U.K. Polymer Market Future Prospects
The U.K. polymer market will generate an estimated revenue of USD 27.0 billion in 2024, and it is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.9% from 2024 to 2030, reaching USD 38.1 billion by 2030.
This market is expanding quickly because the U.K. is home to numerous large polymer manufacturing businesses that substantially spend on research and development, including INEOS and Covestro. Next-generation polymers can provide novel and improved performance with the aid of advanced material science and technology, due to which they are in high demand in many industries, such as healthcare. This industry uses these polymers to create medical devices, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine products, and controlled drug delivery systems. Moreover, in the construction industry, these polymers are used for insulation materials, manufacturing flooring, and roofing materials.
Additionally, the Government of the U.K. has implemented rules and measures such as the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund (ISCF) and the Plastics Pact, led by the Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP), to support market growth.
