Published: Jul 2023 | Report Code: OMR2026540 | Category : Plastics and Polymers | Delivery Format: /

The global plastic additives market is projected to grow at a modest CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period. The usage of various types of plastics in medical packaging, food and beverage packaging, and the rising pharmaceutical industry in emerging nations are the key factors driving the plastic additives market. Furthermore, the market is growing as a result of expanding urbanization and rising consumer disposable income. Plastic additives are commonly used in household products, greenhouse films, electronics, consumer goods, containers, toys, and kitchenware.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Global Plastic Additives Market

The COVID-19 pandemic led to a negative impact on the growth of the global plastic additives market. During the pandemic, the decline in demand for end-products such as plastic construction, and automotive components was witnessed. The temporary shutdown of offices, production units, and construction activity impacted the plastic additives market. For an instance, in December 2020, the general panel of the Supreme court of the kingdom of Saudi Arabia rendered a decision regarding the impact of COVID-19 on construction contracts. The contracts may be modified by the courts with amendments including the following- 

Reducing the amount of supply:

If COVID-19 results in the shortage of goods or materials required for the completion of the project in any case, the court may decrease the quality of goods to the extent that those available become sufficient to move the project forward.

Suspension due to the unavailability of materials:

In cases where COVID-19 results in temperature unavailability of materials, the court may decide to suspend obligations that have been affected. Additionally, if a suspension is likely to harm a party, that party may request a termination. Further, there were disruptions in supply chain and logistics operations due to the lockdown imposed by the central government. 

Segmental Outlook

The global plastic additives market is segmented based on plastic type, type, and application. By plastic type, the market is segmented as polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, polyethylene, and others. Among plastic types, the polyvinyl chloride segment is expected to have a considerable share in the market during the forecast period. The attributable factors for the growth of the segment include the presence of a larger number of manufacturing facilities. Further, the most commonly used plastics are polyethylene terephthalate and polyethylene. Based on type, the market is segmented as lubricants, slip additives, plasticizers, and others. Further, based on the application the market is segmented as packaging, consumer goods, automotive, and others.

Packaging Segment Segment to Hold a Prominent Share in the Global Plastic Additives Market

Based on application the market is segmented as packaging, consumer goods, automotive, and others. Among applications, the packaging segment is expected to hold a lucrative share during the forecast period. The use of packaging in the food and beverage industry is a contributing factor to the segment's growth. PET/PETE, high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), low-density polyethylene (LDPE), polypropylene, and polystyrene are some of the most common polymers used in the packaging business.

Regional Outlook

Geographically, the global plastic additives market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Rest of the World. The Asia-Pacific region is expected to hold a significant market share. The regional growth of the market is accredited to the changing consumer lifestyle coupled with rising disposable income and rising healthcare expenditure in the economies such as China and India. According to IBEF (India Brand Equity Foundation), India's medical tourism industry is growing at a substantial rate of 22-25% and is estimated to increase its contribution to India's healthcare industry in the future. North America is anticipated to hold a major market share in the global plastic additives market. The well-developed infrastructure and growing investments in the field of packaging are some of the key factors driving the growth of the regional market. Europe is the second-largest market owing to increasing healthcare expenditure.

Europe is Anticipated to Have a Prominent Share in the Global Plastic Additives Market

Europe is anticipated to hold a prominent share in the global plastic additives market. The regional market's growth factors include the region's healthcare expenditure. According to the EU, Germany's health spending surpassed the $1.25 billion per day level for the first time in 2017. When compared to 2016, the Federal Statistical Office predicted a 4.9% increase in healthcare spending in 2017, bringing the total to $450 billion. The medical packaging industry has benefited from these expenditures and the opening of new hospitals. Moreover, in 2019, healthcare spending surpassed $500 billion. This was equivalent to 11.9% of GDP. It makes it possible to expand universal access to healthcare and strengthen the insurance system. It reflects a rising focus on enhancing the country's healthcare infrastructure.
