Our researchers analyzed the data with 2023 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Growing urbanization and infrastructure development is the key factor driving market growth. The need for different infrastructure facilities, such as buildings, roads, bridges, and transit networks, is rising as cities continue to grow and their populations grow. Owing to these advancements, materials that offer strength, flexibility, and durability are needed, which makes plasticizers a crucial component in the building sector. Chemicals known as plasticizers are added to polymers or plastics to improve their workability and flexibility.
Furthermore, industries such as consumer products, automotive, electronics, and packaging use plasticizers. Plasticizers are used in the fabrication of several parts and components, including dashboards, upholstery, wiring, and coatings, in the automotive industry. Hence, the growing urbanization and infrastructure development will drive the growth of the global plasticizers market during the forecast period.
The shift toward eco-friendly plasticizers is the primary trend shaping market growth. Eco-friendly transition is important. Due to the possible hazards to human health and the environment, traditional plasticizers such as phthalates have come under increased investigation. Consequently, the need for substitute environmentally friendly plasticizers that provide equivalent results while lowering these possible risks has been raised.
Furthermore, businesses with the ability to create and market cutting-edge, environmentally friendly plasticizer solutions will have a distinct advantage in this dynamic market. Hence, the shift towards eco-friendly plasticizers will drive the growth of the global plasticizers market during the forecast period.
Environmental concerns due to use of plasticizers is a challenge that affects market growth. Plasticizers are chemicals added to plastics to make them more flexible and durable. However, several environmental issues arise from the production, use, and disposal of plasticizers. Pollution, endocrine disruption, waste generation, challenges with recycling, regulations, and shifting customer preferences are some of the factors that are impeding market growth.
Moreover, in order to produce plasticizers with lower toxicity and environmental impact, manufacturers are also spending money on research and development. Furthermore, recycling technologies are being developed to reduce the environmental impact of plasticizers and increase the recycling efficiency of PVC products. Therefore, the environmental concerns due to the use of plasticizers will hamper the growth of the global plasticizers market during the forecast period.
