根据透明度市场研究，全球塑料添加剂市场将在2013年至2019年间以5.2％的复合年增长率增长，到2019年，市场价值将达到15.9美元。根据该报告，繁荣的行业，例如建筑，消费电器和汽车驱动器。对塑料和能源问题不断增加的需求激增是刺激塑料添加剂需求的其他重要因素。塑料添加剂在一系列最终产品中的广泛应用可以归因于塑料添加剂为产品提供多功能性的能力。不断扩大的塑料添加剂市场对石油和天然气行业有积极的影响，因为前者仅依赖于后者来供应原材料。在许多最终用途产品中使用的塑料需求激增可能会触发全球塑料添加剂市场的增长。另一方面，与塑料添加剂的原材料相关的高成本是全球塑料添加剂市场中的玩家的主要关注点。但是，该行业的投资回报率很高，这反过来又可能有助于市场参与者克服此问题，从而推动全球塑料添加剂市场。此外，与使用塑料的环境影响有关的规则和法规在很大程度上对市场产生了不利影响。塑料添加剂生产商总是承受着生产比现有化学物质更安全的环保化学物质的压力。 A wide range of plastic additives has been banned in recent years, impacting the market remarkably.
Product-wise, this market is segmented into UV stabilizers, antimicrobials, antioxidants, impact modifiers, flame retardants, and plasticizers. Property modifiers mostly include impact modifiers, biodegradable plasticizers, antioxidants, blowing agents, antimicrobials, and flame retardants. The market for plasticizers is reporting the fastest growth among all property modifiers. With a market share exceeding 50%, the segment of plasticizers dominates the global plastic additives market in terms of volume. The global plastic additives market is spread across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and the Rest of the World. Fuelled by the growth of the construction industry and the automobile industry, Asia Pacific dominates the market in terms of both consumption and production. The automobile industry in India and China is expected to expand robustly in the forthcoming years, which in turn will increase the demand for plastic additives. Furthermore, the market is anticipated to witness high demand from Europe and the USA because of the steady economic recovery taking place in these regions. Of the key companies operating in this market, BASF continues to be the largest manufacturer of plastic additives in the global market. Kaneka, Chemtura Corporation, Bayer AG, and Exxon Mobil Corporation are the other prominent companies in the global plastic additives market. Brazil, Korea, Saudi Arabia, Russia, India, China and Iran are some of the lucrative regions in the global plastic additives market that will prosper significantly during the forecast period.

As per MarketsandMarkets, the plastic additives market is projected to register a CAGR of 5% between 2014 and 2019 to reach US$45.5 bln by 2019. China is projected to be the top consumer of plastic additives globally by 2019, and is estimated to register a high CAGR between 2014 and 2019 for plastic additives market. The US is currently the largest plastic additives consumer in the world but is anticipated to be outdone by China in the near future. The demand for the plastic additives is driven by the diverse applications ranging from packaging, construction, consumer goods, and automotive among others. Growing GDP, rapid pace of industrialization, increased consumption of plastic materials, consumer goods, and packaging products remain key growth driving forces for this market. Future growth in the market hinges heavily onto developing economies in Asia-Pacific, South America, and Eastern Europe.
包装细分市场将于2013年领导塑料添加剂市场，预计将继续成为2014年至2019年之间的CAGR最大的市场，其数量为4.7％。包装是增长最快的应用程序，其次是汽车领域。预计在未来五年内，汽车应用中塑料消耗的增加将使塑料添加剂市场受益。食品和饮料制造商继续增强他们对有吸引力和精致产品包装的关注，以吸引消费者的关注。此外，随着新包装技术的出现，例如抗氧化剂，抗紫外线，耐热，抗微生物和抗雾化包装，塑料添加剂的使用在过去几年中大大飙升。塑料添加剂的增塑剂细分市场在2013年的市场份额最大，预计将在2019年到2019年占主导地位，这主要是由于DOP的需求增长。由于其低成本和合适的增塑特性，对DOP的需求正在向上显示，这些趋势进一步在各种最终用途应用中使用。阻燃剂细分市场预计在2014年至2019年之间的增长率最高。消费品和建筑应用的需求不断增加，尤其是亚太地区的建筑应用程序将继续推动这一细分市场的增长。

Plastics additives are substances that are added in a polymer during reaction in the final stage or in the process of polymer/plastic production. These additives help in improving the characteristics of polymers such as strength, shine, durability and heat sensitivity. The global plastic additives market is expected to generate revenue of US$57.8 bln by 2020 at a CAGR of 4.9% during 2013-2020, as per Allied Analysts LLp. In terms of volume, it is expected to reach 17,071.7 Kilo Tons by 2020 growing at a CAGR of 4.4% during 2013-2020. Impacting drivers of plastic additives market such as increase in environmental awareness and intervention by government to promote non-toxic plastic additives is promoting growth. However, increase in health concerns due to consumption of Phthalate based plasticizers is forcing the government to harness the regulations for controlling commercialization of such additives. In the United States, the application of phthalates in the manufacturing of toys and other children's product is banned under the guidance of Consumer Products Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA).
矿物矿石来源的减少增加了金属设备的成本，这引发了塑料的应用来替代金属设备。与金属设备相匹配的塑料设备和特性的低成本也可以推动许多应用中塑料的更高采用。因此，增强塑料特性的添加剂的需求也在上升。涉及添加剂制造的公司主要集中在建筑和汽车设备中使用的特种化学品。严格的政府法规削弱了全球塑料添加剂市场的增长，因为某些塑料添加剂（例如氯化火焰阻燃剂）在加拿大，美国和欧洲联盟的国家禁止使用。未决的法律诉讼也阻碍了塑料添加剂市场的增长。公司面临着诸如专利模仿诉讼，禁止产品的商业应用等诉讼问题。
