Market Analysis

The global cyclic olefin copolymers industry is witnessing an increased growth driven by its rising demand from various end-use sectors, including packaging, healthcare, electronics, and optics. It has emerged as one of the most sought-after substances in healthcare and packaging sector owing to its excellent chemical resistance and optical transparency, required in order to replace high-cost PAN-based polymers. The rising government regulations across the globe pertaining to the use of conventional plastic resins for packaging is leading to the increased adoption of sustainable alternatives, such as cyclic olefin resins, which is driving the industry further. Therefore, the growth in the packaging segment is anticipated to drive the global cyclic olefin copolymers industry over the forecast period.

The packaging sector, among other end, uses, will dominate the industry over the forecast period. The Asia Pacific is expected to be one of the most prominent consumer markets for the product in the future due to rapid industrialisation and urbanisation in the region.
