Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) :
The application of the plastic additives market Packaging, Construction, Consumer Goods, and Automotive
The market value of plastic additives market in 2028 was USD 75.2 BILLION
The base year for the report is 2023 in plastic additives market.
High demand from the automotive and packaging industries is expected to drive the market demand in North America. The plasticizer increases the rigidity of plastic and acts as a plastic modifier. The second-largest market of plasticizers is covered by flame retardants followed by impact modifiers. The demand for plastic products is increasing day by day due to its multiple, cost-effective, and efficient applications. Plastic products are used in various forms in a market. Additives enhance the property of plastics and make them safer, cleaner, tougher, heat and UV resistant, and antimicrobial. Furthermore, stringent food, environmental, and medical regulations by regulatory bodies including the EPA and FDA are expected to contribute to high market demand in the coming years. Emerging economies of Asia and South America such as China, India, and Brazil are witnessing high industrial output due to increased economic activity, which, in turn, is giving rise to manufacturing sector growth. Major corporations that are dominant in North America and Europe are gradually shifting their plastics production capabilities to cater to high potential markets in the Asia Pacific and South America. This factor is expected to drive additive consumption in the respective regions.
Packaging is a process to preserve and protect the quality and shelf-life of different products, such as electronic goods, medicines & drugs, processed & semi-processed foods, and hardware items. The major drivers that aid the growth of the packaging industry are rapid urbanization, changing consumer lifestyle, economic trends, rising health awareness among different classes of consumers, and development in packaging material & technology. The various properties of plastics, such as durability; low cost; resistance to corrosion and water & chemicals; low thermal conductivity; and others make it suitable for use in various applications. The rise in the use of plastics in heavy and light packing drives the demand for plastic additives. The demand for plasticizers, flame-retardant, and stabilizers is growing with the increasing demand for plastics in packaging.
Rising industrial output and increased economic activity in emerging economies of Asia and South America are expected to drive the global industry over the forecast period. Regulatory bodies such as the European Commission (EU) amended acts such as the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) to regulate and control plasticizers, flame retardants, and other additives owing to adverse effects on human health and the environment. The growing packaging industry coupled with the increased demand from the retail industry drives the market of plastic additives in the region. Polymer industries are witnessing high growth in developing nations such as India and Brazil due to their growing economies. The Middle East & Africa is projected to be the second-fastest-growing market for plastic additives between 2021 and 2028. This growth is attributed to rising packaging and automotive sectors in the region.
