Dublin, June 28, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Polycarbonate Sheets Market by Type (Solid, Multiwall, Corrugated and Others), End-Use Industry (Building & Construction, Automotive & Transportation, Electrical & electronics and Others), Region - Global forecast to 2023" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The polycarbonate sheets market is projected to grow from USD 1.69 billion in 2018 to USD 2.11 billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 4.5% between 2018 and 2023.

Factors such as increasing consumption of polycarbonate sheets in the automotive and construction industries due to effective characteristics offered by them are driving the growth of the polycarbonate sheets market across the globe. The increasing demand for polycarbonate sheets in the Asia Pacific region is also expected to lead to the growth of the market. However, the environmental impacts of polycarbonate sheets may restrain the growth of the market across the globe.

Based on type, the solid segment of the polycarbonate sheets market is expected to witness the highest growth during the forecast period. Solid polycarbonates sheets are often used in place of glass across various applications. The growth of the solid polycarbonate sheets segment can be attributed to the increased use of solid polycarbonate sheets in barrel vault roofing, roof lights, and glazing, as polycarbonate sheets are light in weight in comparison to glass.

Based on end-use industry, the polycarbonate sheets market has been segmented into building & construction, automotive & transportation, electrical & electronics, and others. The building & construction end-use industry segment is projected to lead the polycarbonate sheets market from 2018 to 2023 due to the increasing use of polycarbonate sheets in the construction industry.

Polycarbonate sheets are used in industrial construction, greenhouses, industrial roofing building systems, and in the manufacturing of safety bars for doors and windows. Advantages such as light weight, ease of installation, and energy conservation make polycarbonate sheets preferable for a variety of applications in the construction industry. With the construction industry growing, the demand for polycarbonate sheets is also expected to increase in the near future.

The Asia Pacific polycarbonate sheets market is projected to witness the highest growth between 2018 and 2023. The region is a major consumer of polycarbonate sheets, which are used in various end-use industries such as building & construction, aerospace, automotive, signage & advertising, and electronics, among others. The demand for polycarbonate sheets is increasing from various countries of the Asia Pacific region such as Japan, China, India, and South Korea, among others, thereby leading to the growth of the Asia Pacific polycarbonate sheets market across the globe.
