Global Plastic Additives Market is valued approximately USD 43 billion in 2018 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 4 % over the forecast period 2019-2026. Polymer additives can mostly be categorized as functional agents or polymer stabilizers. These additives are all chemicals used to polymerize, process or to change end use plastics properties. These plastic additives improve the heat sensitivity, polymer’s strength and durability thus, are used by the end use industries such as automotive, building, consumer electronics and other. Thus, increasing use of plastic additives in end use industries, growing plastic consumption coupled with replacement of conventional materials by plastics in several applications are key driving forces of market growth. According to plastic garbage project organization, about 300 million tons of plastic is produced every year whereas, global plastic production reached 359 million metric tons in 2018. This growth in plastic production capabilities cater to high potential market globally. Apart from this, increasing demand of plastic additives from agriculture and pharmaceutical applications is expected to create significant growth opportunity in the market over the forecast period. However, stringent government regulations impede the growth of the market over the forecast period of 2019-2026.
