Rapid Industrialization to Bolster Demand for Plasticizers Catalyzing Market Growth

The swift pace of urbanization in emerging regions such as Latin America, the Middle East, and Asia Pacific has led to an upsurge in construction activities, thereby propelling the demand for various types of plasticizers. In addition, the use of eco-friendly plasticizers in the construction industry is a crucial factor catalyzing the market growth. The soaring application of plasticizers in manufacturing medical devices is fueled by the advent of non-phthalate plasticizers with better toxicology profiles. They are preferred for making medical tubing to be used in numerous intravenous infusion and dialysis applications.

The substantial growth of automotive industry world over has stimulated the demand for automobiles, thereby accelerating the use of plasticizers in automotive manufacturing facilities. The growing purchasing power of consumers in developing nations has boosted the demand for electronic appliances. This has bolstered the applications of non-phthalate plasticizers in the consumer electronics industry.

Stringent Regional Regulations Due to Health Concerns May Limit Application

The presence of toxic chemicals in plasticizers with probable carcinogenic effects to humans, coupled with the soaring environmental concerns of the use of plastics, is a key factor likely to hinder the market to some extent. In addition, strict regulations limiting the use of phthalates in toys and medical devices, particularly in various countries of the North America and Europe, are expected to restrain the plasticizers market. Furthermore, the high cost associated with the production of eco-friendly plasticizers may impede the market.

Be that as it may, the increasing inclination of several manufacturers toward making non-phthalate plasticizers is anticipated to boost their applications in food-contact products and a variety of medical devices. The advent of eco-friendly alternatives is expected to give a robust push to the demand for plasticizers world over. Furthermore, advancement in manufacturing technologies has enabled manufacturers to make non-toxic plasticizer alternatives with non-migration properties, which is expected to fuel their applications in the food packaging and medical devices industries
