POST CONSUMER RESIN (PCR) MARKET REPORT OVERVIEW

Global post consumer resin (pcr) market size was USD 35.1 Billion in 2024 and market is projected to touch USD 57.92 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.7% during the forecast period.

The COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, post consumer resin (PCR) experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

In order to meet consumer demand, promote recycling initiatives, and lessen their influence on landfills, several manufacturers are turning to post-consumer resin (PCR), a type of environmentally friendly packaging. Through community recycling programs, PCR plastics, which are made from recycled PET bottles and other plastics, are turned into different packaging materials.

Due to the growing use of post consumer resin (PCR) throughout the manufacture of consumer electronics, the post consumer resin (PCR) market growth is expected to expand. Numerous nations are taking action to reduce the fast rising volume of e-waste, which is a serious worldwide issue. In order to meet their sustainability goals, many businesses have accepted the usage of post-consumer plastics that have been recycled in the production of their electrical products. Additionally, a growing variety of preservation of the environment awareness campaigns are being run, keeping both customers and the producers of electronic devices informed about the explosive growth of e-waste.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Incrementing Sales of Quick-to-Eat Meals to Advance Market Share 

Due to the extraordinary COVID-19 outbreak, the supply chain was disrupted, which had an impact on production across many industries. The post consumer resin (PCR) market share constantly expanded due to the rising sales of quick-to-eat meals, drinks, and medicines. Major companies integrated their operations for producing raw materials and distributing them, maintaining the quality of their products and growing their regional reach. They gained a competitive advantage from this tactical maneuver by reducing expenses and increasing profit margins. These businesses aggressively engaged in study and development in order to stay on the cutting edge, developing cutting-edge products that satisfied changing consumer and market demands.

LATEST TRENDS

Measures for Lowering Carbon Footprints to Stimulate Market Development

The market for post consumer resin (PCR) has increased recently due to a growing focus on sustainability and proactive measures for lowering carbon footprint taken by different consumer electronics makers. Manufacturers of laptops including Lenovo use post consumer resin (PCR) to create notebooks, desktop computers, workstations, displays, and other peripherals. Over the projected period, it's anticipated that post-consumer reused plastic resin adoption will continue to rise. A significant difficulty for mobile phone manufacturers worldwide is the rise in environmental, climate, and biodiversity-related worries about plastic waste. The mobile phone market is also being driven by an increased competitive environment brought on by consumers' high purchasing power across major nations and increasing disposable incomes among middle-income groups. Global television sales have increased due to factors including technical development and greater disposable income.

DRIVING FACTORS

Non-Bottle Solid Source Category to Aid Market Expansion 

In 2022, the non-bottle solid source category dominated the market and contributed a substantial revenue. Recent years have seen a substantial increase in the recovery and manufacture of non-bottle rigid plastics, which has led to an increase in exporters' purchases of commodities that are challenging to recycle, including mixed resin rigid bales.

High-density polyethylene (HDPE) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) are the two main resins used in the recycling of plastic bottles. Due to its low weight and great durability, HDPE is utilized to make the cases for mobile phones and laptops. Additionally, the need for bottles of plastic as an initial source for post-consumer plastics that are recycled has been positively impacted by the increased demand for electronics, especially mobile phones and laptops.

Demand for Wearables to Foster Industry Progress

It is projected that the rising demand for wearables would have a favorable impact on the nation's need for post-consumer recycled plastics. The popularity of gadgets that are worn, such as health monitors and fitness trackers, which provide real-time information about general health, is a result of the increased prevalence of being overweight and other chronic disorders.

In order to assess general health, wearable electronics provide data on oxygen saturation, blood pressure, sleep duration and quality, calorie intake, levels of cholesterol, heartbeat tracking, and other factors. Additionally, rising demand for LCD panels, portable carried devices, cell phone bodies, and various other applications, as well as for appliances and white goods, is anticipated to support demand for goods over the projection period.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Shift Towards Non-Plastic Solutions to Stop Market Evolution

Post consumer resin (PCR) market will be further hampered by rising price fluctuations in raw materials as a result of increasing poor infrastructure facilities for recycling, growing ignorance about the significance of sustainability in some emerging economies, and rising packaging shift toward non-plastic solutions.
