Njengemakethe yokugcina, ukwakhiwa bekulokhu kungomunye wabathengi abakhulu bepulasitiki nezinhlanganisela ze-polymer. Uhla lwezicelo lubanzi kakhulu, kusukela ophahleni, amadekhi, amaphaneli odonga, uthango kanye nezinto zokufakelwa amapayipi, phansi, ama-solar panel, iminyango namafasitela nokunye.                                                                                      

                                                  Ipayipi lepulasitiki elingasindi kulula ukulifaka, ukusebenza nokuligcina. Ukuguquguquka kwepulasitiki kusho nokuthi amapayipi epulasitiki angakwazi ukubhekana nokunyakaza komhlabathi.

Ucwaningo lwemakethe lwango-2018 olwenziwa yi-Grand View Research lwenza umkhakha womhlaba wonke ube yigugu ku-$102.2 billion ngo-2017 futhi wabikezela ukuthi uzokhula ngesilinganiso sokukhula sonyaka esihlanganisiwe samaphesenti angu-7.3 kuya ku-2025. I-PlasticsEurope, okwamanje, ilinganisela ukuthi umkhakha waseYurophu udla amathani angama-metric ayizigidi eziyishumi zamapulasitiki unyaka ngamunye, noma cishe ingxenye eyodwa kwezinhlanu zepulasitiki ezisetshenziswa esifundeni esisodwa.

Imininingwane yakamuva yeCensus Bureau yase-US ikhombisa ukuthi ukwakhiwa kwezindawo zokuhlala ezizimele zase-US bekulokhu kukhuphuka kusukela ehlobo eledlule, ngemuva kokuwohloka kusukela ngoMashi kuya kuMeyi njengoba umnotho wehla ngenxa yalolu bhubhane. I-uptick iqhubekile phakathi no-2020 futhi, ngoDisemba, izindleko zokwakha izindlu ezizimele zikhuphuke ngamaphesenti angu-21.5 kusukela ngoDisemba 2019. Imakethe yezindlu yase-US - eqiniswe ngamanani entengo yemali ebolekiwe - kulindeleke ukuthi iqhubeke nokukhula kulo nyaka, ngokusho kweNational Association of Home Builders, kodwa ngenani eliphansi kunangonyaka odlule.

Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi, ihlala iyimakethe enkulu yemikhiqizo yepulasitiki. Ekwakhiweni, izinhlelo zokusebenza zivame ukubiza ukuqina futhi zibe nempilo ende, ngezinye izikhathi zihlala zisetshenziswa iminyaka eminingana, uma kungenjalo amashumi eminyaka. Cabanga ngamafasitela e-PVC, ama-siding noma ama-flooring, noma amapayipi amanzi e-polyethylene nokunye okunjalo. Kodwa noma kunjalo, ukusimama kuphambili futhi kuyisizinda sezinkampani ezithuthukisa imikhiqizo emisha yale makethe. Inhloso iwukuba kokubili ukunciphisa imfucuza ngesikhathi sokukhiqiza, kanye nokuhlanganisa okuqukethwe okwengeziwe okugaywe kabusha emikhiqizweni efana nokufulela nokuhlobisa.

                                                                                                                                                         

                                                                                                                                            02 Amathayili e-vinyl e-Luxury ahamba phambili njengenketho yokubeka phansi

I-flooring ingenye yokusetshenziswa kokuphela okukhula ngokushesha kwe-vinyl ekwakhiweni kwezindawo zokuhlala nezokuhweba. Nakuba i-vinyl ye-utilitarian ebukeka eshibhile isetshenziswe phansi iminyaka eminingi, izindlela ezintsha zokukhiqiza zisiza ukuphakamisa izinga nesithombe somkhiqizo ukuze ukwazi ukulingisa ngokuseduze ukuqedwa kokhuni noma kwamatshe kuyilapho kusathambile ngaphansi kwezinyawo, ihlala isikhathi eside futhi kulula ukuyihlanza.Ucwaningo lwemakethe olulodwa lwango-2019 luphrojekthi imakethe yaphansi ye-luxury vinyl tiles (LVT) ukuthi ikhule isuka ku-$18 billion ngo-2019 iye ku-$31.4 billion ngo-2024, ibhalise izinga lokukhula lonyaka elihlanganisiwe lamaphesenti angu-11.7 kusukela ngo-2019 kuya ku-2024.▲Ngokwenani nenani, ngesikhathi sokubikezela kusukela ngo-2019 kuya ku-2024, kulinganiselwa ukuthi isifunda sase-Asia-Pacific sizothatha isabelo esikhulu kunazo zonke semakethe yaphansi ye-luxury vinyl tile (LVT).
