What is Polycarbonate?
Polycarbonate is a thermoplastic polyester that can withstand high temperatures without degrading or melting. It is highly transparent, which allows clear and unobstructed views. It is lightweight, durable, easy to install, versatile, and cost effective, and offers a high refractive index or natural ultraviolet (UV) resistance. It provides heat resistance and can be combined with flame retardant materials without significant material degradation. It can be molded into various shapes and sizes and can be colored or coated to provide additional functionality. It is used in plastic lenses of eyewear, medical devices, automotive components, protective gear, greenhouses, compact discs (CDs), digital versatile discs (DVDs), Blu-ray, and exterior lighting fixtures.
The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak caused a significant impact on the polycarbonate industry and imposed unprecedented challenges. This led to a decrease in demand for polycarbonate products as many construction projects were put on hold. Moreover, the pandemic caused a disruption in the global supply chain of raw materials used in the production of polycarbonate. Many countries implemented export restrictions on critical materials, which made it difficult for manufacturers to procure the necessary inputs. This, in turn, resulted in a shortage of finished products and higher prices for customers. In addition to the supply chain disruptions, the pandemic led to changes in consumer behavior. The shift towards remote work and online learning reduced the need for some polycarbonate products, such as office partitions and school furniture, while increasing the demand for others, such as laptop screens and webcams. Despite the challenges faced by the polycarbonate industry, there were some opportunities as well. The pandemic highlighted the need for durable and easy-to-clean materials, which led to an increased demand for polycarbonate products in the medical and healthcare sectors.
The increasing use of polycarbonate in safety glasses, face shields, riot shields, and bullet resistant glass on account of its high impact resistance properties represents one of the major factors bolstering the market growth around the world. Moreover, there is a rise in the usage of polycarbonate to protect against the shattering and scratching of electronic products like computers, mobile phones, tablets, electrical chargers, fax machines, pagers, connectors, and battery boxes. This, coupled with the growing sales of electronics, is influencing the market positively. In addition, polycarbonate is employed in the automotive industry for the manufacturing of the components of the vehicle, including lighting, headlamp lenses, interior cladding, dashboards, bumpers, and body panels. This, along with the increasing sales of luxury vehicles and the rising need for passenger and driver safety equipment, is favoring the growth of the market. Apart from this, the growing utilization of polycarbonate in the construction industry for manufacturing wall panels to provide natural light and maintain privacy is creating a positive outlook for the market.
