China's plastics market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 3.7%, during the forecast period. China is the largest producer and consumer of plastics, backed by the largest automotive manufacturing industry, and the electronics industry across the globe. Chinese auto parts industry has increased rapidly, fueled by the increasing presence of international automobile manufacturers in the country. Owing to the increase in the global demand, Chinese suppliers of automotive parts have started supplying their parts to the foreign markets.

China's plastics market is segmented based on type and application. Based on type, the market is broadly categorized into thermoplastics and thermoset plastics. The thermoplastic plastic segment includes the analysis of polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), polyvinylchloride (PVC), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and others. The thermosetting plastics include polyurethane (PUR), epoxy resins, phenolic resins, acrylic resins, and others such as unsaturated polyester, melamine resins, and vinyl ester resins. Based on application, the market is segmented into packaging; building & construction; automotive; electrical & electronics; household, leisure & sports; agriculture; and others.

Furthermore, some of the key players covered in the market report include Asahi Kasei Corp., Hanwha Group, Sumitomo Chemical Co., Ltd., Jam Petrochemicals Co., Toray Group, and Showa Denko K.K. These companies are using several strategies to expand market share and gain a competitive advantage over their competitors. The strategies include new product launches, mergers and acquisitions, partnerships, and collaborations. 

For instance, in June 2020, Showa Denko K.K. expanded manufacturing lines to produce synthetic resin emulsion and vinyl ester resin in the premises of Shanghai Showa Highpolymer Co., Ltd. (SSHP), SDK Chinese subsidiary. The company has enhanced the production of vinyl ester and synthetic resin-emulsion, which intends to expand the functional resin business of Showa Denko Group in China.
