Market Definition

Rotomolding is a production process to form hollow parts of limitless size. This is a cost-effective method to produce large plastic parts. Resins are added into a mold that’s heated and rotated slowly, both vertically and horizontally. The simultaneous heating and rotation distribute and fuses the resin on the inner surfaces of the mold. The result is a product that contains seamless parts with a uniform wall thickness with more material in corners to absorb shocks and stresses where they occur most.

Global Rotomolding Products Market Dynamics

This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints, and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail below:

Drivers:

• Rising acceptance of rotomolded products such as containers and pallets in material handling and packaging applications

Material handling and packaging is among the five interconnected logistical roles that contribute significantly to logistics. The transportation, storage, control, and protection of materials, products, and packaged items during the manufacturing, distribution, and disposal processes are all part of material handling. Packaging serves a crucial purpose in enclosing materials and goods for distribution and transportation. They are important to improve customer service, minimize costs, and lower the chance of accidents and damage. The products manufactured through rotomolding technology offer affordable, safe, and durable solutions for material handling and packaging applications in various industries. They too have a high load bearing capacity because of their seamless, one-part design. Rotationally molded components are also a better alternative to conventional steel parts. Rotational molding is the ideal process for producing parts and components that may be utilized for collecting, storing, or moving nearly any substance due to its lower weight, improved corrosion resistance, and joint-free manufacture.

• Positive outlook toward the construction sector

The construction sector is associated with the building, repair, renovation, and maintenance of infrastructures. The construction industry contributes to the nation's socioeconomic development and economic growth. The construction industry generates activity and employment in other areas of the economy such as manufacturing, logistics, trade, and financial services. Population growth, growing urbanization, housing market, and infrastructure development are the key drivers of the construction industry.

The construction industry has the potential to be a major driving force in the expansion of rotomolded products. Rotomolded products have a wide range of applications in building construction projects such as water storage tanks and septic tanks among others. Moreover, products such as barricades and traffic cones that are used in the construction of roads and highways are also manufactured through rotomolding technology. Such products are durable, corrosion resistant, and require low maintenance which makes them ideal for infrastructure applications. Moreover, due to the light weight of products such as barricades and traffic cones, they are easy to carry which leads to lower fuel costs for the end user. In addition to it, they are easy to transport and relocate when compared to other products made from materials such as metal. The growing focus on developing efficient and long-lasting infrastructure adds up to the application growth of rotomolded products in the construction sector.

RESTRAINTS/ CHALLENGES

• Limitation regarding the processing of other materials namely metals and ceramics

Rotomolding technology is used to process thermoplastic polymeric materials like polyethylene and polypropylene. Moreover, the raw material used in the formation of rotomolding products be easily converted from granules to fine powder and should have high thermal stability. This limits the material selection to only poly-based resins in the formation of rotomolded products. The high thermal stability requirement leads to the high cost of raw materials and the expense of grinding material into powder to rise.

Although rotomolding offers various advantages when plastic based products are processed, however, it faces restraints while processing other materials such as metals and ceramics. They have high melting points compared to polymers, therefore offering a disadvantage because metal and ceramics require high temperatures. Ceramics and metals too have high structural strength and weight bearing capability that is less seen in rotomolded plastics.  The metals and ceramics too have high heat resistance and thermal conductivity, therefore used in industrial applications where heat and thermal resistant properties are required. Hence, the inability to process materials such as metals and ceramics through rotomolding technology limits the growth of the Asia-Pacific rotomolding products market.

• Stringent rules and regulations aimed for polymers processing

There are various stringent rules and regulations imposed by various government organizations and international authorities related to the polymers that are used in the rotomolding process. These rules, regulations, and standards are made so that the industries follow them to ensure the health and safety of workers and consumers. A few of the regulations related to the polymers used for the production of rotomolding products are as follows:

OPPORTUNITIES

• Possibility of inclusion of new printing and labeling technologies

Over time, new label demands from customers and changing market dynamics will influence the choice of printed label type and new label technological developments. The packaging industry and its customers are constantly working to reduce the weight of product packaging, either by employing smaller rigid containers made of metal, glass, or plastic or by transitioning to flexible plastic formats. Labeling is essential for the manufacturing process. Labels can be used for product identification, warehouse labeling, and tracking things along the supply chain. Labels also help to boost consumer satisfaction by providing correct information about a product or service. Manufacturers ensure that end users, such as customers, may make educated purchasing decisions by properly identifying a product or service with labels.

• Increasing Access to Bio-Based Polymers

Bio-based polymers are polymers that are produced from sustainable resources such as agricultural waste, plant-based feedstock, or biodegradable materials. They have numerous environmental benefits that consist of low usage of fossil fuels, less production of plastic waste, and a low carbon footprint. The use of such polymers will also help to overcome regulations set up by the government authorities over polymers such as polyethylene and polypropylene. Moreover, consumers are getting aware of the side effects of plastics, therefore there has been an increase in consumer shift towards environmentally friendly polymers.
