POLYESTER PLASTICIZERS MARKET OVERVIEW

The global polyester plasticizers market size was valued at USD 0.61 billion in 2023 and is projected to touch USD 0.95 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period. 

An esterified and then polymerized linear high-molecular polymer, polyester plasticizer typically uses dibasic acid and diol as its raw materials. Its molecular weight typically falls between 800-8000. Polyester plasticizers are frequently employed in non-migrating wire jackets/insulation, sticky tapes, gaskets, tapes or oil-resistant pipes or gloves because of their excellent resistance to oil and great migration-resistance to PS and ABS plastic.

They can also be utilized for rubber. It is obvious that a plasticizer can assist in adjusting and controlling the mechanical characteristics of a polymer support film without the need to chemically alter the polymer itself. The distance between the molecules of polystyrene is extended by longer chains of plasticizer, increasing the polymer's solubility and flexibility.

COVID-19 Impact

Unavailability of Product Causes Market Distortion

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with polyester Plasticizers market experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The COVID-19 outbreak caused problems for chemical firms, including as unstable markets, decreased client confidence, and disruptions in import and export operations. The sourcing of raw materials, packaging, and distribution are all parts of the global supply chain. Lockdowns had made it difficult for supplies, equipment, and advance materials to be transported. Additionally, it had an effect on supply and demand, had an indirect impact on markets and supply chains, and had a financial impact on the markets for chemicals and advanced materials. The market's abrupt transition was intolerable and caused numerous disruptions. Aside from that, the companies' business operations have been affected by the outbreak, which has an effect on the overall polyester industry. This has partially impacted the polyester plasticizers market.

LATEST TRENDS

Technology Advancement to Boost the Market Growth

Startups are becoming one of the most important sources of market innovation. However, those are not your only options. Established manufacturers of chemicals and advanced materials still create, manufacture, and sell cutting-edge products and various kinds of machinery through their R&D divisions.

  • By Application

Based on application, the market is categorized into PVC Products, Rubber Products & Others.

DRIVING FACTORS

PVC Product Gives the Market Extra Boost

To decrease dioctyl phthalate migration in plasticized PVC, the polyester plasticizer was created via melt condensation and employed as an auxiliary plasticizer during polyvinyl chloride (PVC) manufacture. By adding the third monomer and adjusting the amount of the monomer, different branching degrees of polyester plasticizers were created. The effects of the branching percentages and average molecular weights of the polyester plasticizers on the plasticizing properties were explored in PVC plasticizing tests. The outcomes demonstrate that there is considerable compatibility between PVC and polyester plasticizers of various molecular weights. PVC materials would have a lower glass transition temperature and better thermal stability in the presence of synthetic polyester with a larger molecular weight or lower branching degree, and higher plasticizing efficiency. As a result, the growth and advancement in the industry will contribute to the expansion of the polyester industry and it will improve the overall polyester plasticizers market growth.

Rubber & Oil Resistance to Accelerate Market Growth

The effects of the content of powder nitrile butadiene rubber and a common plasticizer on the mechanical characteristics and oil resistance of flexible poly (vinyl chloride) and powder nitrile butadiene rubber blends were investigated in order to find an affordable rubber-plastic blend with excellent oil resistance. The findings also indicate that a suitable polyester plasticizer might significantly enhance the mechanical and oil resistance characteristics of flexible poly (vinyl chloride) and powder nitrile butadiene rubber blends. With all of the new innovation, development, and multitasking driving forces, the market will grow at a profitable rate as a result of rising sales. This product's features are the primary driver of market growth.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

High Price of the Product Obstructing the Market Growth

Despite all the motivating factors and benefits of the product, the price of the polyester is the primary worry because it is the conundrum that is preventing the growth of the total market. The manufacture of the goods, its scarcity, transportation, and other factors are the primary causes of the price increase. But there will be a solution to this issue due to advances in technology and many original ideas. The market will start to expand swiftly once there are fewer restricting factors, and a resolution to this problem will become apparent.
