Polymer Stabilizer Market Dynamics and Trends
Increasing demand for plastics in a wide range of industries is expected to drive the market for polymer stabilizer
The plastic industry contributes to the economic development and growth of various key sectors such as packaging, automotive, building & construction, electrical and electronics, agriculture, and others. For instance, agricultural films and plastics are designed for applications such as tunnels, greenhouses, mulches, and irrigation systems that require protection against extremely high temperatures, chemicals, and UV radiation used for crop protection.
In the automotive sector, high-performance plastics are vital, both inside and outside the vehicle: seats, roof linings, dashboards, steering wheels, fuel systems, headlamp covers, and other exterior parts that are exposed to extreme conditions of light and temperature.
Moreover, the building & construction industry uses plastic materials on an increasing scale to replace other materials in a wide variety of applications, including insulation, windows and doors, flooring, roofing, stadium seats, and gas and water pipes decking fencing, and others.
Hence, the growing demand for plastics in various industries is expected to proliferate the polymer stabilizer market over the forecast period of 2023-2031.
The high manufacturing cost of stabilizers is restraining the growth of the polymer stabilizer market.
The high manufacturing cost of the stabilizers is a hindrance to the polymer stabilizer market. The market is capital-intensive, and the price of labor and raw materials is also high. Manufacturing materials of polymer stabilizers are highly volatile and need to meet quality standards and government regulations. Moreover, the chemical risk involved during the production and recycling of plastics hinders plastic usage, which, in turn, impedes polymer stabilizers' growth.
Polymer Stabilizer Market Segmentation Analysis
By end-user, the polymer stabilizer market is segmented into packaging, automotive, building & construction, agriculture, electrical & electronics, synthetic textiles & fibers.
Packaging is one of the fastest-growing industries and is anticipated to maintain its position through the forecast period. According to industry analyst Smithers, packaging demand across the world reached US$917.1bn in 2019 and is anticipated to grow in the coming four years. Packaging products such as food items must survive extreme conditions like heat, light, and humidity without appearance changes and premature mechanical failure during the product's service life. The addition of polymer stabilizers is required to achieve this.
Moreover, polymer stabilizers are also widely used in agricultural packaging applications. Agricultural films and plastics are designed to protect against extreme temperatures, UV radiation, and chemicals required for crop protection. They are used in tunnels, mulches and irrigation systems, greenhouses and others. Hence, such increasing demand for plastic in various industries, including packaging, is expected to drive the market through the forecast period.
Polymer Stabilizer Market Geographical Share
The polymer stabilizer market is segmented into North America, Europe, the Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa.
Asia-Pacific dominates the market for polymer stabilizers owing to the rapidly developing packaging, automotive, and construction industries in the region. For instance, in China, real estate investment is mainly focused on the residential sector including the construction of commercial space, which is acting as the critical driver for the growth of the construction sector in China. In 2018, the real estate market's total sales reached almost 15 trillion Yuan and accounted for nearly 17 percent of China's GDP.
Moreover, infrastructural developments, a rise in the standard of living, and an increase in construction activities have augmented the usage of decking, pipes and fittings, and roofing, thereby boosting the polymer stabilizer demand used in these products. Countries such as China, Japan, and South Korea, the dominant automotive manufacturers in this region, drive the polymer stabilizer market.
Also, North America and Europe are anticipated to grow at a moderate rate during the forecast period.
