• Company profiles of market-leading players, including A&C Catalysts, BASF SE, China General Plastics Corp., The Dow Chemical Co, UBE Industries Ltd.

Market Insights

Many activities in life are affected by plastics and plastic products. Plastic is present in one form or other in most consumer goods, including luxury goods. There is growing consumer spending on goods involving plastics, which keeps the economy healthy. Innovations arising out of research are increasing to enable plastics to replace many conventional materials. Thus, the outlook for the plastics market is bright.

Through the use of various additives, the properties of plastics are modified and their performance improved, which contributes to their success. Without additives being used in the processing of plastics, performance enhancement in plastics would not be possible. The additives account for roughly about 15% to 20% by weight and only about 10% of the cost of the plastics.

Construction of new homes and various other building structures, along with the new design trends, has increased the market for polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which is the most commonly used type of plastics. Along with increasing demand for PVC plastics, demand for plastic additives such as the plasticizers used in PVC formulation has also increased. Sales of rigid PVC products are increasing more than flexible PVC and this will increase the market for additives such as impact modifiers and lubricants.

Out of various plastic additives, plasticizers are the most commonly used type. This has been made possible by the increased use of flexible PVC products. The most widely used plasticizers are phthalates. Phthalates with much-improved safety profiles are being used as replacements instead of toxic compounds such as diethylhexyl phthalate. Flame retardants are the second most widely used additives, and these are expected to have good growth due to the surging electrical and electronics market.
