It helps in reducing the weight of vehicles by the lightness of its components in comparison to other materials. PVC is also less expensive as compared to other plastics.

The APA market is classified on the basis of fabrication into extrusion, injection molding, and others. Extrusion is expected to be the fastest-growing fabrication process segment of the APA market between 2016 and 2026. Extrusion is used to process high volume of plastics. The pellets, granules, flakes, or powders are fed into the extrusion machine and melted under high temperature (depending upon the type of plastic to be extruded).

The APA market is segmented on the basis of end-use industry into building & construction, packaging, consumer goods, automotive, and others. The building & construction industry is expected to be the largest and fastest-growing end-use industry for APA between 2016 and 2026. The demand for APA in this industry is expected to increase mainly due to the increasing demand for strong, flexible, chemical & oil resistive, and cost-effective building & construction products such as, pipes, flooring, roofing, windows & doors, containers, trimboard, and others.

The APA market is segmented on the basis of region into Asia-Pacific, Europe, North America, Middle East & Africa, and South America. Currently, Asia-Pacific is the largest market for APA.
