Plastic Additives Market Top Key Industry Players: BASF SE, Clariant AG, Bayer AG, Songwon Industries Co., Ltd, DowDuPont, Albemarle Corporation, Evonik Industries AG

Market Overview:

The plastic additives market is segmented into six categories namely, plasticizers, stabilizers, flame-retardants, impact modifiers, antioxidant and others. The global plastic additive market was led by plasticizers in 2017, owing to its extensive use in polymers and are comparatively cost-competitive to other additives. The product is widely used in commodity plastics to derive various end-use products. Some of the commodity plastics are polypropylene, polyethylene, polystyrene, polymethyl methacrylate and polyvinyl chloride.

Global Plastic Additives Market size shall grow with prominent CAGR over the forecast timeframe. Plastic additives are the substances which are added in polymer reaction or chemical process. These additives help to improve the polymer characteristics such as shine, strength, heat sensitivity and durability. Decrease in mineral ore sources has raised the metal equipment cost, which has triggered the plastic applications to replace metal equipment. The low cost of plastic and properties similar to metal shall fuel plastic additives market growth rate in the coming years.
