Polycarbonate Sheets Market Outlook:
Polycarbonate Sheets Market size was over USD 4.17 billion in 2025 and is poised to exceed USD 7.06 billion by 2035, witnessing over 5.4% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2026-2035. In the year 2026, the industry size of polycarbonate sheets is estimated at USD 4.37 billion.
The reason behind the growth is impelled by the growing demand for polycarbonates (PC) by end-use industries. As its peculiar features provide design freedom to product designers, engineers, and OEMs of various industries, PC becomes suitable for use in several applications such as appliances, automotive industry, consumer products, electrical & electronics, and other applications. It was found that in 2020, the total global demand for polycarbonates was little more than 4 million metric tons, whereas it reached 4.51 million metric tons in 2022.
The rise in research and development and collaboration between major key players to manufacture more sustainable thermoplastics such as polycarbonate are believed to fuel the market growth. For instance, a joint study proposal selected by Japan’s New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO), joined by many stakeholders and managed by Tosoh Corporation and Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Company, Inc. collaborated to reduce CO2 emissions during the manufacture of polycarbonate and polyurethane. The aim is to eliminate the usage of conventional raw material phosgene from the process.
