India has become the world's fastest-growing polymer compound market, accounting for 13% of a USD 75 billion global industry, according to a Crisil report. The domestic sector is expected to grow from USD 9.9 billion in 2025 to USD 16.5 billion by FY2031.
Growth is driven by demand from automotive, power cables, telecom cables, water pipelines, and oil and gas pipelines segments. Crisil attributes the expansion to rapid development in electricity networks, 5G fiberisation, water grids, and city gas and oil pipelines. The global polymer compounding market is expected to reach USD 109.80 billion by 2031.
All three sources carry identical wire copy from PTI, offering uniform neutral reporting based on the Crisil report. The Economic Times, Rediff, and BusinessLine each present the same figures, the same projections, and the same quote from Karan Aggarwal of BLS Polymers. There is no variation in framing or stance. The coverage is straight factual reporting of a market forecast. The key takeaway is the Crisil projection that the Indian industry will more than double from USD 5.97 billion in 2019 to an estimated USD 10.73 billion by the end of 2026.
