R&D state.
• Polycarbonate finds application in sheets/films, automotive (window and non-window), housewares, electronics/electrical appliances, medical equipment, ophthalmic, construction, sports, recreational, packaging, etc.
