UV stabilizers are the chemical substances that protects against a chemical process referred to as photo degradation. Photo degradation occurs when the ultraviolet radiation of any artificial light source or the sun strikes plastic or polymer material, which collapses the chemical bonds within the polymer. UV stabilizers absorb the ultraviolet radiation and then disperse the energy into heat at lower levels. Stabilizers allow the polymer to retain its properties for a longer time period. The global UV Stabilizers Market covers different types of industries such as automotive, packaging, agriculture films, building and construction, adhesives and sealants, and others.
Top Impacting Factors:
The growth of the UV Stabilizers Market is driven by the rise in demand from the packaging industry. The UV stabilizers help in retaining the properties of the packaging material even if exposed to ultraviolet or infrared radiation. The rise in demand for UV Stabilizers is driven by many factors such as the demand for polyethylene terephthalate (PET) in the packaging industry is increasing, Polyethylene terephthalate is used in nutraceuticals, food, and beverages industry to prevent the degradation from UV radiation, Moreover penetration of plastic as an effective substitute for glass, wood, and metal due to ease of use, durability, and cost-effectiveness of the plastic material which impacts positively on the plastic industry.
The adoption of nanotechnology is increasing, creating opportunities for manufacturers to improve their portfolios. Nanotechnology involves the use of nanocomposites in UV stabilizers. The demand for plastic products in developing countries such as India, China, South Africa, and others is increasing, which drives the growth of the market during the forecast period. Further, the rise in urbanization across the world has increased the demand to build infrastructure such as residential and transportation. The global population is estimated to grow approximately by two billion from 7.7 billion to 9.7 billion in 2050; hence, the increasing population drives the growth of the market.
Factors such as the fluctuation in the cost of raw materials used in UV stabilizers restrain the growth of the market. The manufacturing of the UV stabilizers includes the use of various raw materials, such as CDON, CYC, Benzyl chloride, Aluminum chloride, Acetic acid, Sodium nitrite, and others that are selected on basis of their applications. Hence, the price fluctuation affects adversely on the manufacturing cost, which can negatively impact the market growth. Secondly, the stringent government regulations on utilization of the chemicals and materials which slowdowns the UV Stabilizers Market growth.
The sales of UV stabilizers decreased in the year 2020, due to the imposition of lockdowns by the governments of many countries. The COVID-19 pandemic has decreased production levels due to the limited capacity of employees due to strict COVID-19 rules. This has hampered the growth of the UV Stabilizers Market significantly during the pandemic.
