The global impact modifier market size is expected to reach USD 5.53 billion by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.4% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc. Surging demand for impact modifiers, particularly from the construction and automotive industries, is estimated to provide a fillip to the market during the forecast period.
Impact modifiers find wide application in packaging, consumer goods, automotive, construction, and other industrial sectors. The packaging sector is the most prominent application segment for impact modifiers. They are used for clear packaging applications that offer an ideal balance between crease whitening resistance and clarity. Rapid increase in the usage of plastic packaging in various end-use industries such as industrial goods, personal care, food & beverage, and household products is projected to fuel growth prospects.
PVC application will continue to provide substantial growth opportunities for the impact modifier market over the forecast period. Easy and low-cost availability is likely to boost the demand for the product in PVC applications over the forecast period. Engineering plastics will also be a promising application segment for the product.
Rising demand from major economies in Asia Pacific such as China and India in various end-use industries is anticipated to help the market gain momentum over the forecast period. However, volatility in raw material prices is posing a challenge to the growth of the market at global level. Furthermore, slow economic recovery and increasing environmental concerns are limiting the market from realizing its utmost potential.
