Global Polymer Processing Aid Market by Polymer Type (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene, Photopolymers, Polyamide), Application (Blown Film & Cast Film, Extrusion Blow Molding, Fibers & Raffia) - Forecast 2023-2030

The Polymer Processing Aid Market size was estimated at USD 2.25 billion in 2022, USD 2.40 billion in 2023, and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.81% to reach USD 3.81 billion by 2030.

Polymer processing aids (PPAs) are materials that are added to improve the processability of polymeric compounds. PPA enhances processability, lowers the cost, and improves the quality of the polymer. A small amount of PPA can reduce common processing issues such as die build-up and melt fracture, providing better surface quality, increased productivity, a smoother extrusion process, and reduced waste. PVCs, nylons, polyolefins, and other engineering polymers benefit from the addition of processing aids. The surge in the need for packaging goods and several plastic-based construction products is driving the demand for PPA. On the other hand, the government's obligation to use certain PPA and the unstable availability of raw materials and costs can impact the PPA market growth. The new development to form advanced PPAs and several manufacturers' focus on the green bio-based PPAs are expected to offer lucrative growth for the PPA market.
