Plastics around the world play a stimulating and growing role in the construction process, especially given the discovery of an improved environment with smart design and energy efficiency. The construction industry is currently the largest consumer of plastics and will increasingly use plastics and its derivatives due to the broad functionality and clear advantages of other traditional building materials in flexibility, cost savings, energy efficiency, weather resistance and durability. The growth of the building and construction industry is expected to drive the demand for plastics in buildings over the forecast period. Strong competition in the housing sector has forced market participants to seek economic solutions to reduce the overall cost of a building. The easy processing of plastics and the low technical properties increase the popularity of these materials.
