Polycarbonate's main applications include electronics and electrical appliances, building materials, automotive making, optical engineering and other industries. In electronics and electrical appliances, polycarbonate is often used to manufacture mobile phone cases, computer parts, and home appliance casings. It is also used for data storage devices. In building materials, it is used to make weather-resistant transparent roofs, windows, and light covers. In the automotive industry, polycarbonate is used for making lamp covers, dashboards, and other interior parts. In the optical field, polycarbonate is commonly used to produce high-quality optical discs, eyeglass lenses, and optical lenses. In recent years, the application of polycarbonate in 3D printing has also been increasingly widespread.
In the Asia-Pacific region and globally, the main producers of polycarbonate include Teijin Chemicals, Bayer, GE Plastics, Samsung, and Chimei Corporation.
Vietnam's manufacturing industry has developed rapidly in recent years, and the plastic industry and its downstream sectors, such as construction, automotive parts manufacturing, electrical cables and wires, textiles and clothing, daily necessities etc., all have significant market expansion potential. According to the publisher's analysis, in 2023, Vietnam's plastic raw material import volume and import value were 6.82 million tons and US$ 9.76 billion, respectively. It is expected that Vietnam's plastic products export value will reach US$ 3.15 billion in 2024, indicating that the downstream industries of synthetic resins in Vietnam are flourishing, and the demand scale for synthetic resins is increasing. The import volume of polycarbonate in Vietnam is also on the rise.
According to the publisher's analysis, the domestic production capacity of raw materials in Vietnam's plastic industry is insufficient, with about 70% of the raw materials being imported, showing a high dependence on imports. In 2023, Vietnam's total import value of polycarbonate exceeded US$ 600 million. The data has reported that from January to May 2024, Vietnam's cumulative import value of polycarbonate was close to US$ 300 million, and market demand is continuously growing.
In Vietnam, with the rapid development of industry and manufacturing, the demand for high-performance materials such as polycarbonate is also growing rapidly. The electronics and electrical appliance manufacturing industry and the automotive industry in Vietnam have a particularly strong demand for polycarbonate. Due to the limited domestic production capacity, Vietnam's polycarbonate market heavily relies on imported products.
According to the publisher's analysis, the main sources of Vietnam's polycarbonate imports from 2021 to 2024 include Japan, South Korea, China, Hong Kong, etc. The main companies exporting this product to Vietnam include LOTTE CHEMICAL, IVICT, and Pla Matels.
The main importers of polycarbonate in Vietnam are manufacturers of plastic materials and products, dealers, and logistics companies, mainly foreign-invested enterprises. The major importers include TENMA, NAGASE VIETNAM CO., LAMVN, etc. According to the publisher's analysis, many of these companies are subsidiaries of multinational companies in this industry in Vietnam.
Overall, with the growth of Vietnam's population and the continued development of the manufacturing industry, the demand for polycarbonate will continue to increase. The publisher expects that in the next few years, Vietnam's polycarbonate imports will continue to maintain a growth trend.

Methodology
Background research defines the range of products and industries, which proposes the key points of the research. Proper classification will help clients understand the industry and products in the report.
Secondhand material research is a necessary way to push the project into fast progress. The analyst always chooses the data source carefully. Most secondhand data they quote is sourced from an authority in a specific industry or public data source from governments, industrial associations, etc. For some new or niche fields, they also "double-check" data sources and logics before they show them to clients.
Primary research is the key to solve questions, which largely influence the research outputs. The analyst may use methods like mathematics, logical reasoning, scenario thinking, to confirm key data and make the data credible.
The data model is an important analysis method. Calculating through data models with different factors weights can guarantee the outputs objective.
The analyst optimizes the following methods and steps in executing research projects and also forms many special information gathering and processing methods.
1. Analyze the life cycle of the industry to understand the development phase and space.
2. Grasp the key indexes evaluating the market to position clients in the market and formulate development plans
3. Economic, political, social and cultural factors
4. Competitors like a mirror that reflects the overall market and also market differences.
5. Inside and outside the industry, upstream and downstream of the industry chain, show inner competitions
6. Proper estimation of the future is good guidance for strategic planning.
