Overview of the polymer stabilizer market
Technavio’s market research analysts have identified the increasing demand for light stabilizers in polymers and plastics as one of the primary factors that will trigger the growth of the polymer stabilizer market in the coming years. UV radiation in plastics causes degradation owing to photo-oxidative process and therefore, light stabilizers are extensively utilized to prevent degradation of plastics and other materials. The photo-oxidative process causes decline of mechanical properties, changes in appearance, and the formation of visible defects such as cracks. Light stabilizers are of two different types like UV absorbers and HALS. UV absorber aids in absorbing harmful UV radiation whereas HALS acts as light stabilizers which looks for radical intermediates in the photo-oxidation process. Our market research analysts estimate that this market will grow steadily at a CAGR of more than 5% by 2022.
The growth of new products is one of the key trends in the polymer stabilizer market. To reduce the manufacturing and operating cost of polymer stabilizers, the major vendors are investing heavily on R&D. The polymer stabilizer manufacturers are depending on new product innovations to sustain the competitive environment in the market. New light stabilizers have been introduced by BASF for wood and metal coatings. BASF has launches five Tinuvin products, namely Tinuvin 123-DW (N), Tinuvin 477-DW (N), Tinuvin 9945-DW (N), Tinuvin 400-DW (N), and Tinuvin 5333-DW (N).
