UV Stabilizers Market Trends

Growth Drivers

Growing Demand in the Packaging Industry - Owing to its numerous advantages, including enhanced product lifespan and UV protection, the packaging is becoming more popular, which is set to fuel the expansion of the UV stabilizers market over the estimated period. After being exposed to sunlight and extreme weather, packaging materials can benefit from UV stabilizers by maintaining their quality and toughness. The market is primarily driven by consumers' need for durable packaging materials.
Rising Awareness Regarding the Harmful Effects of UV Radiations - Food color diminishing, rapid decomposition of fats and oil, and nutrient loss in fruit juices and milk are all effects of UV radiation, which can also damage pharmaceutical products, household goods, cosmetics, and personal care items. UV stabilizers protect plastic packaging and its contents from the sun's harmful ultraviolet and infrared radiation. Therefore, awareness about this characteristic is anticipated to boost the sector further.
Growing Demand in the Automotive Sector – Increasing disposable income of people, and growing urbanization are increasing the consumption of vehicles. Lightweight materials are commonly used in the production of vehicles considering their advantages in which UV stabilizers also play a crucial role owing to their durability properties. According to OICA, total global passenger car and motor vehicle production was expected to garner 85.01 million units in 2022, compared with 80.14 million units in 2021.

Challenges

Fluctuations in the Prices of Raw Materials – Raw materials such as aluminum chloride, benzene, sodium nitrite, benzoyl chloride, and others are used in the production of UV stabilizers. And the prices of these raw materials fluctuate regularly, owing to this attribute the prices of UV stabilizers also fluctuate and this affects the market growth further. The prices of UV stabilizer raw materials are - benzene for USD 696.7 per MT, sodium nitrite for USD 40 for 1kg, and benzoyl chloride for USD 38 for 1000g.
