Plastic Extrusion Molded Parts Market Challenge

Fluctuating prices of raw materials may confine the market growth

Some of the raw materials used in plastic extrusion molded parts are obtained from crude oil. As a result, fluctuations in the prices of crude oil may hinder the growth of the market. For instance, in 2020, the international benchmark for petroleum prices across the world also known as Brent crude prices decreased to US$9.12 per barrel, which was the lowest record since December 10, 1998. Likewise, in April 2020, India’s Crude Oil Basket (COB) reached US$19.90 per barrel, which was the lowest record since February 2002. During the first 11 months of the year 2020-21, the average annual price of India’s COB was around US$42.72 per barrel, which decreased by 30% more than the average COB price in 2019-20. Furthermore, as per revised estimates for 2020-21, the COB has increased by around 35% from its initial budget estimate. In this way, such uncertainty regarding the price of crude oil may affect the prices of raw materials that are used in the production of plastic extrusion molded parts. Thus, such instability and fluctuating prices of raw materials may limit the growth of the plastic extrusion molded parts industry during the forecast period.
