The metal replacement refers to the replacing metals with engineered plastics or composite polymer materials in major end-use applications. Metal replacement accompanies with it various useful attributes including lightweight, cost-effective, and efficient outputs. Products made of engineered plastics and composites are relatively easier to process, lighter, and available in more complex shapes. Today, plastics are used in various applications ranging from toys, grocery bags, and other consumer products to high-end aerospace and military applications.
MARKET DYNAMICS
The metal replacement market is anticipated to grow in the forecast period owing to driving factors such as increasing demand for lightweight materials coupled with rising demands for cost-effective and efficient lightweight vehicles. Moreover, metal replacements with engineered plastics in end-use industries such as construction, aviation, and healthcare further fuel the growth of the metal replacement market. However, the high cost of materials restricts the growth of the metal replacement market. Nonetheless, growing construction and automotive industry in developing countries offer lucrative opportunities for the metal replacement market players during the forecast period.
