The Global Carbonate Market Growth Accelerated By Increasing Demand For Polycarbonate Films In The Automotive Industry

Carbonate materials find extensive applications across various end-use industries such as automotive, paints & coatings, agriculture, construction, electronics & electrical among others owing to their exceptional properties such as high thermal stability, transparency, impact resistance, flame resistance, and durability. Polycarbonate films derived from carbonate raw materials are increasingly used in the automotive industry for applications such as exterior automotive parts, instrument panels, lenses, and greenhouse applications due to their light weight and high impact strength.

The global Carbonate Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 159.51 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 3.7% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.

Market key trends:

The increasing demand for polycarbonate films from the automotive industry is one of the key trends driving the growth of the carbonate market. Polycarbonate films are increasingly replacing polyvinyl butyral and glass in various automotive applications such as instrument panels, exterior lighting, lenses, and automotive canopies due to their lighter weight and higher impact strength. The growing automotive production across regions such as Asia Pacific and Europe is expected to drive the consumption of polycarbonate films, thereby augmenting the demand for carbonate raw materials over the forecast period.


Segment Analysis

The Global Carbonate Market Size is dominated by the sodium carbonate sub-segment. Sodium carbonate account for over 30% of the total market share owing to its wide applications in glass, chemicals, water treatment and others.
