U.S.Plastic-to-fuel Market - Drivers & Trends
The global need for an alternative fuel technology due to depleting natural resources, and the increasing use of plastic are among the key drivers of the Plastic-to-fuel Market. Increasing waste plastic generation necessitates for recycling technology, which reduces landfill waste in addition to converting waste into combustible fuel meeting environmental standards.
Abundant raw material availability coupled with their low cost (sometimes zero cost) attracts more players in this market. However, complexities in the conversion technology, as well as high initial setup cost for plastic to fuel conversion facility, are witnessed as key constraints for the growth of the U.S. plastic-to-fuel Market
U.S. Plastic-to-fuel Market Segmentation by End Product
The U.S. plastic-to-fuel market is poised to reach a valuation of US$ 98.26 million in 2020 from US$ 42.78 million in 2015. The market is expected to witness a CAGR of about 6.79% through 2016 to 2020. The fuels produced using conversion technologies are further sub-segmented as crude oil and diesel, wherein crude oil is anticipated to account for leading market share in 2015.
Plastic-to-fuel conversion technologies primarily include pyrolysis, depolymerisation and gasification. Key players in plastic-to-fuel market utilize pyrolysis technology to convert waste plastic into fuel. However, all the players are have incorporated certain modifications in the process, which they have patented as a proprietary technology.
In some of the processes, pre-processing of waste plastic is necessary, however, market players are developing technologies in order to reduce pre-processing. This is due to the fact that pre-processing incurs costs and in order to increase the profit margin, pre-processing costs needs to be minimum.
