Rising Demand for Hindered Amine Light Stabilizers (HALS) in Plastics and Polymer Industries Amidst Growing UV Protection Awareness

 

The global hindered amine light stabilizers (HALS) market is poised to reach a valuation of USD 1.2 billion in 2023, driven by their crucial role in enhancing the durability and longevity of materials across diverse industries. HALS are widely used in applications such as plastics, coatings, and adhesives to prevent degradation from UV radiation, ensuring sustained performance and vibrancy. With growing demand for high-quality products resistant to environmental wear, the HALS market is set to expand at a robust CAGR of 6.4% over the forecast period, reaching a projected revenue of USD 2.2 billion by 2033. This growth is propelled by increasing applications in automotive, packaging, and construction sectors, where the need for advanced materials is on the rise.

Demand for paints and coatings has increased in recent decades for various reasons. Architectural coatings are expected to experience the highest level of growth. The usage of architectural coatings has directly impacted the demand for additives such as hindered amine light stabilizers. The rising demand for industrial coatings in various sectors is expected to drive the demand for hindered amine light stabilizers throughout the forecast period.

The demand for plastic packaging materials, automotive components and coatings, and agricultural films is increasing. The use of HALS is on the rise in commercial and industrial settings. These stabilizers are applied in various ways including in the production of UV-resistant coated plastics, wood products, and polymers.

In many applications, plastic materials are utilized with increasing frequency. The design of plastic products is constantly evolving to meet changing requirements. To keep up with these demands, the plastic industry relies heavily on polymers, polymer blends, and polymer additives.

There has been a significant increase in demand for additives that improve the properties of plastics. This also includes protecting them from damage caused by exposure to UV light and high temperatures. Stakeholders in the plastics industry seek ways to improve product performance. HALS are gradually used to improve the durability and lifespan of plastic products.

Given the increasing demand for packaged products along with the requirements of the automotive industry, the market is anticipated to continue its growth trajectory. To meet the need for high-quality, durable packaging materials and products, manufacturers are seeking additives like HALS that can provide excellent performance and withstand prolonged exposure to sunlight.

Consumers in both developed and developing countries have diverse mobility requirements. In the coming years, urbanization is anticipated to result in a rise in automobile ownership. This rise in car ownership is predicted to drive up demand for automotive refinish coatings.

Automotive refinish coatings serve the function of stabilizing paint in various conditions, including exposure to UV rays, humidity, and pollutants. HALS are increasingly used to prevent automotive paint degradation, yellowing, and chalking caused by UV light. They efficiently preserve the sheen of the paint and improve its resistance to various weather conditions. This is likely to open opportunities for market players.
