Plastic Additives Market to grow at a CAGR of 6.69% during 2024-2028
The Plastic Additives Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.69% during 2023 and 2028. During this period, the market is also expected to show a growth of USD 21.9 billion. In the plastics industry, petrochemical-based plasticizers, such as phthalates, play a pivotal role in plastic manufacturing, particularly in PVC production. Phthalates dominate the global plasticizer market due to their widespread use. However, stringent environmental regulations and growing health concerns related to plasticizer applications are driving the demand for alternative, eco-friendly solutions. Bio-plasticizers, which are safe, non-phthalate, bio-degradable, and bio-based, are gaining popularity. The expanding end-user industries in emerging economies, like India and China, are expected to fuel the bio-plasticizer market's growth. Additionally, regulatory bans on phthalates in food packaging, consumer goods, medical devices, and soft toys are further propelling market expansion.
