Thermoplastic Polyester Engineering Resin (TPER) Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2022 - 2027)

The market for thermoplastic polyester engineering resin is expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 4% globally during the forecast period. Thermoplastic polyester engineering resins are materials that soften when heated and harden again when cooled. These resins are usually ductile and harder than thermoset resins and are used without fillers and reinforcements for a wide range of non-structural applications. The growing demand from the electrical and electronics industry has been driving the market growth.

Key Highlights

• However, the outbreak of coronavirus across the globe is likely to hinder the growth of the studied market.
• The growing application of thermoplastic polyester engineering resin in consumer goods is likely to provide opportunities for the studied market, during the forecast period.
• The automotive industry is the major application segment for the market studied.
• Asia-Pacific region is expected to dominate the market and is also likely to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period
