Plastic Antioxidants Market worth $2.6 billion by 2025

The plastic antioxidants market is projected to reach USD 2.6 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 5.3% from USD 2.0 billion in 2020. Antioxidants are stabilizing agents that inhibit the process of oxidation by reacting and decomposing the reactive species. They protect plastics and other materials against thermally induced oxidation. Antioxidants that are used in plastics include primary antioxidants and secondary antioxidants. Different types of antioxidants provide different levels of reactivity as a function of temperature and also react and decompose the different radical intermediates in the oxidation process, thereby providing thermal stability to plastics.

PP is the largest polymer resin segment of the plastic antioxidants market. Asia Pacific was the largest market for plastic antioxidants in 2019, in terms of both volume and value. Factors such as plastics replacing conventional materials, increasing demand in medical industry, and rapid urbanization in developing countries will drive the plastic antioxidants market.

Phosphite & Phophonite are projected to be the fastest growing type in the plastic antioxidants market

Phosphites & phosphonites are phosphorus-based secondary antioxidants. Secondary antioxidants are known as hydroperoxide decomposers as they react with hydroperoxides to produce non-radical products. They are used in combination with primary antioxidants. Phosphites & phosphonites are among the most effective stabilizers, as they protect both primary antioxidants and the polymers during processing. Hydrolytically stable phosphites & phosphonites are generally the most frequently used polymer stabilizers. Strong demand for plastics in applications, such as automotive and construction are driving the demand for phophites & phophonites. This plays a key role in driving the plastic antioxidants market in this region. China and Japan house major players in electronics, automotive, and consumer goods. These industries generate high demand for plastics, and in turn, high demand for plastic antioxidants.

The PP estimated to be the largest polymer resin segment of the plastic antioxidants market

PP is a thermoplastic polymer with the presence of tertiary carbon atoms. The presence of tertiary carbon atoms makes it susceptible to oxidation and thermal degradation at high temperatures. Polypropylene is processed at temperatures between 428°F and 536°F, and under these conditions, it degrades to form low molecular weight products. Thus, antioxidants are added to PP to stabilize it. Antioxidants are added during the manufacturing process and palletizing. The commonly used antioxidant for PP is butylated hydroxyl-toluene (BHT), which is used as a primary antioxidant, and phosphite & phosphonite, used as secondary antioxidants. Blends of thioesters and phenol antioxidants are also used. Polypropylene is used in packaging & labeling, automotive components, stationery, plastic parts, reusable containers, laboratory equipment, and loudspeakers.

APAC projected to be fastest growing region for the plastic antioxidants market

The region is characterized by a growing population and economic developments. The increasing population in the region, accompanied by increasing construction spending in the developing markets of China, India, and Indonesia, is projected to make this region an ideal destination for the plastic industry. This, in turn, is expected to drive the plastic antioxidants industry in the near future. The increase in employment rate, the rise in disposable income of the people, and an increase in foreign investments in various industries of the economy are some of the other factors that make APAC an attractive market for plastic antioxidants manufacturers.

Untapped Opportunities in the Agricultural Sector of developing countries

 

Plastics are used in mulch films, greenhouse film covers, shades, netting, and silage strap wrap in the agricultural sector. The plastics used in the agriculture sector provide high light transmission to promote the growth of plants. Agricultural plastics need to be able to withstand high solar radiation and mechanical stress. Therefore, antioxidants are used to provide processing and thermal stability and discoloration resistance to agricultural plastics. Countries such as India have not explored the benefits of plastics in the agricultural industry. According to the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry, in 2013, the global average demand for plastics in the agricultural industry was 8%, and in India, it was 2%. Thus, there is a strong growth opportunity for stakeholders in the plastic antioxidants market in India.

The plastic antioxidants market is projected to reach USD 2.6 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 5.3% from USD 2.0 billion in 2020.

Plastics gaining preference over conventional materials

 

Antioxidants are used in a wide range of polymers such as PE, PP, and PVC. These plastics are used in industries such as packaging, building & construction, and automotive. Plastics have superior mechanical and electrical properties, enhanced abrasion resistance, and superior chemical resistance than conventional materials such as metals, glass, paper, and ceramic. Continuous innovation and the need for more lightweight materials in several industries have led to the replacement of metals, glass, paper, and ceramic with plastics in packaging, building & construction, and automotive industries. This is expected to drive the market for plastic antioxidants.

In the automotive industry, particularly in automobile designing, plastics have contributed to several innovations in safety, fuel efficiency, and performance. For instance, airbags made from high-strength polymer fabric can reduce the risk of fatal injury in a direct, frontal car crash. Other advancements include child safety seats, roof linings, steering wheel, dashboard, fenders, as well as fuel system, headlamp covers, and other exterior parts that are directly exposed to heat and light.

The plastic antioxidants market size is estimated to be USD 2.0 billion in 2020 and is expected to reach USD 2.6 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 5.3% during the forecast period. Factors such as plastics replacing conventional materials, increasing demand in medical industry, and rapid urbanization in developing countries will drive the plastic antioxidants market. The major restraint for the market will be adverse effect on health from synthetic plastics antioxidants.

Phenolic antioxidant is estimated to be the largest type in 2019.

Antioxidants are classified on the basis of their ability to interrupt the overall oxidation process. Chain breaking and preventive mechanisms are the two major antioxidant mechanisms that interfere with polymer oxidation cycles. The two classes of antioxidants identified are chain-breaking or primary antioxidants and preventive or secondary antioxidants. Primary antioxidants react rapidly and are, therefore, referred to as radical scavengers. Phenolic antioxidants are primary antioxidants, which interfere with chain propagation by terminating the free radical. They are used for plastics or polymer systems that are sensitive to thermal and oxidative degradation due to the formation of peroxides and free radicals. Phenolic antioxidants protect plastics or other polymers against degradation and oxidation at high processing temperatures.

The region is characterized by a growing population and economic developments. The increasing population in the region, accompanied by increasing construction spending in the developing markets of China, India, and Indonesia, is projected to make this region an ideal destination for the plastic industry. This, in turn, is expected to drive the plastic antioxidants industry in the near future. The increase in employment rate, the rise in disposable income of the people, and an increase in foreign investments in various industries of the economy are some of the other factors that make APAC an attractive market for plastic antioxidants manufacturers.
