Therefore, from the perspective of application, it can be said that they have broad prospects.
At present, the proportion of modified plastics in China (10%) is far lower than the international level (20%), mainly due to the late start of domestic enterprises and the low market share; however, with the lightweight of automobiles and the upgrading of household appliances consumption, it can be said that favorable factors will break out in the next few years. Therefore, from the current situation, the high demand for modified plastics can be sustained, and the development prospects are very broad.
