核剤と清澄剤の特性は、エンジニアリングや工業用途のさまざまなポリマーに理想的なものです。現代生活のほぼすべての主要な構成要素に広く使用されるようになっています。プラスチックは長鎖のポリマーであるため、熱的に安定で耐久性に優れています。ポリマーとプラスチックから作られた製品は永遠に存在し続け、生分解性はないです。現代のライフスタイルの消費パターンによって、膨大な量のプラスチック廃棄物が発生しています。
この廃棄物は分解されずに環境に蓄積され、自然の生態系を脅かしています。年間1,400万トン近くのプラスチック廃棄物が海に流れ込んでいるのですから、海にとっての脅威は大きいのです。プラスチックによる汚染の高まりは、海洋生物の絶滅につながっています。
各国政府は、生分解性のないプラスチックの影響を抑制するために、厳しい新規制を制定しています。さまざまな新しい法律では、プラスチック使用に対する重い罰金、紙、コアー、木材パルプ、段ボールなどのプラスチック代替品の用途での使用義務、10年後までの使い捨てプラスチックの完全廃止が規定されています。
EUは2021年に使い捨てプラスチックを禁止し、中国やインドなどの主要新興国の政府は2022年末までに禁止することを完全に約束しています。2030年までに世界のプラスチック使用量の大幅な削減が見込まれています。政府による厳しい環境規制は、核剤および清澄剤の世界市場の将来の成長にとって重要な課題となっています。
COVID-19の影響分析
核剤および清澄剤の世界市場は、COVID-19の世界の発生により、若干の落ち込みが見られました。市場縮小の主な理由は、さまざまな新興国地域からの製品需要が減少したことです。COVID-19の発生以前は、包装、自動車、電子、消費者製品などのエンドユーザーからの需要の増加により、市場は拡大してきました。
消費者向け製品は、世界の核剤および清澄剤において最も急速に成長しているエンドユーザーです。同製品は、2021年から2028年の間にCAGR6.7%で成長し、市場成長を示すと予想されます。ただし、2019年の同セグメントは10億4968万米ドル、2020年の同セグメントは10億4867万米ドルとなっています。
Institute for Supply Managementのデータによると、サプライチェーンの混乱が世界的に発生し、76%の組織が平均23%の収益目標の削減を余儀なくされています。家庭用クリーニングや冷凍食品など一部の業界では消費者の需要が高まり、企業は供給が追いつかないという主に正攻法で対処しなければなりませんでした。
一方、小売店の売上や来客数が激減している業界もあります。2020年初頭にパンデミックの第一波が各国を移動すると、経済活動の大きな源泉である個人消費が崩壊しました。消費者は行動を変えざるを得ず、企業はビジネスモデルを適応させ、政府は法律を調整しなければならなくなっています。コロナウイルスの経済的影響は、地域や個人への影響が大きく異なるように、極めて不均一でした。
Nucleating and Clarifying Agents Market size was worth US$ XX million in 2022 and is estimated to show significant growth by reaching up to US$ XX million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 6.5% within the forecast period (2023-2030).
Nucleating agents help semi-crystalline polymers crystallize faster, including polypropylene, polyethylene, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and others. Nucleating agents provide polymers with better qualities, including flexural modulus and heat deflection temperature (HDT).
Polypropylene nucleating agents have various advantages, including better property enhancement, molding productivity and transparency. Transparency, gas barrier, chemical resistance and other optical properties of polymers are improved by clarifying agents.
Based on the form, Powdered nucleating and clarifying agents are used extensively in the powder because they may produce a smooth texture on the end product surface. Further, the market is segmented into polypropylene, polyethylene, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and others based on the polymer. Nucleating and clarifying agents effectively expedite the crystallization rate, improving the optical properties and increasing the production rate of polypropylene.
The market is driven by the increasing demand for nucleating and clarifying agents with plastic's growing usage across the globe. According to Plastic Europe and the Association of Plastics Manufacturers, around 348 million tons of plastic will be produced globally in 2020. The increasing adoption of additives in packaging shall stimulate market growth. Additives enhance crystallization rate & improve the optical properties of the packaging.
With the expanding use of plastic globally, the industry is being pushed by increased demand for nucleating and clarifying agents. According to Plastic Europe, around 348 million tons of plastic are produced globally. The increased use of additives in packaging will aid market expansion.
Additives speed up the crystallization process and improve the packaging's optical characteristics. For instance, in May 2018, Milliken & Company introduced the new Hyperform HPN-715 agent to its Hyperform HPN nucleating agents. Compared to competitor materials, the new agent increases stiffness by 10% while maintaining good impact performance. Its heat deflection temperatures (HDTs) are higher than the other advanced nucleates.
Moreover, it has upped the bar for polypropylene's rigidity and thermal stability. The new Hyperform HPN-715 improves the HDT of PP to enhance thermal stability. In comparison to other methods, it provides faster nucleating times. For instance, in October 2019, Clariant introduced two new additives based on renewable feedstock, Licocene PE 4201 Terra and Licocare RBW 360 TP Vita.
Licocene PE 4201 Terra is a highly valued polyolefin lubricant and EPS nucleating agent. Licocare RBW 360 TP Vita is a multi-functional additive that combines lubrication and nucleation agent capabilities. The thermal stability, minimal volatility and excellent color stability of Licocene RBW 360 TP Vita have all been demonstrated.
The properties of nucleating and clarifying agents make them ideal for various polymers in engineering and industrial applications. The widespread use has increased to nearly every major component of modern life. Plastics are long-chain polymers that render them incredibly thermally stable and highly durable. Products made from polymers and plastics remain around forever and are not biodegradable. The consumption patterns of modern lifestyles have led to the generation of humungous quantities of plastic waste.
The waste does not degrade but piles up in the environment, thus threatening natural ecosystems. The threat is big for the ocean since nearly 14 million tons of plastic waste are in the ocean annually. Rising pollution caused by plastic has led to the extinction of marine species.
Governments are enacting stringent new regulations to curb the effects of non-biodegradable plastics. The various new laws stipulate heavy fines for plastic use, mandatory use of plastic alternatives such as paper, coir, wood pulp and cardboard in applications and the complete phase-out of single-use plastics by the end of the decade.
The EU banned single-use plastics in 2021 and governments of major emerging markets such as China and India has completely pledged to ban them by the end of 2022. A drastic reduction in global plastic usage is expected by 2030. The stringent environmental regulations by governments are a key challenge for the future growth of the global nucleating and clarifying agents market.
The global nucleating and clarifying agents have seen a slight downfall due to the outbreak of COVID-19 across the globe. The primary reason behind the market downfall is the reduced demand for products from various developing regions. Before the COVID-19 outbreak, the market has grown due to incremental demand from end-users such as packaging, automotive, electronic, consumer products and others.
The consumer product is the fastest-growing end-user for global nucleating and clarifying agents. The product is expected to show market growth, growing at a CAGR of 6.7% during the 2021-2028 period. However, in 2019 the segment was valued at US$ 1,049.68 million, whereas in 2020, the segment was valued at US$ 1,048.67 million.
According to Institute for Supply Management data, supply chain disruptions have occurred globally and 76% of organizations have had to cut revenue targets by an average of 23%. Consumer demand has increased in some industries, such as domestic cleaning and frozen foods and companies have had to deal with the mainly positive difficulty of keeping up with supply.
On the other hand, others have seen dramatic declines in sales and foot traffic in retail outlets. As the first pandemic wave moved across countries in early 2020, consumer spending, a significant source of economic activity, collapsed. Consumers were compelled to change their behavior; businesses had to adapt their business models and governments had to adjust their legislation. The economic impact of the coronavirus has been quite uneven, just as it has affected areas and individuals in drastically varied ways.
The global nucleating and clarifying agents market is segmented in form, polymer, application and region.
Powder nucleating agents are microscopic particles with a lot of surface area, which makes compounding with other chemicals or polymers easier, improving the entire nucleating and clarifying agent process much easier than other forms of the product
The global nucleating and clarifying agents market is segmented based on the form: powder, granules and liquid. The powder dominates the market of the mentioned form. In 2022, the powder segment is expected to account for the bulk of the market share, with 70% of the total market share for nucleating and clarifying agents. The capacity to create a smooth texture on the end product surface and a reduction in the phenomena of pinhole, huge ripple and snow patterns caused by static flaws propel the segment's growth forward.
Powder nucleating agents are microscopic particles with a lot of surface area, which makes compounding with other chemicals or polymers easier, improving the entire nucleating and clarifying agent process much easier than other product forms.
Furthermore, an intensive mixer combines the polypropylene powder and the nucleating ingredients. The capacity of the powder form to produce a high level of finish and a very smooth texture on the product surface drives the expansion of nucleating and clarifying agents in powder form.
For instance, ADEKA CORPORATION offers a wide range of power nucleating agents such as ADK STAB NA-11, ADK STAB NA-27, ADK STAB NA-902, ADK STAB NA-960, ADK STAB NA-21 and ADK STAB NA-71. Each product offers different advantages but has a white powder form in common.
The increase in demand for packaged food & beverage and e-commerce in Asia-Pacific has resulted in companies investing and expanding their polymer businesses and the production line in the region
Plastic packaging demand is rising with the developing packaged and processed food and beverage industry, strengthened by the modern retail and e-commerce sectors. Furthermore, secondary packaging is also becoming more popular due to e-commerce. Flexible packaging, which is expected to reach US$ 7,000 million by 2024 in the packaging sector, is a key demand driver for plastics in Asia-Pacific.
Indonesia is another market leader in flexible packaging in the region, with food packaging accounting for most of the country's plastic usage. The contribution of the food and beverage industry to Indonesia's US$ 1,000,000 million GDP has consistently climbed over the last four years, reaching 6.25% in 2018.
Further, India's packaging sector accounts for around 4% of the global packaging industry. However, India's per capita packaging consumption is just 10.5 kg per year, compared to 109 kg in U.S., 65 kg in Europe, 45 kg in China and 32 kg in Brazil. Therefore, the packaging industry is underpenetrated and offers enormous economic prospects for the market.
Therefore, the increase in demand for packaged food & beverage and e-commerce has resulted in companies investing and expanding their polymer businesses and the production line in the region. For instance, in February 2021, Hengyi Petrochemical, a China-based company, announced to expand of its business in polymers and added a 1 million tons/year polypropylene (PP) plant and a 1.05 million tons/year polyethylene (PE) plant at its refinery and integrated petrochemicals project in Brunei, with the completion targeted for 2023.
