The global virgin resin market was valued at $375.7 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach $528.9 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 3.5% from 2022 to 2031.
Virgin resin is the purest form of polymer mainly produced from natural resources such as natural gases, crude oil, petroleum feedstock, and others. Virgin resin has good mechanical and chemical properties and undergoes minimum degradation due to which it is extensively used during plastic production. Virgin resin finds a wide range of applications in packaging, automotive, electronics, food & beverages, textile, construction, and others.
Growing population across the globe, rise in disposable income, and increase in consumer demand for packaged food have enhanced the growth of the packaging sector. For instance, according to a report published by the National Investment Promotion and Facilitation Agency, the packaging industry was worth over $917 billion in 2019 and is expected to reach $1.05 trillion by 2024, growing at a CAGR of 2.8%. Virgin resin-based plastic products are used for making plastic containers, plastic wraps, films, and other products. Furthermore, an increase in awareness regarding hygienic and safe packaged food has enhanced the demand for virgin resin in the growing packaging industry.
Plastic pollution is becoming one of the most pressing environmental issues these days, owing to its disposal, decomposition, toxic chemical constituents, and other factors. Several countries such as Taiwan, Bangladesh, the UK, and China have made efforts to ban the use of various virgin resin polystyrene, epoxy, and other products. This has set back the key manufacturers from producing virgin resins.
Virgin resins are relatively cheap as compared to metals and possess chemical and mechanical properties owing to which they can be used as a substitute for metals in several applications. For instance, Domo Chemicals company offers DOMAMID polyamide 6 virgin resins that have excellent technical properties and are used to replace metals in automotive applications, reducing weight, saving energy, and simplifying the production process of high-flow materials in the automotive industry. Mechanical, chemical and cost-effective properties of virgin resin have made the manufacturer increase its production capacities for virgin resin. This is anticipated to increase sales of virgin resins in several end-use sectors; thus, offering lucrative opportunities for the market.
