Key Market Driver

Increasing demand for recycled plastics is the key factor driving market growth. Due to the growing awareness of healthy living, many industries are embracing eco-friendly and sustainable solutions. This trend has resulted in a surge in demand for recycled plastics, leading to a boom in the plastic additives market worldwide. Recycled plastics are being extensively used by the packaging industry, which is gradually shifting towards their usage to meet the rising expectations of environmentally conscious consumers. In 2018, over 40% of the world's plastic production was consumed by the global packaging industry, making it the largest contributor to annual plastic waste generation.

Furthermore, Unilever Group pledged in January 2017 to make its plastic packaging 100% reusable, recyclable, and compostable by 2025. Recycled plastics are being used in various applications in the packaging industry, such as producing FDA-approved food packaging, plastic bottles, containers, jars, caps, engineered pumps, and sprayers. By utilizing recycled plastics, companies can reduce waste, energy consumption, carbon emissions, and water usage while maintaining quality and performance. Recycled plastics also enhance product protection and extend shelf life. Consequently, the increasing adoption of sustainable alternatives for various applications is expected to fuel the growth of the global recycled plastics market, leading to a significant surge in consumption during the forecast period.

Major Market Challenge

The ban on phthalate plasticizers is a major restraint in the market. The specialty chemicals industry heavily relies on plastic additives as its primary source of revenue. Among the different types of plastic additives, plasticizers represent the largest segment of the market. However, due to the recent ban on the use of phthalates, which are commonly used in plasticizers, the growth of the plasticizers market has been hindered. The plastic industry has been instructed to discontinue the use of flexible PVC due to its potential negative impact on the human reproductive system. Consequently, the growing awareness of safety and environmental concerns surrounding phthalates has increased the demand for non-phthalates. Key market players are now focusing on developing non-phthalate plasticizers that meet the required standards for various applications such as food utensils, containers, packaging, and toys. These non-phthalate plasticizers include adipic acid polyester, trimellitic acid, epoxy ester, benzoic acid series, and adipic acid.

Further, during the forecast period, non-phthalate plasticizers are expected to witness the highest compound annual growth rate (CAGR). Phthalate ester plasticizers, which have traditionally dominated the flexible PVC market, are likely to face stiff competition from newer alternatives of non-phthalate plasticizers. As a result, the growth of the market in question is expected to be hampered during the forecast period.

Significant Market Trends

Increasing demand for bio-based plasticizers is a major trend in the market. Plasticizers, such as phthalates, derived from petrochemicals, play a crucial role in the production of plastics, particularly PVC. Currently, phthalate-based plasticizers dominate the global plasticizer market. However, the increasing stringency of environmental regulations and growing health concerns associated with the use of plasticizers have spurred the demand for bio-plasticizers worldwide. This has resulted in a surge in demand for safe, non-phthalate, biodegradable, and bio-based plasticizers.

The growth of end-user industries in emerging economies, like India and China, is expected to fuel the growth of the bio-plasticizer market in the future. Additionally, the ban on phthalates in food packaging materials, consumer goods, medical devices, and soft toys is another factor propelling the growth of the plasticizers market. Moreover, bio-based plasticizers, such as sebacates and epoxides, are anticipated to experience the highest growth rate during the forecast period due to their notable properties, including high efficiency, non-toxicity, improved heat stability, and lower volatility. These materials are successfully utilized in a wide range of applications, such as adhesive and sealants, automotive, paints, and coatings, among others.

              • in crude oil prices: The volatility of crude oil prices is one of the key challenges in the global commodity chemicals market. The volatility of crude oil prices impacts the pricing strategies and margins of adhesives, sealants, lubricants, oilfield cleaners, polymers, as well as plastic additives. The margins of the commodity chemicals are inherently dependent on the global prices of crude oil, which is one of the key raw materials. Any volatility in the prices of crude oil causes uncertainty in end-use markets and eventually influences the margins of all the key stakeholders, including the vendors in the global commodity chemicals market. These fluctuations adversely affect the profitability, cost of sales, and the ability of vendors to effectively address the demands of consumers.
