UV Stabilizers Market Segment Analysis - By Application

The plastic segment held the largest share in the UV stabilizer market in 2019 and is growing at a CAGR of 5.6%. Plastics materials can be susceptible to damage by the action of UV radiation. Exposure of plastics to the UV radiation in sunlight initiates degradation through a photo-oxidative process. This can produce a number of undesirable effects including changes in appearance (discoloration, changes in gloss, and/or chalking), deterioration of mechanical properties, and the formation of visible defects such as cracks. Thus, UV Stabilizers are used to protect plastics against degradation from long term exposure to UV radiation. Ultraviolet (UV) absorbers act by shielding the interior of plastic parts from damaging UV radiation. UV absorbers are effective for the stabilization of many plastics, including PVC and engineering plastics. They are also used in plastic packaging applications to protect the package content from the effects of UV radiation. All these factors are driving the UV stabilizers market growth during the forecast period.

UV Stabilizers Market Drivers

Increasing Level of UV Radiation and The Harmful Effect of UV Radiation

The increased use of refrigerator and AC, which emits ozone-layered gasses, has led significantly to an increasing UV radiation level. NASA has stated that in the last 30 years, the amount of UV radiation has raised dramatically causing degenerative effects on sunlight materials. The increased use of gas emission devices enhances the growth of the UV stabilizer market with increased UV radiation. People are becoming increasingly aware about the harmful effects of different materials such as plastics and wood. Polymer photo degradation occurs when a substance is exposed to UV radiation and the physical characteristics of the substance, such as colour, loss of material strength, elongation and tensile strength characteristics or surface cracking, are deteriorated. The manufacturers therefore apply UV light stabilizers to prevent damage and avoid loss of components that are exposed to UV radiation. Thus, the increasing level of UV radiation and the harmful effect of UV radiation act as a driver for the UV stabilizers market growth.

Escalating Construction Sector

Continuing infrastructure growth has enabled construction industry to expand. Alternative inexpensive raw materials like plastic and wood products are preferred by businesses or manufacturing. However, these materials can be quickly shaped into various forms, which contribute to substantial demand for flooring, shielding and fencing applications. Such materials with high exposure to the sun cause degradation and UV stabilizers have been applied as a coating substrate on such materials to minimize such efficiencies. According to the US Census Bureau, in February 2020 total construction was at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1,366,697 which is 6.0 percent above the February 2019 rate of 1,288,951. The rapid growth of housing and construction industry spending has increased dramatically in the U.S. and Mexico, resulting in the economic development of the region of North America. Eco-friendly use, low VOC emissions and high content of UV stabilizers are favored for the use of wood coating. Because of rising demand and the large building and construction market in the region, the country exports almost 90 percent of the furniture from US manufactures. This is a major factor in the growth of UV stabilizers in North America, such as HALS and UV absorbers. The growing use of plastics and wood in the building industry will thus drive the growth of ultraviolet stabilizers to preserve their intensity.

UV Stabilizers Market Challenges

Fluctuations of UV stabilizers costs for raw materials

The processing method for UV stabilizers involves numerous raw materials, including cyclododecanone (CDON), cyanuric chloride (CYC), benzoyl chloride, benzene, aluminum chloride, sodium nitrite, acetic acid, triacetonamine (TAA), and 3-benzaphthalides. The raw materials are selected according to the requirements and specifications for the end-use application. The UV stabilizer raw material demand is extremely competitive, with considerable effects on the price volatility of CDON, CYC, benzene, aluminum chloride, and amine among others. Precisely CDON, CYC, and chlorides fluctuate in the supply and prices of the raw materials and the increases in their prices will adversely affect the cost of output. The key components used in the synthesis of UV stabilizers used in plastic components are CDON and CYC, whereas TAA is the main raw material used in HALS. Thus, the unstable market for raw materials represents a major restraint to the stability of UV stabilizers on the global stabilizers market.

Covid-19 Impact on The UV Stabilizers Market

However, the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak is having a huge impact on the automotive industry.
