Market Overview:
The global specialty plasticizer market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for coated fabrics, wire & cables, flooring & wall coverings, films & sheets, and medical devices. In terms of type, the phthalates segment is expected to lead the global specialty plasticizer market during the forecast period. This can be attributed to their properties such as low volatility and good compatibility with other polymers. In terms of application, coated fabrics are expected to lead the global specialty plasticizer market during the forecast period owing to their growing demand in automotive applications across regions.
Product Definition:
A specialty plasticizer is a type of additive that helps to improve the flexibility and durability of plastic products. It is often used in conjunction with other additives, such as stabilizers and antioxidants, to create a more durable product. Specialty plasticizers are important because they help to improve the quality and performance of plastics, making them more resistant to cracking or breaking.
Phthalates:
Phthalates are primarily used in the manufacturing of plasticizers, which are further utilized in the production of PVC and polyvinyl chloride. The growth factor for phthalate is largely driven by its demand from PVC and PV applications. However, with growing environmental concerns regarding plasticizer toxicity, there has been a shift towards restricting their usage across various industries including automotive & transportation and medical devices among others. This factor is expected to hinder market growth over the forecast period.
Trimellitates:
Trimellitates is a water-soluble polymer, which consists of three independent molecular units connected by hydrogen bonds. It has been used as an additive in various plasticizers including bisphenol A-based plasticizers and other synthetic elastomers. Trimellitates are also being studied for their use in the production of bio-based plastics with applications ranging from food packaging to automotive parts.
Application Insights:
The application segment includes coated fabrics, wire & cable, flooring & wall coverings, film & sheet, medical devices and others. Wire & cable was the largest application segment in 2017 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of XX% over the forecast period owing to increasing demand for specialty plasticizers from electrical applications such as wires and cables.
Coated fabrics are anticipated to be one of the fastest-growing segments due to rising consumer preference for environment-friendly products coupled with rising demand from textile industry applications such as polyester/cotton blend coatings used on cotton textiles which require low water absorption properties along with high tensile strength. Increasing use of these compounds in manufacturing plasticized fiber coatings is also projected to drive growth over the coming years.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific was the largest regional market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The region accounts for a major share of global production owing to cheap labor, availability of raw materials, and proximity to end-use markets. China emerged as a key producer and consumer in this region due to easy access of raw materials & finished products as well as low manufacturing cost compared with other countries.
North America specialty plasticizers market is driven by growing demand from various application industries such as coated fabrics, wire & cable, flooring & wall coverings, film & sheet along with medical devices owing to high performance requirements from these sectors.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from end-use industries such as construction, automotive and packaging
- Rising awareness about the benefits of specialty plasticizers over traditional plasticizers
- Growing investments in research and development to develop new products
- Expansion of global manufacturing base by key players in the market
- Emergence of new applications for specialty plasticizers
