Drivers – Cast Acrylic Sheets Market
- Demand of Lightweight Materials
The growing demand for lightweight materials from the automotive and aviation, industry is driving cast acrylic sheets demand as, these sheets add durability and luminescence to the vehicles. According to OICA, in 2018, the light commercial vehicles production has increased to 20,635,799 units from 19,481,394 units in 2017. The increasing popularity for reducing the weight of vehicles to increase fuel efficiency and reduce the GHG emissions supported by the introduction of electric vehicles are driving the use of cast acrylic sheets in the automotive & transportation industry during the forecast period.
- Enhanced Characteristics As Compared To Other Similar Materials
Cast acrylic sheets are used as a substitute for materials such as glass, ceramic, and wood in the sanitary ware, architecture, and signage & display industry because of its superior characteristics such as high strength, clarity, lightness and glare reduction. Cast acrylic sheets are safer than glass as it does not shatter. Thus, they can be used as an alternative for glass panel which acts as a driver for the forecast period.
Challenges – Cast Acrylic Sheets Market
- High Price of Cast Acrylic Sheets and Availability of Substitutes
Cast acrylic sheets are high quality products and are expensive, the manufacturing process is more time taking and labor extensive. Since substitute materials which are equally effective in nature are also available for less prices the consumer might not prefer cast acrylic sheets. This factor may act as a restraint to the market growth.
