The plastic additive market size is expected to reach a valuation of USD 45,595.6 million in 2024. By 2034, it is projected to grow further, reaching USD 71,568.1 million, driven by a 4.6% CAGR fueled by increased commercial viability and new manufacturing opportunities.
The plastic additive market is expanding due to various factors, such as technological advancements, environmental regulations, and the growing demand for eco-friendly products. Key players in the industry recognize growth potential and are addressing these challenges to maintain competitiveness and sustainability.
The packaging sector is the largest consumer of plastic additives, with applications in food, beverage, personal care, and healthcare. Cost-effective alternatives like polyethylene terephthalate (PET/PETE), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), low-density polyethylene (LDPE), polypropylene, and polystyrene are crucial for packaging due to their performance and appearance. These additives contain oxygen scavengers, antimicrobials, antioxidants/stabilizers, colorants, lubricants, and blowing agents. They are also environmentally friendly and sustainable, often made from recycled raw materials with a smaller carbon footprint during manufacturing.
Canada’s automotive and construction industries are experiencing growth in the plastic additive sector due to the rising demand for lightweight and efficient vehicles. Spain’s packaging sector is growing rapidly due to higher demand for plastic in the packaging industry, coupled with rising eCommerce platforms. China and India’s eCommerce boom fuels the plastic additives market growth, driven by the increasing need for packaging and construction activities.
“Technology has enabled extensive aid in plastic additives research and development, with laboratories and analytical tools inventing new additives with high advantages and properties. Software like CAD and simulation tools enable cost-effective design and testing of additives. In the automotive and robotics sectors, modern manufacturing facilities improve efficiency.” – Says an analyst at FMI
