Plastic Stabilizer Market – Overview

Increasing demand from end-use industries such as packaging, building & construction and automotive is anticipated to drive global plastic stabilizer market growth over the forecast period. The rise of middle class population in developing region of Asia Pacific and Latin America such as China, India, Brazil, and Mexico is driving the growth of manufacturing sector along with increasing purchasing power. In addition, migration towards urban areas, relative increase in per capita consumption and liberal FDI norms have worked together towards the growth of plastic stabilizer consumption over the last decade and is set to continue over the forecast period.

Plastic Stabilizer are added to various plastics in order to enrich their properties. They are helpful in providing protection from obstructions such as high temperature, UV rays, oxidation, and chain scission properties. The usefulness of the stabilizers against weathering is determined by the solubility, capability to stabilize in various polymer matrix, the dispersal in matrix, evaporation loss at the time of processing and usage.

Heat stabilizers emerged as the leading type segment due to its extensive usage across varied end-use industries in order to prevent polymers from excessive heat. Antioxidant is the second major type of plastic stabilizer, projected to grow at the highest CAGR due to increasing demand from packaging industry, especially food packaging. Geographically, Asia Pacific emerged as the largest regional market for plastic stabilizer followed by North America and Europe. The region accounted for over 40% of the overall market share in 2016 and is set to continue its dominance over the forecast period. Rising construction spending coupled with growth in automotive production and sales is anticipated to bolster the plastic stabilizers consumption in the Asia Pacific region. Countries such as China, India, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and South Korea are witnessing prolific growth of packaging and manufacturing sector due to strong economic performance coupled with untapped potential in various regions.
