Thermosetting plastics are polymers that irreversibly harden when heated. In the UAE, they are widely used in automotive, construction, electronics, and aerospace applications due to their durability, heat resistance, and structural integrity.
Key growth drivers include increasing demand from the automotive sector, rising construction activities, technological advancements in manufacturing, and a growing awareness of sustainable materials among consumers and businesses.
The market faces challenges such as high raw material costs, stringent environmental regulations, competition from alternative materials, and limited recycling options, which can hinder growth and sustainability efforts.
Opportunities include expansion into emerging markets, development of bio-based thermosetting plastics, increasing use in electronics, and collaborations with research institutions to innovate and improve product offerings.
The UAE government implements waste management policies, sets standards for product safety and quality, provides incentives for sustainable practices, and regulates chemical usage to ensure environmental protection and public safety.
