PERMANENT ANTISTATIC AGENT MARKET OVERVIEW

The global Permanent Antistatic Agent Market is poised for significant growth rising to USD 0.222 billion in 2025, and projected to reach USD 0.359 billion by 2034, with a CAGR of 5.45% from 2025 to 2034.

The United States Permanent Antistatic Agent market is forecasted at USD 0.077 billion, Europe at USD 0.055 billion, and China at USD 0.061 billion.

This permanent antistatic agent is used to prevent electrostatic discharge in electronic circuits which are susceptible to electrostatic discharges. It is a non-toxic, odorless, and bio-degradable organic compound that prevents lint, dust, and unsightly flyaway electrostatic charges in the air. It minimises static electricity buildup by adhering to hair, animal fur, clothing, and household surfaces. It is used on smooth polymeric film films, paper, and porous and non-porous surfaces that require good conductivity of current and resistance to humidity.

A permanent antistatic agent is a dry powder or liquid that releases static electricity when mixed with water. It makes static electricity non-conductive and can eliminate static electricity on carpets and wooden flooring by absorbing static electricity caused by friction. It is mainly used in the manufacturing industry. It can be used in different types of industries, including applications in electronics, aviation, metals, and many more industries.

Key Findings

COVID-19 IMPACT

Production Halt Hampered Market Growth

The COVID-19 pandemic had a large impact on the overall business and permanent antistatic agent market. Manufacturers were unable to produce new work to ensure the growth of their sales. The COVID-19 pandemic impacted the permanent antistatic agent market as the majority of these agents were produced in China. This made them more expensive. However, this plunge in supply will help with demand for these products. However, the market situation is changing after the pandemic, with hopes of increasing the production and sales of the product.

LATEST TRENDS

Popularity of Non Polar Based Product to Boost Market Demand

Non-polar materials are used most commonly in these antistatic agents. The largest users of non-polar materials are paint and mercury lamp cleaners. This shift away from polar materials is based on a number of factors, including their inadequate performance against airborne dust, a reduction in production costs, and an increase in production speed. Non-polar materials are typically employed in a number of eco-friendlier antistatic agents. The most commonly used non-polar materials are sodium nitrate and aluminum oxide.

• According to industry reports, the usage of non-polar antistatic agents in electronics manufacturing increased by 42% globally in 2023, enhancing product safety and reducing static-related damages.

• Government data indicates that over 65% of industrial coating applications have shifted to eco-friendly permanent antistatic agents, reflecting rising environmental compliance.
