Australia`s import trend for polycarbonate (PC) and polycarbonate/acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (PC/ABS) in the IT server market showed a growth rate of 19.91% from 2023 to 2024. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for 2020-2024 stood at 1.68%. This growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for IT servers and advancements in technology driving the need for high-quality materials in server manufacturing.
The application of PC and PC-ABS in IT server casings and enclosures is growing as Australia modernizes its data infrastructure. These materials offer high heat resistance and impact strength, which are vital for server environments. Growth in cloud computing and data center investment underpins the material demand.
The use of PC and PCABS in Australia`s IT server market is expanding as these materials offer excellent mechanical strength, heat resistance, and dimensional stability. The push for data center modernization and the construction of new server farms are creating a trend toward high-performance plastic components for housings and structural parts.
In the IT server sector, challenges for PC and PCABS plastics stem from the increasing demand for materials that can withstand higher thermal and mechanical stresses while maintaining regulatory compliance for fire resistance. Price sensitivity in the hardware sector also forces suppliers to tightly control manufacturing costs.
The demand for high-performance plastics in IT servers is rising due to the rapid expansion of data centers in Australia. Investments in polycarbonate and PC/ABS production, customized for electronic applications, can benefit from this digital transformation trend. Opportunities lie in producing fire-retardant, thermally stable enclosures and server components.
Government initiatives promoting local IT infrastructure development and cybersecurity resilience indirectly support demand for durable polycarbonate and PC-ABS components in IT servers. Regulatory requirements under the Telecommunications and Other Legislation Amendment (Assistance and Access) Act also influence IT hardware specifications and material safety standards.
