Plastic Antioxidants Market Size To Reach $7.74 Billion By 2030

Plastic Antioxidants Market Growth & Trends

The global plastic antioxidants market size is anticipated to reach USD 7.74 billion by 2030 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.6% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The use of plastic antioxidants in automotive parts helps reduce fuel consumption owing to their low weight. Increasing awareness about consumer safety and health risks across various industries such as construction, pharmaceutical, and automobile is expected to boost the global demand for plastic antioxidants during the forecast period.

The increased usage of resins and antioxidants in emerging economies, coupled with expenditures in R&D activities, is expected to further fuel market expansion. The rising use of polypropylene in packaging applicationsowing to their thermal and oxidation resistance properties is expected to drive the market growth.

Increasing effort to manufacture antioxidants globally has resulted in development of the product by market players. For instance, in December 2023, BASF introduced a cutting-edge antioxidant Irgastab PUR 71, that enhances regulatory compliance and performance in polyols and polyurethane foams. With its superior environmental, health, and safety profile, this solution addresses the industry's growing regulatory pressure on substance classification and sustainability.
