Market Overview

The Japan construction plastics sector is part of the building sector, focusing on producing and utilizing many kinds of plastic materials, from structural to non-structural, in residential, industrial, commercial, and infrastructure construction projects. Construction plastics are utilized within the following categories such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and Polycarbonate (PC). They are used in pipes, insulation, roofing, window profiles, and cables. The primary factor that drives the Japanese construction plastics industry is consumers’ desire for lightweight, durable, and cost-effective materials, sustainable offerings, and smart building integration. The current Japan construction plastics industry will continue to evolve as it develops high-performance, sustainable, and smart products to meet the government's urban redevelopment, smart city initiative, and seismic resilience needs. The market for advanced plastics will continue to grow due to the emerging energy-efficient building envelopes, resilience infrastructure, and durable, low-maintenance residential and non-residential construction. The government is creating policies to promote resource circulation and a circular plastics economy, such as establishing the Ministerial Council on Circular Economy and approving a "Policy Package for Accelerating the Transition to a Circular Economy".
