Impact Modifier Market Analysis and Size

A class of chemicals known as impact modifiers aids in boosting the durability of polymer compounds. They are accessible as resins and have a rubbery texture. When impact modifiers are added to polymer compounds, their elastic nature makes the compounds more durable. In addition to these, impact modifiers enhance weather ability, optical and tensile characteristics, process ability, heat distortion, and flammability.

Global impact modifier market was valued at USD 4.12 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach USD 6.39 billion by 2029, registering a CAGR of 5.63% during the forecast period of 2022-2029. In addition to the insights on market scenarios such as market value, growth rate, segmentation, geographical coverage, and major players, the market reports curated by the Data Bridge Market Research also include in-depth expert analysis, geographically represented company-wise production and capacity, network layouts of distributors and partners, detailed and updated price trend analysis and deficit analysis of supply chain and demand.

Impact Modifier Market Scope and Segmentation

Market Definition

Impact modifiers increase the toughness and durability of plastic resins, especially those employed in cold-weather or impact-prone environments. They compensate for notch sensitivity, fracture propagation, and inherent brittleness or embrittlement that occurs at subzero temperatures.

Global Impact Modifier Market Dynamics

This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail as below:

Drivers

• Rising demand for plastics as raw materials

Plastic is replacing traditional materials more and more as a result of ongoing innovation and the need for lighter materials in many applications. The use of impact modifiers, which enhance the mechanical and impact properties of the finished product and shorten its cycle time, has increased along with the consumption of polymers in the production of goods for a variety of applications.  

• Opportunities presented by infrastructure development

Recently, the IT industry has expanded significantly, particularly in industrialized and developing economies. Due to infrastructure expansion, there is an increase in the need for office equipment and items with effect modifiers, such as computers, storage batteries, communication devices, switchgear, and switchboard apparatus. The market for impact modifiers is expanding significantly due to this development.

Opportunities

• Growth and expansion

Growth and expansion of the construction industry especially in the developing economies will present very many opportunities for the growth of the market. Keeping up with advancements in manufacturing/ production technology may also be beneficial for the market as a whole.

Restraints/Challenges  

• Volatility in the prices will obstruct the growth

The market for impact modifiers is significantly constrained by fluctuations in the price of the raw materials required to make polymers and the monomers that are used to make polymers. Because monomers, which are products made from crude oil, are used to make polymers, changes in the price and supply of crude oil must be taken into account when producing and using these materials.

• Rising environmental concerns will impede the growth

Building contractors are now focusing on sustainable or green building designs rather than traditional ones in order to produce commercial structures that are energy efficient due to the growing environmental concerns. The US Green Building Council has created laws that forbid the use of PVC in green structures.

COVID-19 Impact on Impact Modifier Market

The supply chain had been hampered by COVID-19, which had also caused a shortage of raw materials and a labor shortage, which had hindered market expansion. The pandemic-related lockdown in major nations has also resulted in the closure of the factories that make plastic goods. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative effect on the world's construction industry and has changed the availability and cost of labor and materials, which are the two main cost factors in building projects. Additionally, the construction industry's value chain has been impacted by disruption in the transportation sector, which has an impact on the market for impact modifiers.

Expected Impact of Economic Slowdown on the Pricing and Availability of Products

When economic activity slows, industries begin to suffer. The forecasted effects of the economic downturn on the pricing and accessibility of the products are taken into account in the market insight reports and intelligence services provided by DBMR.
