What Are the Key Drivers of the Polycarbonate Market?
The rising demand for electric vehicles is expected to boost the growth of the polycarbonate market going forward. An electric vehicle (EV) is powered by one or more electric motors using electrical energy stored in rechargeable batteries or another energy storage device. Polycarbonate is commonly used in electric vehicles due to its lightweight, high-impact resistance, and optical clarity, providing enhanced safety, improved energy efficiency, and design flexibility. For instance, in April 2024, according to International Energy Agency, a France-based autonomous intergovernmental organisation, in 2023, global electric car registrations surged to nearly 14 million, marking a 35% increase from 2022 and bringing the total electric vehicles on the road to 40 million, a significant rise from just 5% market penetration five years earlier. Therefore, rising demand for electric vehicles is driving the growth of the polycarbonate market.
