Polycarbonate (PC) is a lightweight, high-performance thermoplastic polymer that possesses a unique balance of excellent electrical resistance, dimensional stability, optical clarity, high heat resistance, and toughness. Due to its versatile properties, the applications for PC are many and its consumption is very high. Because of its high consumption, PC is often positioned between engineering plastics and commodity plastics. PC is most often synthesized from bisphenol A and phosgene by a step-growth polymerization process, which is also known as condensation process. Another process to develop PC is the melt process, which is a non-phosgene process and uses CO2 as the starting material. Some of the major applications for PC include electrical & electronics, optical media, consumer, and automotive. China is the country with most consumption of PC, globally.

The PC market is segmented by application and by region. The market size of each region, such as Asia-Pacific, Western Europe, North America, and Rest of the World (RoW), is projected in this report. The key countries, such as China, the U.S., Taiwan, Germany, and Japan have been covered and their market sizes are forecasted along with their growth rates.
Electrical & electronics is estimated to be the largest segment, both in terms of value as well as volume, in 2015 with a market share of more than 21.0% of the total PC market. This segment is also projected to be the largest segment throughout the projection year till 2020. The growth in electrical & electronics application is expected to be driven by the increased usage of PC in this industry to manufacture various injection molded components, due to the superior electrical properties of PC.
Asia-Pacific: Largest Consumer
Asia-Pacific is the largest consumer of PC globally, holding more than 61.0% share of the global PC market in 2014 and is projected to grow at a CAGR well above the global average. The high growth in this region is attributed to the well-established end-use industries for PC in Asia-Pacific, which also includes electrical & electronics, automotive, and others.
PC Market
