Key Drivers

The global plastic antioxidants market is mainly driven by the increasing demand for plastic antioxidants such as PVC, PP, PE, ABS, and other polymers, especially in the automotive, building & construction, medical, healthcare, and consumer goods industry. The antioxidants are increasingly used in a range of polymers such as PP, PVC, and PE. Plastics have superior mechanical and electrical properties, which help in improving abrasion resistance and superior chemical resistance as compared to conventional materials. For instance, in the automotive industry, plastics are used to increase the safety level, improve fuel efficiency and performance. The airbags used in the cars are manufactured from high-strength polymer fabric, which helps in reducing the risk of fatal injury in a car crash. The plastics are used in mulch films, netting, silage strap wrap, greenhouse film covers, and other purposes. Furthermore, the rising usage of polypropylene resins in heavy-duty sacks, compounding, hygiene stacks, and others is further surging the demand for PP polymer resin, thus contributing to the growth of the plastic antioxidants market share.

The growing application of plastic antioxidants across various industries in order to slow down the oxidative degradation and maintain the durability of products during long-term storage is expected to augment the market growth. Increasing use of antioxidants for the production of various polymer-based interior and exterior components of vehicles, which include dashboards, bumpers, steering wheels, and switches will expand the market growth. In addition, the strict emission standards enforced by governing agencies of several countries have encouraged original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to adopt plastic antioxidants in modern vehicles, driving the market growth. Moreover, the emerging need to minimize excessive volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions caused by polymer degradation have encouraged the adoption of plastic antioxidants. With the growing application of medical equipment, owing to the accelerating incidences of acute and chronic diseases and the geriatric population is contributing to the market growth.

Antioxidant Type – Segment Analysis

Based on the antioxidant type, the phenolic segment is projected to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period. The phenolic antioxidants are primary antioxidants which interfere with the chain propagation by the termination of free radical. This type of antioxidant is increasingly used for plastics or polymer systems that are sensitive to thermal and oxidative degradation for the formulation of peroxides and free radicals. They protect plastics and other types of polymers from degradation and oxidation at higher processing temperatures.

Polymer Resin – Segment Analysis

Based on the polymer resin, the polypropylene (PP) polymer is anticipated to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period. PP is a thermoplastic polymer having tertiary carbon atoms. The polypropylene is processed at a temperature range between 428°F and 536°F and under these conditions, it degrades to form molecular weight products. The increasing usage of plastic antioxidants in polypropylene polymer resin, particularly in the packaging application is a major factor that is propelling the market growth. The plastic packaging market generated a revenue of USD 345.91 billion in 2019, registering a CAGR of over 3% during the forecast period, reaching a value of USD 426.47 billion by 2025, which would boost the demand for polypropylene for packaging applications, thus stimulating the demand in the plastic antioxidant market. The susceptibility to oxidation and thermal degradation of polypropylene will boost the segment’s growth.
