Global Polymer Stabilizer Market Research and Forecast, 2022-2028

Global Polymer Stabilizer Market by Type (Heat Stabilizer, Light Stabilizer, and Antioxidant), By Application (Packaging, Automotive, Consumer Goods, Building & Construction, and Others) - Global Industry Share, Growth, Competitive Analysis and Forecast Period 2022-2028

The global polymer stabilizer market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.8% during the forecast period. Polymers are exposed to environments such as heat, cold, and UV radiation. Due to extreme conditions, the polymers can change their form. By adding stabilizers, it is easy to maintain polymer’s form and it serves well during the period of usage. Polymer stabilizers are used to prevent premature degradation. Most of the polymers are vulnerable to environmental degradation and require the addition of a stabilizer such as an antioxidant or UV absorber. Polymer additives such as the amine light stabilizers prevent oxidation by de-activating existing radicals formed by air oxidation whereas UV absorbers dissipate UV radiation.

The factors that are augmenting the market growth include the increasing demand for plastics across various industries and the growing popularity of light stabilizers. Conventional materials are being replaced by plastics in various end-user industries that are augmenting the polymer stabilizer market during the forecast period. Plastics are effective substitutes to wood, metal, and glass in main industries such as agriculture, automotive, and construction. This has spurred the demand for stabilizers used for polymers in the manufacturing of plastic products.

Moreover, some factors are expected to restrain the market such as the high manufacturing cost of light stabilizers. The cost of materials and labor is high for light stabilizers as the materials used are highly volatile and specific to the applications. These are the major factors hindering the growth of the market. However, expanding the business in the untapped region of Asia-Pacific and cohesive government policies are expected to create further growth opportunities in the future for the polymer stabilizer market across the globe.
