Manufacturers to Shift Away from Plastics

Influenced by their excellent barrier aspects, market players continue to prefer plastics such as polyurethane (PU) and polypropylene (PP) for manufacturing mobile cases and covers. Although plastics are abundant and cheap, their excessive adoption is adversely affecting the ecosystem, and, as such, is leading to strict regulations against their usage. In order to secure revenue to compete on a global landscape, market players are turning to alternatives such as leather and silicone, which are expected to witness adoption upsurge in the near term.
