Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue: Engineering Plastics - A Global Market Overview
The emerging regions such as Asia, South America, Middle-East and developing regions from Europe have been witnessing sizeable growth prospects for engineering plastics. Growing purchasing power in the developing economies is seen as a key driver of demand for engineering plastics in these regions. Primary drivers for the same include hitherto unexplored opportunities of replacing metals not only in automobiles, but also in the areas of household appliances, construction and infrastructure, to name a few. For example, Asian economy has been thriving primarily due to advancements in the traditional sectors of automobiles, building and construction, business machines, electrical & electronics, household appliances, telecommunications and transportation. Engineering Plastics are being widely employed in auto parts, consumer goods and electrical & electronics applications.
Engineering Plastics covered in this report include Styrene Copolymers - Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene and Styrene Acrylonitrile (ABS & SAN), Polycarbonate (PC), Polyamide (PA), Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA), Polyacetal/Polyoxymethylene (POM), Thermoplastic Polyesters - Polybutylene Terephthalate ad Polyethylene Terephthalate (PBT & PET), Polyphenylene Oxide (PPO/PPE Blends), Fluoropolymers (PTFE & Other FPs), Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) and Other High Performance Engineering Thermoplastics (HPETPs) including Polyketones (PEEK & PEKK), Liquid Crystal Polymers (LCPs), Polyimide (PI) and High Temperature Polyamides (HT-PA).
