As per the report titled ‘Global Plastic Additives Market Size study, by Type (Plasticizers, Stabilizers, Flame Retardants, Impact Modifiers, Other Plastic Additives) By Application (Commodity Plastics, Engineering Plastic, High Performance Plastics) By Plastic (Packaging, Consumer Goods, Construction, Automotive, Others) and Regional Forecasts 2019-2026’, available with Market Study Report, global plastic additives market share was valued at USD 43 billion in 2018 and is projected to register 4% CAGR through 2026.
 

Polymer additives are chemicals that can be termed as functional agents or polymer stabilizers which are used to polymerize, process or alter the end-use plastic properties. Improved heat sensitivity, enhanced strength and durability are the key benefits encouraging the use of plastic additives by several end-user industries.
 

According to data by Plastic Garbage Project, approximately 300 million tons of plastic is produced annually and global plastic production reached 359 million metric tons in 2018. Extensive use of plastic additives across various end use industries, increasing plastic consumption, and widespread replacement of conventional materials with plastic in several applications are the primary growth drivers of global plastic additives market.
 

Moreover, rising demand for plastic additives from agriculture and pharmaceutical applications is expected to present new growth opportunities during the forecast period. However, stringent government regulations regarding the plastic production, use, and disposal in tandem with rising environmental concerns may hinder the industry growth.
