Global Non-Phthalate Plasticizers Market Demand & Forecast Analysis, 2016-2032

Plasticizers are low molecular weight, colourless and odourless substances added to a raw polymer like rubber or plastic to increase its flexibility and elasticity. While phthalate plasticizers are made from phthalic acid, non-phthalate plasticizers are phthalates free and have a different molecular composition and toxicological profile. Examples of non-phthalate plasticizers include bis(2-ethylhexyl) terephthalate (DEHT), dioctyl terephthalate (DOTP) and bis(2-ethylhexyl) adipate (DEHA).

Based on type, the non-phthalate plasticizers market is classified into adipates, trimellitates, epoxies, benzoates and others. Adipates are effective for low-temperature applications and are UV light resistant. They are commonly used in food contact applications. Trimellitate plasticizers have low volatility and are show excellent resistance to high temperatures. They are commonly used in insulation of PVC wires & cables and are used in automotive interiors. Epoxies are inexpensive but generally show poor performance. Benzoates are specialty plasticizers commonly used in caulks, adhesives & sealants.

In terms of application, the non-phthalate plasticizers market is classified into flooring & wall coverings, coated fabrics, films & sheets, consumer goods, wires & cables, and others. Eastman Chemical Company, ExxonMobil Corporation, BASF, Evonik Industries, Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation, Lanxess AG, and LG Chem are key manufacturers in the non-phthalate plasticizers market.

Non-phthalate plasticizers that are increasing being used include DOTP (offered by both BASF and Eastman Chemical Company), BASF’s Hexamoll DINCH (disononyl cyclohexane dicarboxylate), Pevalen (a polyolester plasticizer from Perstop) and several bio-based plasticizers. Out of these, DOTP and Hexamoll DINCH are the leading alternatives to phthalate-based plasticizers. Both of them offer effective performance at low-temperatures, and low migration rates.

The global plasticizers market was traditionally dominated by phthalates. While it continues being the largest plasticizer type used in different markets, its share has contracted considerably over the years. Increasing regulations due to health risks from phthalates are driving consumers towards phthalate-free plasticizers, thus driving the non-phthalate plasticizers market. Use of non-phthalates in different applications is also augmenting the non-phthalate plasticizers market.

Led by China, the non-phthalate plasticizers market is dominated by Asia Pacific. Robust demand in the region is also driven by other Asian countries including Japan, India, and South Korea. On the back of growth in end-use industries and rising populations, the region is also expected to witness strong growth during forecast period.
Western Europe and North America are other major regions for non-phthalate plasticizers market. Non-phthalate plasticizers market in the regions is driven by increasing awareness among population, scrutiny from regulatory bodies and health & environmental concerns. The non-phthalate plasticizers market is thriving in the regions not only due to regulations, but also on the back of pressure from retailers. Retailers in the regions are increasingly advocating for no phthalates in electronic gadgets and wires & cables.

Owing to its desirable properties like excellent performance in low temperature, adipates dominate the non-phthalate plasticizers market by type, while flooring & wall covering represents the largest share in terms of application. Increase in construction activities is expected to augment the production of materials such as pipes, sheets and wires, which will further bolster the non-phthalate plasticizers market during the period 2022-2032.

Key developments in the non-phthalate plasticizers market include:

Capacity expansion of Eastman Chemical Company’s Eastman 168 non-phthalate plasticizer plant in Texas, USA in 2018. As a result of this, capacity at the plant was increased by 15%.
Sweden-based Perstop, introduced its renewable polyolester plasticizer Pevalen Pro in 2019. With desirable properties such as low volatility, high UV light resistance and plasticizing efficiency, it is used in various applications including flooring & wall coverings, coated fabrics, automotive interiors and so on. The company also expanded the production capacity for its Pevalen plasticizer by 25 kilo tons in 2019.
DIC Corporation announced the development of its 100% bio-mass derived plasticizer in 2019.
