Backed by the astonishing growth in historical years and rapid industrialization, Global Impact Modifiers market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.47% for the forecasted period. Impact Modifiers are additives which are used to improve the toughness of a variety of plastic resins. These additives enhance the properties of material such as impact resistance, modulus, viscosity, and good retention of heat distortion temperature. Unmodified Polymers such as Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), Polystyrene (PS), Polyamide, etc. are brittle or ductile at ambient temperature. Impact polymers are elastomeric in nature and have lower modulus than host polymers. Based on grade(host polymer), the market is segmented into Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), Polymethyl Metacrylate (PMMA), Polyolefins, Polyester, Polyamide, others. PVC segments hold the major market by host for global impact modifier market due to wide applicability of PVC in wide range of applications. By Type, the market is segmented into Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE), Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), Acrylic, Processing aid, Ethylene Propylene Diene Rubber (EPDM/EPR), others. Higher heat resistance properties and various application in Wire and Cable Jacketing, Roofing Membranes, Geo Membranes, Automotive, Industrial Hosing, etc is making the CPE dominant segment by Type.
Region Wise, Asia-Pacific is the leading segment for the global impact modifier market. With majority of the engineering plastics and its downstream manufacturers located in the country, China constitutes around one-third of Global Demand. With majority of Automotive supplier located in the region, Europe constitute the second largest share in Global Impact Modifier Market.
End-use wise, packaging is the highest consuming end use and is set to propel the demand for impact modifiers for the forecasting period. Increasing usage in other end uses such as Construction, Consumer Goods, Packaging, others will further propel the demand.

To extract data for global Impact Modifiers market, primary research surveys were conducted with Impact Modifiers manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, wholesalers and end users. While interviewing, the respondents were also inquired about their competitors. Through this technique, ChemAnalyst was able to include manufacturers that could not be identified due to the limitations of secondary research. Moreover, ChemAnalyst analyzed various end user segments and projected a positive outlook for Global Impact Modifiers market over the coming years.
ChemAnalyst calculated Impact Modifiers demand globally by analyzing the historical data and demand forecast which was carried out considering imported styrene prices, a monomer used for production of Impact Modifiers. ChemAnalyst sourced these values from industry experts and company representatives and externally validated through analyzing historical sales data of respective manufacturers to arrive at the overall market size. Various secondary sources such as company websites, association reports, annual reports, etc., were also studied by ChemAnalyst.
