Asia-Pacific Plastic to Fuel Market

The plastic to fuel market in Asia Pacific is expected to grow from US$ 1,554.95 million in 2022 to US$ 4,387.33 million by 2028. It is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 18.9% from 2022 to 2028. 

Increasing Energy Requirement

Electricity is at the heart of modern economies, and it accounts for an increasing proportion of energy services. As a result of increased family incomes, electrification of transportation and heat, and a rise in demand for digital linked gadgets and air conditioning, the energy demand is expected to rise even more. Based on the current stated policies Scenario, the global electricity consumption will grow at a rate of 2.1% per year until 2040, more than double the rate of primary energy demand. As a result, electricity's share of total final energy consumption will increase from 19% in 2018 to 24% in 2040. In emerging nations, the increase in energy consumption is projected to be particularly large. Government policies, market conditions, and available technology all work together in the Stated Policies Scenario to shift energy supply toward low-carbon sources, with their share growing from 36% (current share) to 52% in 2040. Furthermore, the rising electricity demand was one of the main reasons why global CO2 emissions from the power sector reached a new high in 2018. However, the commercial availability of a diverse range of low-emission generation technologies places electricity at the forefront of efforts to combat climate change and pollution, which is increasing the demand for alternate solutions, thereby resulting in PTF market expansion.

Market Overview

Australia, China, India, Japan, South Korea, and rest of Asia Pacific are the key contributors to the plastic to fuel market in the Asia Pacific. China alone produces 59,079,741 tons of plastic every year. These plastic wastes are either dumped into landfills or the ocean, thereby populating the environment and leaving long-term adverse impacts worldwide. Moreover, Asia Pacific accounts for the major share in marine plastic pollution with major contributors such as China, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, and the Philippines. Inefficient waste management infrastructure and the lack of awareness regarding the adverse impact of single-use plastic are the main reasons contributing to the rise in plastic waste across the region. The rising investments by both the governments and private organizations to promote recycling of plastic to further reusable materials are propelling the growth of the Asia Pacific plastic to fuel market across the region. In 2020, Circulate Capital, an investment management organization, announced its investment of US$ 19 million in four privately held Indian recycling companies – Srichakra Polyplast, Dalmia Polypro Industries, Deeya Panel Products, and Rapidue Technologies. Similarly, in 2020, Circulate Capital Ocean Fund (CCOF) invested US$ 39 million to create the largest investment portfolio devoted to fighting ocean plastic waste across India. Hence, constant investments by government and private companies to fight the adverse impact of plastic across countries in Asia Pacific are expected to contribute to the growth of the market. Owing to the rise in investments in plastic waste recycling across the region, plastic to fuel market players is also investing in expanding their business across the region. Moreover, local companies are investing in the market. For instance, Singapore-based Environmental Solutions (Asia) Pte Ltd offers plastic to fuel services in the country. Similarly, with the help of pyrolysis technology, newoil converts millions of tons of plastic every year. In 2020, the company announced its plan to convert 20,000 tons of plastic waste into diesel fuel for transportation applications across Singapore.
