The study involved four major activities in estimating the current market size for polycarbonate resin. Exhaustive secondary research was done to collect information on the market, peer market, and parent market. The next step was to validate these findings, assumptions, and sizing with industry experts across the value chain through primary research. Both top-down and bottom-up approaches were employed to estimate the complete market size. After that, the market breakdown and data triangulation methodologies were used to estimate the market size of segments and sub-segments.
Secondary Research
In the secondary research process, various sources have been referred to for identifying and collecting information for this study. The secondary sources include annual reports, press releases, and investor presentations of companies; white papers, journals, and certified publications; and articles from recognized authors, directories, and databases. Secondary data has been collected and analyzed to arrive at the overall market size, which is further validated by primary research. Secondary research has been used to obtain key information about the value chain of the industry, monetary chain of the market, the total pool of key players, market classification and segmentation according to industry trends to the bottom-most level, and regional markets. It was also used to obtain information about the key developments from a market-oriented perspective.
Primary Research
The polycarbonate resin market involves a variety of stakeholders across the value chain, including raw material suppliers, manufacturers, and end-users. For this study, both the supply and demand sides of the market were interviewed to gather qualitative and quantitative information. Key opinion leaders from various end-use sectors were interviewed from the demand side, while manufacturers and associations were interviewed from the supply side.
Primary interviews helped to gather insights on market statistics, revenue data, market breakdowns, market size estimations, market forecasting, and data triangulation. Primary research also helped to identify trends related to grade, application, end-use industries, and region. C-level executives from the demand side, such as CIOs, CTOs, and CSOs, were interviewed to understand their perspective on suppliers, products, and component providers, which will affect the overall market.
Breakdown of primary interviews
Note: Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 companies are classified based on their market revenue in 2023 available in the public domain, product portfolios, and geographical presence.
Other designations include sales representatives, production heads, and technicians.

Data Triangulation
After arriving at the overall market size—using the market size estimation process explained above—the market was split into several segments and sub-segments. To complete the overall market engineering process and arrive at the exact statistics of each market segment and sub-segment, the data triangulation, and market breakdown procedures were employed, wherever applicable. The data was triangulated by studying various factors and trends from both the demand and supply of polycarbonate resin and their applications.
Market Definition
Polycarbonate (PC) is a transparent thermoplastic featuring carbonate functional groups. Polycarbonate is one of the most dominant engineering plastics with properties, such as high impact strength, electrical non-conductivity, good heat resistance, high transparency, and flame retardancy, which make polycarbonate resin a versatile material and are responsible for its continuously expanding use in various applications. The high recyclability of polycarbonate resin also makes it an environmentally friendly material.
