About Commodity Plastic
Commodity plastics refer to a class of materials that are used as raw materials in different industries, such as packaging, textile, consumer goods, and electronics among others. These plastics can be molded or shaped into a range of solid objects such as food containers and bottles. The property of plasticity of commodity plastics, in combination with properties such as low electrical conductivity, low density, toughness, and transparency, allows commodity plastics to find application in a wide range of products.
Technavio’s analysts forecast the global commodity plastic market to grow at a CAGR of 5.53% during the period 2017-2021.
