Germany, Italy, France, and the United Kingdom are four of the top 10 manufacturing nations in the world that are situated on this continent and lead to high demand. Most of the PMMA is consumed by the construction, automotive, and machinery manufacturing industries because of their market density. The PMMA market is expected to register the fastest growth in the region's aerospace industry, with an expected CAGR of 7.93% (in value) during the forecast period.
- South America is the fastest-growing market. The region developed technological and industrial infrastructure with investments from government and private players, increasing the number of manufacturing contracts. The demand for PMMA resin is expected to record a CAGR of 7.43% by revenue during the forecast period.
Global Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA) Market Trends
Technological advancements in electronics industry may foster the growth
- The rapid pace of technological innovation in electronic products is driving the consistent demand for new and fast electrical and electronic products. In 2022, the global revenue of electrical and electronics stood at USD 5,807 billion, with Asia-Pacific holding a 74% market share, followed by Europe with a 13% share. The global electrical and electronics market is expected to record a CAGR of 6.71% during the forecast period.
- In 2018, the Asia-Pacific region witnessed strong economic growth owing to rapid industrialization in China, South Korea, Japan, India, and ASEAN countries. In 2020, due to the pandemic, there was a slowdown in global electrical and electronics production due to the shortage of chips and inefficiencies in the supply chain, which led to a stagnant growth rate of 0.1% in revenue compared to the previous year. This growth was driven by the demand for consumer electronics for remote working and home entertainment as people were forced to remain indoors during the pandemic.
- The demand for advanced technologies, such as digitalization, robotics, virtual reality, augmented reality, IoT (Internet of Things), and 5G connectivity, is expected to grow during the forecast period. Global electrical and electronics production is expected to register a growth rate of 5.9% in 2027.? As a result of technological advancements, the demand for consumer electronics is expected to rise during the forecast period. For instance, the global consumer electronics industry is projected to witness a revenue reach of around USD 904.6 billion in 2027, compared to USD 719.1 billion in 2023. As a result, technological development is projected to lead the demand for electrical and electronic products during the forecast period.
