The study estimates that developing countries in South Asia will account for approximately 32% revenue share of the plastic furniture market in 2019. Increasing growth of the construction industry and increasing disposable income of consumers in South Asia is mainly attributed for the surge in demand for plastic furniture in the region. Manufacturers in the plastic furniture market in South Asia are introducing unique designs at affordable prices to tap the sales potential in developing nations in the region.

The Fact.MR study finds that leading plastic furniture manufacturers in South Asia currently bank on independent furniture outlets and modern trade channels to improve sales across the region. However, with the exponentially growing e-commerce industry and the emergence of online distribution channels, market players will collaborate with third-party online channels to tap the growth potential of the recent e-commerce trends in the upcoming years, opines the study.

In addition, the increasing growth of the plastic processing industry in South Asian countries, such as India, Thailand, and Indonesia, is shaping the plastic furniture market in the region. Growing local production of raw materials is enabling plastic furniture manufacturers to reduce the production costs and launch innovative designs at competitive prices. A 2018 report published by the U.S. Department of Commerce estimates the size of the plastic processing industry in India to be around US$ 15.6 billion, and this is expected to augur well for stakeholders in the plastic furniture market in South Asia in the upcoming years.

What are the Key Growth Drivers of Plastic Furniture Market?

The hunt for lightweight and affordable materials in the furniture industry is giving rise to the adoption of plastics in lieu of heavy-weight metals in modern furniture designs. Owing to the high-performance material properties of plastic, the demand for plastic furniture is likely to surge rapidly in the upcoming years.

Scientists and researchers are exploring potential for improving characteristics of thermoplastics in order to enable plastic furniture manufacturers to reduce manufacturing costs and offer unique designs to leverage the increasing sales potential of plastic furniture.

Manufacturers in the plastic furniture market are modifying their business strategies to capitalize on the growth of the e-commerce industry as a potential distribution channel, as millennial consumers are highly inclined towards purchasing furniture online.

With the growing awareness about the negative impacts of plastic pollution on the environment, the adoption of recycled plastic materials is expected to increase in the plastic furniture market..

What are the Key Challenges in the Plastic Furniture Market?

The scope for introducing innovative colors and designs is limited in plastic materials in comparison with their alternatives, such as metal and wood, and this greatly restricts the choice of furniture for consumers, who are looking for elegant and dynamic furniture.

Plastic furniture lacks in terms of longevity with the tendency to fall apart or break. Increasing need for durable furniture, consumers are opting for traditional forms of furniture, lower costs of plastic furniture notwithstanding.

Molded Polypropylene will Remain the Most Sought-after Option for Plastic Furniture

Polypropylene accounted for nearly 50% revenue share of the plastic furniture market in 2018 and it will continue to witness high-demand in the coming decade, according to the Fact.MR study. Manufacturers identify polypropylene as an important plastic resin used in indoor as well as outdoor plastic upholstery, owing to its superior performance characteristics over other plastic resins used in plastic furniture.

Polypropylene is a recyclable, flexible, and durable plastic resin, which withstand higher temperatures than its alternatives in plastic furniture, such as high density polyethylene (HDPE) and polycarbonate (PC). Manufacturers are focusing their operations on developing high-performance polypropylene with the help of carbonate additives to achieve more energy saving, cost reduction, and improved durability of plastic furniture.
