Plastic additives market from the plasticizers segment is estimated to register 5% CAGR from 2023 to 2032. Eco-friendly plasticizers are anticipated to be the future of plasticizer businesses as companies are focusing from an environmental perspective. Environmentally friendly plasticizers provide a range of characteristics, including good thermal stability, weather resistance, and waterproofing with good electrical resistivity. PVC, the third largest polymer by volume after PP and PE, is where plasticizers are most frequently utilized. Without changing the underlying chemical makeup of the plasticized material, plasticizers reduce the viscosity of the polymer melt, the elastic modulus, the glass transition temperature (Tg), and the melting temperature (Tm) of the end product which increases the flow and thermoelectricity.
