The global plastic additives market is anticipated to reach a value of US$ 66.6 Billion by 2032, expanding at a 4.6% CAGR over the forecast period. Significant production volume of plastic all over the globe is driving sales of plastic additives to improve the quality and functionality of different materials.

Expansion in the building and construction sector, rising electric vehicle production, and ongoing development in the packaging sector will augment the growth in the market. Surging demand for polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, and other types of plastic for packaging applications will push sales of additives.

With increasing investment by prominent players across emerging countries, rising inflow of foreign direct investment in the automotive and packaging sectors will bode well for the growth in the market over the forecast period.
