senior management with the critical information they need to assess the global Plastic Materials And
Resins market and compare it with other markets and across geographies.
Market Characteristics
Resins are organic compounds consisting of a non-crystalline or viscous liquid substance.
Natural resins are typically fusible and flammable organic substances that are transparent or translucent
and are yellowish to brown in color. Some examples of resins include frankincense, myrrh and benzoin.
Plastic is a material consisting of any of a wide range of synthetic or semi-synthetic organics that
are malleable and can be molded into solid objects of diverse shapes. Due to their relatively low cost,
ease of manufacture, versatility, and rigidity to water, plastics are used in an enormous and expanding
range of products, from paper clips to spaceships. Some examples of plastic materials include
polyethylene terephthalate and polyvinyl chlorides.
