成核劑和澄清劑的市場規模預計在預計期間(2023 年至 2030 年)以 6.5% 的複合年增長率顯著增長。
成核劑可促進聚丙烯、聚乙烯和聚對苯二甲酸乙二醇酯 (PET) 等半結晶聚合物的結晶。 成核劑可改善聚合物的特性,例如彎曲模量和熱變形溫度 (HDT)。
用於聚丙烯的成核劑具有多種優點,例如改進的物理性能、改進的成型性和改進的透明度。 澄清劑可提高聚合物的光學性能,例如透明性、氣體阻隔性和耐化學性。
按形式,粉末中的成核劑和澄清劑廣泛用於粉末中,因為它們可以在最終產品的表面上形成光滑的紋理。 此外,市場按聚合物細分為聚丙烯、聚乙烯、聚對苯二甲酸乙二醇酯 (PET) 等。 成核劑和澄清劑有效促進結晶速率,改善光學性能,增加聚丙烯的產量。
由於全球塑料使用量的增加,對成核劑和澄清劑的需求不斷增加,推動了市場的發展。 據塑料歐洲和塑料製造商協會稱,2020 年全球將生產約 3.48 億噸塑料。 在包裝中越來越多地採用添加劑預計將推動市場增長。 添加劑可提高結晶速率並改善包裝的光學性能。
全球塑料的多功能性推動了成核劑和澄清劑的市場份額。
塑料在全球範圍內的廣泛使用推動了成核劑和澄清劑的市場份額。
隨著世界上塑料使用量的增加,對成核劑和澄清劑的需求也在增加。 據 Plastic Europe 稱,全球生產約 3.48 億噸塑料。 在包裝中使用添加劑將有助於推動市場擴張。
添加劑可加快結晶過程並改善包裝的光學性能。 例如,2018 年 5 月,美利肯公司在其 Hyperform HPN 成核劑中引入了一種新的 Hyperform HPN-715 試劑。 與競爭材料相比,這種新試劑的剛度提高了 10%,同時保持了良好的衝擊性能。 其熱變形溫度(HDT)高於其他高級成核劑。
此外,我們還提高了聚丙烯的剛度和熱穩定性水平。 新型 Hyperform HPN-715 提高了 PP 的熱變形溫度並提高了熱穩定性。 與其他方法相比,它實現了更快的成核時間。 例如,2019 年 10 月,科萊恩推出了兩款基於可再生原料的新型添加劑:Licocene PE 4201 Terra 和 Licocare RBW 360 TP Vita。
Licocene PE 4201 Terra 是一種高度評價的聚烯烴潤滑劑和 EPS 成核劑。 Licocare RBW 360 TP Vita 是一種多功能添加劑,結合了潤滑劑和成核劑的功能。 Licocene RBW 360 TP Vita 的熱穩定性、極小的揮發性和出色的顏色穩定性都得到了證明。
環境法規將對成核劑和澄清劑的增長構成重大挑戰。
成核和細化特性使其成為工程和工業應用中各種聚合物的理想選擇。 它已廣泛用於現代生活的幾乎所有主要組成部分。 由於塑料是長鏈聚合物,因此它們具有熱穩定性和耐用性。 由聚合物和塑料製成的產品經久耐用且不可生物降解。 現代生活方式的消費模式產生了大量的塑料垃圾。
這種廢物不會分解並在環境中積累,威脅自然生態系統。 每年有近1400萬噸塑料垃圾進入海洋,對海洋的威脅是巨大的。 日益嚴重的塑料污染正在導致海洋生物滅絕。
各國政府正在製定嚴格的新法規,以遏制不可生物降解塑料的影響。 各種新法律規定對塑料的使用處以重罰,強制在紙張、芯材、木漿和紙板等應用中使用塑料替代品,並在 10 年內完全淘汰一次性塑料。
歐盟將在2021年禁用一次性塑料,中國、印度等主要新興國家政府全面承諾到2022年底禁用。 到 2030 年,預計全球塑料使用量將大幅減少。 政府嚴格的環境法規對全球成核劑和澄清劑市場的未來增長構成了重大挑戰。
COVID-19 影響分析
由於全球爆發 COVID-19,成核劑和澄清劑的全球市場略有下滑。 市場收縮的主要原因是各個新興市場對產品的需求減少。 在 COVID-19 爆發之前,由於包裝、汽車、電子和消費品等終端用戶的需求增加,市場已經增長。
消費品是世界上成核劑和澄清劑增長最快的最終用戶。 從 2021 年到 2028 年,該產品預計將以 6.7% 的複合年增長率增長,顯示市場增長。 然而,2019年同一分部為10.4968億美元,2020年同一分部為10.4867億美元。
根據供應管理協會的數據,全球供應鏈中斷迫使 76% 的組織將收入目標平均降低 23%。 在一些行業,例如家庭清潔和冷凍食品,消費者需求增加,企業不得不主要應對供應跟不上的情況。
另一方面,有些行業的零售店銷售額和客戶數量直線下降。 隨著第一波大流行病在 2020 年初席捲各國,作為經濟活動主要來源的消費者支出崩潰了。 消費者被迫改變他們的行為,公司被迫調整他們的商業模式,政府被迫調整他們的法律。 冠狀病毒對經濟的影響極不平衡,地區和個人受到廣泛影響。
Nucleating and Clarifying Agents Market size was worth US$ XX million in 2022 and is estimated to show significant growth by reaching up to US$ XX million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 6.5% within the forecast period (2023-2030).
Nucleating agents help semi-crystalline polymers crystallize faster, including polypropylene, polyethylene, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and others. Nucleating agents provide polymers with better qualities, including flexural modulus and heat deflection temperature (HDT).
Polypropylene nucleating agents have various advantages, including better property enhancement, molding productivity and transparency. Transparency, gas barrier, chemical resistance and other optical properties of polymers are improved by clarifying agents.
Based on the form, Powdered nucleating and clarifying agents are used extensively in the powder because they may produce a smooth texture on the end product surface. Further, the market is segmented into polypropylene, polyethylene, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and others based on the polymer. Nucleating and clarifying agents effectively expedite the crystallization rate, improving the optical properties and increasing the production rate of polypropylene.
The market is driven by the increasing demand for nucleating and clarifying agents with plastic's growing usage across the globe. According to Plastic Europe and the Association of Plastics Manufacturers, around 348 million tons of plastic will be produced globally in 2020. The increasing adoption of additives in packaging shall stimulate market growth. Additives enhance crystallization rate & improve the optical properties of the packaging.
With the expanding use of plastic globally, the industry is being pushed by increased demand for nucleating and clarifying agents. According to Plastic Europe, around 348 million tons of plastic are produced globally. The increased use of additives in packaging will aid market expansion.
Additives speed up the crystallization process and improve the packaging's optical characteristics. For instance, in May 2018, Milliken & Company introduced the new Hyperform HPN-715 agent to its Hyperform HPN nucleating agents. Compared to competitor materials, the new agent increases stiffness by 10% while maintaining good impact performance. Its heat deflection temperatures (HDTs) are higher than the other advanced nucleates.
Moreover, it has upped the bar for polypropylene's rigidity and thermal stability. The new Hyperform HPN-715 improves the HDT of PP to enhance thermal stability. In comparison to other methods, it provides faster nucleating times. For instance, in October 2019, Clariant introduced two new additives based on renewable feedstock, Licocene PE 4201 Terra and Licocare RBW 360 TP Vita.
Licocene PE 4201 Terra is a highly valued polyolefin lubricant and EPS nucleating agent. Licocare RBW 360 TP Vita is a multi-functional additive that combines lubrication and nucleation agent capabilities. The thermal stability, minimal volatility and excellent color stability of Licocene RBW 360 TP Vita have all been demonstrated.
The properties of nucleating and clarifying agents make them ideal for various polymers in engineering and industrial applications. The widespread use has increased to nearly every major component of modern life. Plastics are long-chain polymers that render them incredibly thermally stable and highly durable. Products made from polymers and plastics remain around forever and are not biodegradable. The consumption patterns of modern lifestyles have led to the generation of humungous quantities of plastic waste.
The waste does not degrade but piles up in the environment, thus threatening natural ecosystems. The threat is big for the ocean since nearly 14 million tons of plastic waste are in the ocean annually. Rising pollution caused by plastic has led to the extinction of marine species.
Governments are enacting stringent new regulations to curb the effects of non-biodegradable plastics. The various new laws stipulate heavy fines for plastic use, mandatory use of plastic alternatives such as paper, coir, wood pulp and cardboard in applications and the complete phase-out of single-use plastics by the end of the decade.
The EU banned single-use plastics in 2021 and governments of major emerging markets such as China and India has completely pledged to ban them by the end of 2022. A drastic reduction in global plastic usage is expected by 2030. The stringent environmental regulations by governments are a key challenge for the future growth of the global nucleating and clarifying agents market.
The global nucleating and clarifying agents have seen a slight downfall due to the outbreak of COVID-19 across the globe. The primary reason behind the market downfall is the reduced demand for products from various developing regions. Before the COVID-19 outbreak, the market has grown due to incremental demand from end-users such as packaging, automotive, electronic, consumer products and others.
The consumer product is the fastest-growing end-user for global nucleating and clarifying agents. The product is expected to show market growth, growing at a CAGR of 6.7% during the 2021-2028 period. However, in 2019 the segment was valued at US$ 1,049.68 million, whereas in 2020, the segment was valued at US$ 1,048.67 million.
According to Institute for Supply Management data, supply chain disruptions have occurred globally and 76% of organizations have had to cut revenue targets by an average of 23%. Consumer demand has increased in some industries, such as domestic cleaning and frozen foods and companies have had to deal with the mainly positive difficulty of keeping up with supply.
On the other hand, others have seen dramatic declines in sales and foot traffic in retail outlets. As the first pandemic wave moved across countries in early 2020, consumer spending, a significant source of economic activity, collapsed. Consumers were compelled to change their behavior; businesses had to adapt their business models and governments had to adjust their legislation. The economic impact of the coronavirus has been quite uneven, just as it has affected areas and individuals in drastically varied ways.
The global nucleating and clarifying agents market is segmented in form, polymer, application and region.
Powder nucleating agents are microscopic particles with a lot of surface area, which makes compounding with other chemicals or polymers easier, improving the entire nucleating and clarifying agent process much easier than other forms of the product
The global nucleating and clarifying agents market is segmented based on the form: powder, granules and liquid. The powder dominates the market of the mentioned form. In 2022, the powder segment is expected to account for the bulk of the market share, with 70% of the total market share for nucleating and clarifying agents. The capacity to create a smooth texture on the end product surface and a reduction in the phenomena of pinhole, huge ripple and snow patterns caused by static flaws propel the segment's growth forward.
Powder nucleating agents are microscopic particles with a lot of surface area, which makes compounding with other chemicals or polymers easier, improving the entire nucleating and clarifying agent process much easier than other product forms.
Furthermore, an intensive mixer combines the polypropylene powder and the nucleating ingredients. The capacity of the powder form to produce a high level of finish and a very smooth texture on the product surface drives the expansion of nucleating and clarifying agents in powder form.
For instance, ADEKA CORPORATION offers a wide range of power nucleating agents such as ADK STAB NA-11, ADK STAB NA-27, ADK STAB NA-902, ADK STAB NA-960, ADK STAB NA-21 and ADK STAB NA-71. Each product offers different advantages but has a white powder form in common.
The increase in demand for packaged food & beverage and e-commerce in Asia-Pacific has resulted in companies investing and expanding their polymer businesses and the production line in the region
Plastic packaging demand is rising with the developing packaged and processed food and beverage industry, strengthened by the modern retail and e-commerce sectors. Furthermore, secondary packaging is also becoming more popular due to e-commerce. Flexible packaging, which is expected to reach US$ 7,000 million by 2024 in the packaging sector, is a key demand driver for plastics in Asia-Pacific.
Indonesia is another market leader in flexible packaging in the region, with food packaging accounting for most of the country's plastic usage. The contribution of the food and beverage industry to Indonesia's US$ 1,000,000 million GDP has consistently climbed over the last four years, reaching 6.25% in 2018.
Further, India's packaging sector accounts for around 4% of the global packaging industry. However, India's per capita packaging consumption is just 10.5 kg per year, compared to 109 kg in U.S., 65 kg in Europe, 45 kg in China and 32 kg in Brazil. Therefore, the packaging industry is underpenetrated and offers enormous economic prospects for the market.
Therefore, the increase in demand for packaged food & beverage and e-commerce has resulted in companies investing and expanding their polymer businesses and the production line in the region. For instance, in February 2021, Hengyi Petrochemical, a China-based company, announced to expand of its business in polymers and added a 1 million tons/year polypropylene (PP) plant and a 1.05 million tons/year polyethylene (PE) plant at its refinery and integrated petrochemicals project in Brunei, with the completion targeted for 2023.
