Impact Modifier Market Size, Share, Competitive Landscape and Trend Analysis Report by Application and by End-User Industry : Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2023-2032

Impact modifiers are the materials used to improve the durability and toughness of plastic resins particularly those which are subjected to impact forces or cold weather service. They act as a compensation for inherent brittleness or embrittlement occurring at subzero temperatures, notch-sensitivity, and crack propagation. Other characteristics improved along with these are optical & tensile properties, weatherability, processability, flammability, heat distortion, and cost. Different variety of impact modifiers depending on the host polymer and the needed properties are available.

The impact modifier market is currently in its advanced state and PVC is the largest application market. Asia-Pacific covered the largest market share in the global impact modifiers market in 2015. The growth and development of packaging, consumer goods, and automotive end use industries in the region is projected to drive the growth of the impact modifiers market. Other factors that drive the impact modifier market are increase in use of impact modifiers across various end-use industries and technological advancements.

The report segments the impact modifier market on the basis of types, application, end users, and geography. On the basis of types, the market is segmented into ABS, AIM, ASA, MBS, EPDM, CPE, and others.
