Lightweight Materials, Modular Building, and Sustainability Push Global Construction Plastics Market to US$194.4 Billion by 2032

Tuesday Nov 25, 2025

Industry Experts, Inc. has introduced its latest market research publication, "Global Construction Plastics Market - Plastic Types, Applications and End-Use Sectors," projecting that worldwide market revenues will advance from US$122 billion in 2025 to US$194.4 billion by 2032, registering a 6.9% CAGR during the 2025-2032 period. Growth is being propelled by accelerating urban development, infrastructure modernization, and the rising preference for lightweight, durable, and cost-efficient materials across residential and non-residential projects. The report highlights the expanding adoption of plastics such as PVC, PE, PP, EPS, polycarbonates, acrylics, and composites, valued for corrosion resistance, design flexibility, energy efficiency, and ease of installation.

Among material types, Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) dominates the global landscape with a 36.4% share in 2025, driven by its wide use in piping, windows, flooring, roofing, and cable insulation. Polyethylene (PE) is set to post the fastest CAGR of 7.5%, supported by sustainability-aligned applications in piping, insulation, and roofing, alongside advances in recyclability and natural gas-based production. Piping & Ducting represents the largest and fastest-growing application, capturing 34.3% of global demand in 2025 and forecast to expand at 7.2% CAGR, bolstered by rapid installation requirements, HVAC upgrades, modular construction, and water-infrastructure expansion. By end-use sector, Residential construction leads with a 53.7% share in 2025, while Non-Residential construction will grow the fastest at a 7.3% CAGR, supported by commercial, industrial, and public-infrastructure investment.

Regionally, Asia-Pacific holds the largest and fastest-expanding position, accounting for 44.3% of global demand in 2025 and projected to grow at 7.2% CAGR through 2032. Massive housing programs, smart-city initiatives, and robust regional petrochemical capacity underpin this growth, with China, India, and Southeast Asia driving material uptake across new builds and retrofitting projects.

The report segments the global Construction Plastics market by plastic type (PE, PP, PS, PU, PVC, and others), application (doors & windows, insulation, piping & ducting, roofing, and others), and end-use sector (residential, non-residential) across five major geographic regions. It includes profiles of more than 30 key companies, such as BASF, SABIC, LyondellBasell, Dow, ExxonMobil, Arkema, Covestro, LG Chem, INEOS, Reliance Industries, Mitsubishi Chemical, and Westlake.
