Nucleating and Clarifying Agents Market, Size & Covid-19 Analysis, By Form (Powder, Granules, Liquid), By Polymer (Polypropylene, Polyethylene, Polyethylene Terephthalate, Others), By Application (Building and Construction, Consumer Products, Automotive, Electrical and Electronics, Others), By Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and South America) – Forecast, 2021-2030

Global Nucleating and Clarifying Agents Market size is estimated to reach USD xx.xx billion by 2030 at a CAGR of xx.xx % over the forecast period. Nucleating agents provide a higher crystallinity level to the polymers which bring improved mechanical properties. For instance, flexural and hardness clarifying agents have the additional advantage of improving optical properties, especially transparency.

The nucleating and the clarifying are very useful in the smaller semi-crystalline polymers. The growth in the nucleating and clarifying agents market is owing to the increasing use of nucleating and clarifying agents in different sectors like electronics, electrical, automotive, paints and coatings, buildings and constructions, and others.

Different types of nucleating and clarifying agents are available in the market on the basis of use for specific polymer types as well as performance modification. The consumption of polypropylene is rapidly increasing across different end-use industries. Packaging, as well as consumer goods, are the fastest-growing segments for nucleating and clarifying agents.

Global Nucleating and Clarifying Agents Market

Covid-19 Impact

With the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, the nucleating and clarifying agents market has witnessed a negative impact where most of the industrial activity has been shut down due to the nationwide lockdown. This has affected the demand as well as supply thus restricting the overall growth.

DRIVING FACTORS

The nucleating and clarifying agents market has witnessed rapid growth due to various factors like rising demand for plastics in the developing as well as developed nations such as North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa, and South America. Apart from this, the growing demand for nucleating and clarifying agents in the pharmaceutical sector offers huge market opportunities for the leading players who are operating in the global nucleating and clarifying agents market.

Furthermore, the increasing use of plastics in different applications is expected to drive the nucleating and clarifying agents market growth. Some factors like increasing demand for polymers in the packaging applications, and their ability to enhance crystalline rate will accelerate the nucleating and clarifying agents market.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

The increasing awareness about the negative effects of plastics as well as increasing environmental concerns is anticipated to hamper the overall nucleating and clarifying agents market growth in the forecasted timeframe. The single-use of plastics is produced from polypropylene and polyethylene in the consumer goods segments. The ban of cans, plastic bottles, straws, and containers will decline the revenue of the nucleating and clarifying agents market.

SEGMENTATION

By Polymer Analysis

Polypropylene Polymer segment witness rapid growth

Based on the polymer type, the nucleating and clarifying agents market is segmented into polyethylene, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, and others. Among these, the polypropylene polymer segment dominates the market. These types of polymers take a longer time for crystallization while processing.

The polypropylene polymer is quite harder and has heat resistance as well as higher chemical properties. The nucleating agents are basically used with polymers that crystallize in increasing the cycle time.  This is mainly used in the packaging industry in the case of plastics solidification rate players a crucial role because it defines the size and shape of the product.

By Form Analysis

The powder segment dominates the market

On the basis of form, the nucleating and clarifying agents market is segmented into liquid granular, powder, and liquid. The powder segment holds the largest share in the market. When the polypropylene powder, as well as the nucleating agents, are mixed with an intensive mixer. Powder-based nucleating agents comprise small particles which creates enormous surface areas as well as decreases challenges while compounding with various polymers.

By End-Use Analysis

The consumer Products segment holds the highest share

On the basis of end-use, the nucleating and clarifying agents market is segmented into building and construction, automotive, consumer products, paints and coatings, electrical and electronics, and others.

The consumer products segment held the highest share in the market owing to the new packaging types and the properties which are enhanced due to the packaging like thermal stability, mechanical strength, and the transparency in the final product. Another factor behind the growth of this segment is the development of online delivery services.

By Region Analysis

Based on regions, the nucleating and clarifying agents market is segmented into North America, Europe, Middle East & Africa, and South America. The Asia Pacific is dominating the nucleating and clarifying agents market which is again followed by Europe and North America. The Asia Pacific is again going to continue its dominance across the world. China is holding the major share in the nucleating and clarifying agents market in the Asia Pacific region.

The healthy and strong growth in the industrial sector is related to the growing population as well as the middle-class economy which results in driving the consumer goods industry.
