Plastic Additives Market - Global Industry Insights, Trends, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2018-2026
Plastic additives are chemicals that are used to polymerize, process or help achieve desired properties in the end use of plastics. Plastic additives offer various characteristics such as improved resistance to chemicals, water, and scratches, reduced coefficient of friction, enhanced gloss, improved water repellency, suppression of shark-skin, and lowered surface roughness.

Internal lubricants help improve the melt flow of materials by lowering the heat dissipation and viscosity. Plastic additives in comparison to other additives, better prevent the risk of microbiological deterioration of plastic materials that are prone to staining, odor, discoloration, and aesthetic loss. These beneficial properties of plastic additives over other additives are responsible for boosting growth of the plastic additives market. Plastic additives are most importantly effective on materials with electrical insulating properties and mechanical properties. Plastic additives are widely used in the automobile and construction industries, owing to properties such as improved strength of impact, improved coupling, higher elongation, reduced brittleness, and higher plasticity. In the automotive industry, these additives have gained increased acceptance in applications such as interior scratch resistance in trims or panels for interior scratch resistance, and in high glossy panels for the decoration of middle consoles. Growing popularity of cost-effective automotive interiors, in turn, is expected to fuel growth of the plastic additives market. The consumer goods industry employs these additives due to the easy process involved in its recycling. In the construction industry plastic additives are used to maintain appearance and properties, thermal protection, long-term durability, and for maintenance of integrity of polymer properties during processing. Plastic additives also extend the lifetime of UV sensitive construction applications. Growing construction industry around the globe, is in turn, expected to boost growth of the market for plastic additives.
