Report ID : 1926 | Published : 2023-07-26 | Pages: 180 | Format: PDF/EXCEL

The global Plastics-To-Fuel (PTF) Market Size is valued at 569.13 million in 2022 and is predicted to reach 680.26 million by the year 2031 at a 2.1% CAGR during the forecast period for 2023-2031.

Plastics-To-Fuel (PTF) Market

Due to the need for a clean environment, there is an increasing demand for energy produced from garbage. Governments in several regions have started using plastic to make energy due to an increase in home and industrial garbage. In the upcoming years, the market should gain from favorable regulatory conditions mixed with government assistance in the form of tax benefits and financial incentives.

The usage of non-renewable energy sources is raising environmental concerns, which should restrain industry expansion. Market expansion should be fueled by the rising demand for recycling services in industrialized nations including the United States, Japan, the Netherlands, and Germany. Companies like Chevron and BP have developed methods for using plastic trash as fuel to produce and generate their energy.

Technologies that use plastic as fuel are opportunistic and reflect well on plastic manufacturers. However, the current situation of turning trash into fuel is less lucrative than that of producing conventional gasoline. Economies of scale are the main issue facing the market. Most producers have noticed that the quality of the feedstock has a significant impact on the quality of the fuel. Furthermore, the garbage gathered from urban areas is quite likely to contain food, organic materials, or other sorts of chemicals, which drives up the price of manufacture. Additionally, the requirements of the end user, the choice of depolymerization technique, and the kind and quality of feedstocks all play a significant role in the commercial viability of plastics-to-fuel. Such patterns could impede the market's expansion for plastics as fuel. 

Competitive Landscape:

Some of the Plastics-To-Fuel (PTF) market players are:

  • Vadxx
  • Plastic2Oils, Inc.
  • POLCYL
  • Nexus Fuels LLC
  • Klean Industries
  • Neste, Paterson Energy
  • CBS Technologies
  • Anhui Oursun Environmental Technologies 

Market Segmentation:

The Plastics-To-Fuel (PTF) market is segmented on the basis of source, de-polymerization, and fuel type. Based on source, the market is segmented as municipal solid waste, and industrial. The de-polymerization segment includes thermal degradation and catalytic degradation. By fuel type, the market is segmented into solid, liquid, and gaseous. 

Based On Source, The Municipal Solid Waste Segment Is Accounted As A Major Contributor In The Plastics-To-Fuel (PTF) Market

The municipal solid waste category is expected to hold a major share of the global Plastics-To-Fuel (PTF) market in 2022. The Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) segment's share of the global plastics-to-fuel market was above USD 85 million. The MSW segment will dominate the market in Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa because of the significant amount of waste produced by these two industries. Municipal solid plastic waste consumption patterns for industry fueling will be significantly impacted by the cost and availability of feedstock materials.

Liquid Fuel Segment Witnessed Growth At A Rapid Rate

The majority of the market for fuel made from plastic will be liquid. One tonne of plastic trash can be pyrolyzed to produce more than 100 gallons of fuel. However, several factors, such as feedstock contamination, process choice, etc., affect how much fuel is produced. Due to increased concerns about high quality and sustainability among plastic producers, many oil producers are concentrating on using plastics as fuel, which is boosting the industry's use of liquid fuel.

In The Region, The North America Plastics-To-Fuel (PTF) Market Holds Significant Revenue Share

The market was controlled by Asia Pacific. China, India, and Japan are predicted to have the highest demand for plastic as fuel. In the upcoming years, rising industrialization and urbanisation in this area are anticipated to drive market expansion. Over the forecast period, market expansion is anticipated to be fueled by favourable government regulations that expedite the development of renewable energy technologies. This rise in energy consumption is being supported by an expanding population, particularly in China and India.

The need for basic fuels such as power, transportation, and cooking fuel has been rising as the population has grown. These nations produce a remarkably large amount of plastic garbage. There is a plentiful supply of scrap plastic that can be used to produce fuel. During the projected period, these factors are anticipated to propel the market.
