Low Profile Additives Market Dynamics

Driver: Growing Demand From Automotive Industry

The automotive industry is experiencing a significant change with an increasing trend towards reducing automobile weight to improve fuel efficiency. Plastics are a vital part of this new trend as they provide substantial weight reduction. Low profile additives are used in vehicles to increase fuel efficiency by lowering their weight and density. Regulatory agencies in various countries have implemented strict regulations to reduce the impact of carbon emissions and greenhouse gases from vehicles on the environment and human health. The demand for lightweight, safe, cost-effective, comfortable, and aesthetically appealing MUVs/SUVs with high fuel efficiency is driving the use of low profile additives in the global automotive industry. The advent of new and advanced methods has revolutionized the production process of low profile additives by eliminating the use of toxic phosgene for developing it. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has also identified control technologies and guidelines for carbon emissions from different vehicles that have been addressed in the Clean Air Act. The rapidly growing automotive industry worldwide is also expected to fuel the demand for low profile additives for use in various applications such as interior parts, exterior parts, and underhood components of automobiles.

Driver: Increasing Utilization Of Low Profile Additives Across Building & Construction

The increasing population in emerging economies, such as India and China, and the ongoing industrialization and urbanization have led governments of different countries to increase their construction spending to meet their surging infrastructure requirements. This, in turn, is anticipated to fuel the demand for low profile additives as they are used in building & construction applications. According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OCED), as of 2022, Japan, Spain, the Netherlands, China, India, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Australia are some key countries in the region wherein the construction industry is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period. Lightweight and high-strength composite parts are the major applications wherein low profile additives in the form of sheets are used as a transparent sheets. Moreover, low profile additive sheets can be tinted easily. They have high impact and heat resistance along with increased optical clarity and excellent flame resistance. Low profile additives are extensively used for the development of various products, ranging from cladding panels to canopies.

Restraint: Volatile Raw Material Prices

The growth of the market for low profile additives across the world is expected to be restrained by the fluctuations in raw material prices owing to the volatility associated with global oil prices and production. Increasing use of low profile additives in industries such as packaging, pharmaceuticals, transportation, building & construction, automotive, etc. is expected to limit the availability of raw materials used for developing low profile additives. Future supply-demand fluctuations are projected to keep the global prices of low profile additives volatile. As the downstream processing of petrochemicals yields the majority of raw materials used for developing these additives, the volatility in crude oil prices due to supply-demand imbalances, seasonal variations, and political instability affects the costs of low profile additives across the world. The global crude oil prices have witnessed severe fluctuations in the past few years. Social disruption in key crude oil-producing countries such as Venezuela, Libya, Iran, Nigeria, and Iraq has hampered crude oil supply, leading to an imbalance in its supply and demand. However, this is a short-lived factor that causes an immediate fall and rise in the prices of crude oil. Major market players are initiating strategic alliances and enhancing their production capacities to meet the rising global demand and utilize low feedstock costs.
