Plasticizers Market Dynamics Growth Drivers and Challenge
Plasticizers Market Opportunities that trigger Market Growth
- Rising demand for PVC
The rising demand for PVC is increasing the demand for plasticizers as it is used in the production of PVC. Due to plasticizers, the PVCs are strong, flexible, durable, and less brittle in nature. The PVCs are high performing, and more efficient due to the presence of plasticizers.
- Increase in adoption of non-phthalate plasticizers
Phthalate is a substance that is used to make plastics stronger and hard to break. Non-phthalate plasticizers are used in various applications such as toys, packing materials, and others. Due to the increased adoption of non-phthalate plasticizers, there is higher demand for plasticizers in the market.
- Rising growth in packaging industries
The maximum of the plasticizers is used in the packaging industry. Therefore, the rising growth in the packaging industry is increasing the demand for plasticizers in the market.
Plasticizers Market Hurdles and Challenges
- Stringent government regulations
The government has imposed several rules and regulations for the use of plasticizers. This is because of protection from health problems and the environment. Furthermore, some of the plasticizers are banned or restricted due to their adverse effect. The government is also promoting bio-based and sustainable plasticizers.
- High prices of raw materials
The prices of raw material for plasticizers is high due to their manufacturing from petrol-based raw materials. This further increases the production cost and hence, it impacts negatively the growth of the plasticizers market. Companies who are manufacturing plasticizers are adopting various new strategies to diversify the raw material source and use alternatives.
Plasticizers Market Regional Analysis
In 2022, Asia-Pacific holds the largest share in the plasticizers market. The market is driven by the electric and electronic industries. China and India are major markets for plasticizers market due to rising demand and commercialization of plasticizers.
