Request Now !The global UV light stabilizers market size was valued at $462.9 million in 2020, and is projected to reach $871.5 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 6.6% from 2021 to 2030.
The UV light stabilizers market in significantly affected by the emergence of COVID-19, owing to the shutdown of manufacturing units globally. However, the market is expected to register significant growth in the coming years due to the adoption of smart technologies in the regions worldwide.
UV light stabilizer protect plastic or wooden components from long-term effects of UV radiations. A polymer photo-degradation process occurs when a substance is exposed to UV radiation, resulting in deterioration of physical properties of the substance such as changes in color, loss of strength, elongation & tensile strength properties, or chalking of surface. For instance, plastic or wooden chairs kept in gardens become brittle and lose their glossiness and chairs kept in open stadiums appear to be chalky or sometimes crack into pieces. Therefore, manufactures use UV light stabilizers to protect components that are exposed to UV radiations to prevent damage & losses.

COVID-19 Impact
The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted the UV light stabilizers market forecast as huge workforce of enterprises across the globe is working from home. This led to decline in tourism, which, in turn, reduced the demand for light stabilizers. Although the COVID-19 pandemic has forced field work of several major projects to halt temporarily, the UV light stabilizers market opportunity is expected to remain robust with cumulative number of shipments being marginally unaffected in the next three-year period from 2020. New projects throughout the world have been stalled, which, in turn, have affected the demand in several industries, including manufacturing, industrial, and retail. Although market players faced minimal impact on procuring raw materials, as time and shipping costs are still major concerns. Moreover, rise in investments in development of smart cities has gained importance during the pandemic. Subsequently, demand for UV light stabilizers is anticipated to gain momentum post-pandemic. Key market players focus on positioning their companies for a strong recovery post pandemic. Market players have meticulously planned to strengthen their supply chain to benefit from post-pandemic opportunities. They further focus on availing additional opportunities with expanded market usage of UV light stabilizers technology, owing to price considerations and additional display offerings using micro-lenses. Hence, UV light stabilizers market players are anticipated to boost the market growth from various opportunities generated post-pandemic. Although COVID-19 had a major negative impact on UV light stabilizers market outlook, the outbreak of COVID-19 is expected to provide numerous opportunities for UV light stabilizers market trends during the forecast period.
Top Impacting Factors
The notable factors affecting the UV light stabilizers industry include increase in level of UV radiations due to ozone depletion that affects different materials such as plastics and wood. The growth of UV light stabilizers market is fueled with the boom in construction industry and increase in usability of plastic and wooden materials in the construction industry for applications such as floor coating, decking, and fencing. Plastic is a cheaper substitutes for traditional construction materials, hence, the adoption of plastic materials is widely witnessed in construction sector. However, the cost of UV stabilizers is high, which limits the market growth.
Increase in Level of UV Radiations
Synthetic polymers such as plastics as well as naturally occurring polymer materials such as wood are extensively used in building construction and other outdoor applications where they are routinely exposed to sunlight. The UV-B content in sunlight is known for adversely affecting the mechanical properties of these materials, casting a doubt over their usability. Any increase in the solar UV-B content owing to a partial ozone depletion would therefore tend to decrease the outdoor service life of these materials.
The cost for adding UV stabilizers would eventually lead to the price hike of the product. Customers incur the extra burden of cost. HALS are the most common type of stabilizers, which are used in many applications such as flooring, decking, and automotive. The maximum adoption of HALS is attributed to its early adoption as UV stabilizers and comparatively high shelf life compared to other UV stabilizers. However, the cost of HALS is high, thereby limiting the UV light stabilizers industry. UV absorbers are more affordable than HALS. However, the limited shelf life of UV absorbers minimizes their application.
Product Advancements and Increase in Disposable Income
Conventional UV absorbers are organic molecules with various chemical structures. They are incapable of exhibiting long-term stability in coatings. Inorganic compounds such as titanium dioxide, ceria, and zinc oxide absorb radiations in the UV region and they have the additional advantage of greater long-term protection. Their disadvantage is that because they are solid particles they can reduce the transparency of the coating film. This effect can be minimized by reducing their particle size to nanometers, the smaller the particle size, the greater the transparency.

The UV-B radiations of sunlight adversely affect the mechanical properties of materials such as plastics and wood, thereby limiting their shelf life. There are three types of stabilizers available in the market, which include hindered amine light stabilizers (HALS), UV absorbers, and quenchers. HALS occupies a dominant market share, owing to its usability in many applications and long shelf life as compared to other UV stabilizers. UV stabilizers are commonly seen in coating applications such as flooring, decking, furniture, and automobiles. Flooring and decking applications significantly contribute to the revenue generation of the overall UV light stabilizer market.
The booming construction industry leads to rising demand for construction materials. The exposure of roofing tiles & shakes, solar shingles, shutters, and roofing membrane to UV light causes cracking, crazing, chalking, color changes, and loss of strength in them. Hence, these components require effective UV and heat stabilization loading to resist the abovementioned harmful UV effects. Asia-Pacific accounted for more than 50% of the market share, owing to large industrial base of construction, automotive, and packaging industries.
Several companies operating in UV light stabilizer market have adopted product launch, agreements, and partnerships as their key strategies to gain a prominent foothold in the market.
