Anti-static Agents Market to be at Forefront by 2026
Despite
witnessing slow growth across developed nations, demand for
anti-static agents will increase in the forthcoming years as their
sales opportunities rise in emerging economies. Plastic substrates
are often coated with anti-static agents to make their surface more
conductive and dissipate static energy. As per Transparency Market
Research (TMR), the increasing application of plastics across the
automotive and electronics industries will subsequently boost demand
for anti-static agents. Besides this, the increasing use of plastics
in the packaging industry will augur well for the global anti-static
agents market.

Report Overview @
As
per TMR, the global anti-static agents market was valued at US$316.7
mn in 2014. The market is expected to reach US$530.5 mn by the end of
2023, rising at a CAGR of 5.9% between 2015 and 2023.
Increasing
Use of Polypropylene across Industries to Fuel Demand for Anti-static
Agents
Based
on application, the global anti-static agents market is segmented
into polyvinyl chloride, high density polyethylene, acrylonitrile
butadiene styrene, low density polyethylene, polypropylene, and
others. Of these, the others segment, which includes linear low
density polyethylene dominated the market, holding a share of 20% in
2014. Polypropylene emerged as the second-largest segment with a
share of 19.9% in the same year. It is a widely used plastic across
industries such as automotive, packaging, textiles, electrical. Due
to its structural properties and effective functionality, application
of polypropylene is expected to surge considerably in the near
future. The increasing demand for polypropylene will subsequently
boost sales of anti-static agents.
In
the same year, high density polyethylene (HDPE) emerged as the
third-largest application segment. The market is also expected to
gain from the rising use of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) in
automotive, consumer electronics, and rigid packaging industries is
expected to considerably fuel demand from the segment in the
forthcoming years. Apart from this, TMR expects the demand for
anti-static agents in the polyvinyl chloride (PVC) segment to rise as
well. As the consumption of PVC increases in the packaging and
construction sectors it is expected to fuel demand for anti-static
agents in response.
Rapid
Industrialization in Asia Pacific to Seal the Region’s Position as
Market Leader
Regionally,
Asia Pacific led the global anti-static agents market in 2014 with a
share of about 49.8% in 2014. Furthermore, TMR expects this region to
exhibit the fastest growth during the forecast period. The increasing
population in Asia Pacific, favorable government policies, and rising
per capita income are the key factors fuelling demand for anti-static
agents from Asia Pacific. The anti-static agents sales in Asia
Pacific is poised to surge in response to the rapid growth witnessed
in the automotive, electronics, plastics, and textile industries
across the emerging economies of the region.

China
emerged as the most lucrative market for anti-static agents in Asia
Pacific in 2014. The rapid industrialization witnessed in the regions
boosts sales opportunities for anti-static agents. In the same year,
Europe emerged as the second-largest regional market for anti-static
agents. However, TMR expects this regional market to exhibit sluggish
growth during the forecast period. Stringent government regulations
and trade policies imposed on use of plastics as raw materials limits
scope for expansion of the anti-static agents market in Europe.
Nevertheless, increasing use of these components in recycled plastic
industry will enable the market to maintain steady growth in Europe.
The
global anti-static agents market exhibit a consolidated vendor
landscape. Some of the leading players operating in the market
include AkzoNobel N.V., BASF SE., Cytec Industries Inc., Croda
Internationalplc., ClariantAG, and ArkemaS.A.
