The Americas plastic compounding market is expected to reach USD 19.11 billion by 2024, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The shift in trend towards lightweight composites to lower vehicular weight and thereby foster fuel savings & lower carbon emission levels are anticipated to drive demand.
