概要

Stratistics MRCによると、世界のポリカーボネート樹脂市場は2024年に158億9,000万米ドルを占め、予測期間中のCAGRは7.5%で2030年には245億2,000万米ドルに達する見込みです。

ポリカーボネート樹脂は、優れた耐久性、高い耐衝撃性、光学的透明性で知られる汎用性の高い熱可塑性ポリマーです。光学ディスク、眼鏡レンズ、自動車部品、電子筐体など、透明性と強度を必要とする製品の製造に頻繁に使用されています。さらに、ポリカーボネート樹脂は非常に成形しやすく、さまざまなサイズや形状に簡単に加工できるため、さまざまな用途に最適です。屋外での長寿命と安定性は、熱や紫外線に対する優れた耐性も影響しています。

国際エネルギー機関(IEA)によると、ポリカーボネート樹脂は軽量で耐久性に優れているため、建築をはじめとするさまざまな業界で需要が増加しています。

頑丈で軽量な素材へのニーズの高まり

ポリカーボネート樹脂が好まれる理由は、その卓越した軽量性と耐久性にあります。耐久性を犠牲にすることなく軽量な素材を求めるニーズは、輸送、航空宇宙、自動車などの分野で高まっています。ポリカーボネートは金属やガラスのような重い素材に取って代わることができるため、メーカーは製品全体の重量を減らすことができ、性能、燃費、エネルギー効率を向上させることができます。さらに、ポリカーボネート樹脂を窓、ミラー、内装部品などの部品に使用することで、自動車の軽量化にも貢献しています。これは、電気自動車(EV)の需要が高まり、燃費規制が強化されていることを考えると、非常に重要なことです。
