Polymer Processing Aid Market Scope and Segmentation

Market Definition

Polymer processing aids (PPAs) are those additives combined with the base polymer to improve the processing and processability characteristics of the material and the quality of the final product. These processing aids are designed to handling of high molecular weight polymers and improve the melt processability. They can also give finished products and improved the aesthetic properties by removing die lines and flow marks. They can be used with several polymers including HDPE, LDPE, LLDPE, PP, polystyrene, ABS and others.

Polymer Processing Aid Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Rising demand in packaging sector

There are several packaging options available in the market, but one of the most popular options widely used for packaging is polyethylene. It is the most durable plastic because of unique properties such as chemical and heat resistance. The rising demand of polyethylene for packaging products in the packaging industry is expected to drive the growth of the polymer processing aid market.

• Rising demand of blown films and cast films

Blown films and cast films are normally used in the manufacturing of agriculture films, food and non-food packaging, and tapes. Rise in demand for agriculture films due to increasing end-user industries, mainly in developing countries which is driving the demand for polymers such as linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE), high density polyethylene (HDPE), and low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) with improved performance parameters. These are the major factor which are anticipated to drive the demand for the polymer processing aid market.

• Rise the demand from several industries

The rise in the demand for polymer processing aid for the  production of high quality polymer products for several industries such as scientific research labs, manufacturing companies, defence, aviation, automobile, telecommunications, and others are expected to drive the market growth rate.

Opportunities

• Rising demand for battery electric vehicles

The focus of manufacturers are shifting towards the electric vehicles in the developed and developing countries which will hamper the growth of existing IC engine vehicles and also help in the growth of the polymer processing aid market. According to IEA, the Netherlands, Norway and Japan are leaders in the electronic vehicles segment. Norway held the share of 46% in terms of the global new electric car sales which has reported by IEA in 2018. So, with the growing demand for electric vehicle, the manufacturer will look to decrease the weight of the vehicle’s due to this create the immense opportunities for the polymer processing aids market.

Restraints/Challenges

Furthermore, polymer processing aids mainly depend on the type of polymers used in the extrusion process that standardises the quality of finished products. These factors can act as major challenges for the polymer processing aid market during the forecast period.

Also, during the process of polymer processing aids some of the polymers can get diluted which can also hinder the complete quality of the final product and act as a challenge for the manufacturers in the polymer processing aid market.
