The global market for polycarbonate resins has the geographic presence throughout the Americas,
Europe, Asia-Pacific and Rest of the world. It is dominated by countries such as the U.S., China,
Japan and Western European nations such as U.K., France, Germany and so on. China and the U.S.
collectively occupied over 45% of global polycarbonate resins market in 2014. Fastest growth will be
exhibited by APAC due to the presence of developing economies of India and China which are
exhibiting high adoption rates of polycarbonate in various applications.
The competition from other resins such as polypropylene, ABS and other blended resins is likely to
hinder the growth of the global polycarbonate resin market. High initial capital investment and
difficulty in obtaining access to technical product licensing and establishment of efficient marketing
channel can be listed as the major entry barriers for market penetration.
