Anti-block Additives Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges

Based on our research output, there has been a neutral impact on the market growth during and post COVID-19 era. The inclination toward the adoption of advanced technology is notably driving the anti-block additives market growth, although factors such as presence of alternatives like biofilms may impede market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the anti-block additives industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.

Key Anti-block Additives Market Driver

One of the key factors driving growth in the anti-block additives market is the inclination toward the adoption of advanced technology. The technology used in the formation of anti-block additives exhibits high performance and cost-effectiveness. The benefits of using these additives have increased with the advancement in technology. These additives are used to avoid problems that occur due to the high friction exhibited by polymer surfaces during the winding of film rolls, bag production, and production operations. The advanced technology has made it easier for these additives to lower the friction by keeping the polymer cool. They not only reduce the friction but are also capable of forming a lubricant layer, thereby reducing the contact between polymer surfaces and polymers. The advanced additives are expected to offer enhanced flexibility at higher concentrations and possess higher flexibility and tensile strength. This has urged manufacturers to increase the production of these additives, with the increasing demand from end-users. 

Key Anti-block Additives Market Trend

Government initiative for biodegradables is the major trend influencing anti-block additives market growth. Anti-blocking additives are used in all types of plastic films to prevent sticking between polymer films. These additives have been used in various polymers like LLDPE, LDPE, HDPE, BOPP, and PVC. These additives provide anti-blocking properties and enable the easy processing of packaging. The anti-block agents create space between two plastic layers, thereby creating a block. However, the use of plastic films is restricted, under government regulations, due to environmental problems. The government has taken initiatives toward the development of eco-friendly and biodegradable polymers. It is expected that the government will soon enforce the use of biodegradable polymers made up of PBSA and PCL (Polycaprolactone). The government in a few countries has banned the use of plastics, thereby ensuring the use of biodegradable polymers by manufacturers. With the high cost of biodegradable polymers and the limited availability of natural resources, the government may take time to enforce stringent rules regarding the use of biodegradable polymers.

Key Anti-block Additives Market Challenge

Presence of alternatives like biofilms are one of the key challenges hindering the anti-block additives market growth. The demand for biodegradable polymers films has been increasing since the last decade due to government regulations and increasing public awareness about ecological problems because of plastic films. This has led to the rapid growth of new biodegradable polymer films such as polybutylene succinate-co-adipate (PBSA), polycaprolactone (PCL), polyhydroxy acid (PHA), cellulose, and starch, for packaging and other applications. These polymers are biodegradable and eco-friendly. The government is supporting the biodegradable polymer industry to minimize the use of synthetic plastic films. Currently, the production cost of biodegradable polymers is higher than that of synthetic polymers. If there is a reduction in the production cost of biodegradable polymers in the near future, it will have a reverse impact on the plastic film market; this will eventually reduce the use of anti-block additives, thereby posing a challenge for the manufacturers of anti-block additives to survive in the market.
