Pune, India, November 2018/MRFR Press Release/- Market Research Future has published a half-cooked research report on the Global Specialty Plasticizer Market.

Market Insights

Specialty plasticizers are a kind of additive which increase the plasticity and/or flexibility of a material they are added to. Their high performance properties make them a popular choice for a number of products. Market Research Future has published its newest report on the global specialty plasticizer market which includes a number of important facts and figures which govern market growth. The global specialty plasticizer market is anticipated to grow at a sluggish, yet consistent CAGR of 3% during the forecast period from 2022 to 2030. At this rate, the market is likely to expand and reach an evaluation of USD 20.12 billion by the end of the review period in 2030.

Specialty plasticizers add flexibility, as well as other high performance attributes such as volatility resistance, low-temperature resistance, and electrical conductivity. Commonly used in the production of PVC films, electrical wiring, flooring, roofing, and wall coverings, specialty plasticizers are expected to witness consistent demand from the construction sector. The construction sector is expanding at a swift pace due to urbanization and the increasing demand for residential and commercial buildings. Moreover, added to concrete, plasticizers can strengthen the material. PVC is the third most widely used plastic polymer and has a vast number of applications in construction activities, pipes, sins, clothing, healthcare, and a number of others. As such, the high demand for PVC is likely to influence increased demand for specialty plasticizers.

Notably, the market is restrained by stringent regulations in developed economies. Some specialty plasticizers have been banned in consumer goods due to their toxic effect on the health.
