紫外線穩定劑市場 – 2024 年至 2029 年預測UV Stabilizers Market - Forecasts from 2024 to 2029 |
UV(紫外線)穩定劑市場預計在預測期(2024-2029 年)複合年成長率為 4.98%。
UV(紫外線)穩定劑是用來防止材料因陽光而發生光分解的化學物質。劣化的影響包括粉化、開裂和變色。紫外線穩定劑用於最大限度地減少紫外線與塑膠表面的接觸,從而減緩光分解。一般來說,紫外線穩定劑有多種類型,包括吸收劑、猝滅劑和HALS(受阻胺光穩定劑)。吸收劑紫外線穩定劑吸收紫外線,具有成本績效,可用於短時間曝光。主要促進因素之一是汽車行業不斷成長的需求。另一個主要動力是聚合物在許多家用產品中的應用不斷增加。
根據國際清潔交通理事會(ICCT)的數據,2023年上半年小型電動車的銷售量達到約600萬輛。全球電動車銷量的大部分(約 80%)集中在四個主要市場:中國、歐洲、美國和印度。中國仍然是全球最大的電動車市場。對電動車不斷成長的需求正在推動整個自動化領域的需求。
當聚合物暴露在紫外線下時,該材料會被紫外線劣化。化學反應會破壞聚合物鏈並改變材料的物理性質。聚合物發生變化,導致衝擊強度下降、顏色變化、開裂等。例如,塑膠製成的戶外椅子在暴露於紫外線時會褪色並且更容易破裂。因此,塑膠中紫外線穩定劑的使用對塑膠製品的耐用性起著至關重要的作用。這些穩定劑經過化學配製,可吸收紫外線並最大限度地減少紫外線與塑膠表面的接觸。
汽車、家用產品、醫療設備、建築、家具等塑膠使用量的增加預計將增加紫外線穩定劑的使用量。塑膠中使用了各種類型的紫外線穩定劑,並用於滿足特定要求。塑膠中使用的這些穩定劑的類型取決於其環境、最終產品的性能、顏色等。
快速成長的汽車工業正在創造對車輛、相關產品和原料的需求。紫外線穩定劑在汽車行業中用於保持粘合性能、延長粘合壽命並保持內部或外部應用的顏色穩定性。
該行業要求高耐用性並在惡劣條件下長期使用。防止因暴露於惡劣環境條件(例如紫外線、高溫和潮濕)而導致劣化。
在汽車行業中,紫外線穩定劑對於保持保險桿、車門裝飾、安全氣囊和儀錶面板等外部和內部組件的物理和美觀特性至關重要。它還可以防止這些塑膠部件褪色、形成微裂紋和降低物理性能。
此外,由於市場對電動車的需求不斷增加,整個汽車產業正在擴張。由於有利的政府政策、競爭激烈的市場競爭以及消費行為的改變,電動車市場正在不斷擴大。電動車的佔有率從2020年的4%增加到2023年的18%。電動車的激增對汽車製造設備和原料(包括紫外線穩定劑、黏劑和其他有機基材)的需求發揮關鍵作用。
紫外線穩定劑市場的主要促進因素之一是建設產業不斷成長的需求。紫外線穩定劑市場應用於住宅的各個地方,以保護材料免受陽光照射。
褪色是建設產業使用塑膠的一個主要問題。製造商使用客製化添加劑來防止紫外線劣化並提供持久的材料耐用性。 Americhem 的 Duramax® 紫外線穩定劑就是此類產品之一,它可以提高塑膠產品的耐用性。這些穩定器可在室內和室外使用,以保護門窗、遮陽篷、覆層、甲板、屋頂系統等。
此外,更嚴格的標準也在推動市場發展,例如戶外環境需要更耐用的產品。這些需求促使最終用戶尋找低維護、美觀且耐用的選擇。根據聯準會的數據,2023年美國建築支出較2022年成長6.53%。 2022 年建設支出為 237,234.84 億美元。
支出的成長顯示對建築計劃的需求增加以及經濟對建築材料的需求相對增加。為此,紫外線穩定劑在建築和建材領域的使用正在擴大。
紫外線穩定劑市場的地理前景
中國、日本、印度、韓國等主要經濟體在亞太地區佔據主導地位。一些成長最快的新興經濟體位於該地區,例如東南亞國協。印度和中國是該地區不斷成長的經濟體,UV(紫外線)穩定劑在自動化、包裝、農業、黏劑和密封劑等行業的應用不斷成長。印度是第六大化學品生產國。該產業對印度GDP的貢獻率為7%。此外,汽車行業不斷成長的市場(該國正在成為最大的汽車生產商和消費者之一)傾向於使用添加劑和穩定劑,例如紫外線穩定劑。
此外,中國正在成為世界上最大的建築國之一。該國正在努力完善政府法規和政策。根據《中國商業評論》報道,新法規可能要求都市區約 70% 的新建築獲得綠色認證。這也包括學校、醫院和公共設施。這些建築需要低碳建築、可再生能源、節水、永續材料等等。這種對建築材料的需求預計將導致建設產業對UV(紫外線)穩定劑的需求相對增加。
The market for UV (ultraviolet) stabilizers is anticipated to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.98% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
UV (ultraviolet) stabilizers are the chemicals used to prevent the photodegradation of the material from the sun. The effects of photodegradation include chalking, cracking, and color changes. UV stabilizers are used to minimize the contact between the plastic surface and the UV rays, which slows down the photodegradation to a much greater extent. Generally, there are several types of UV stabilizers, such as absorbers, quenchers, and HALS (Hindered amine light stabilizers), among others. Absorbers UV stabilizers absorb UV light, which is cost-effective and can be used for short-time exposure. One of the major driving factors is the growing demand from the automotive sector. Another major driving factor is the increasing application of polymers in many day life products.
According to ICCT (International Council on Clean Transportation), the sales of light-duty EVs reached around 6 million in the first half of 2023. Most global EVs sold, approximately 80%, were concentrated in the four largest markets, that is, China, Europe, the United States, and India. China remained the world's largest EV market. The growing demand for electric vehicles drives the overall demand from the automation sector.
When the polymers are exposed to UV lights, the substance is degraded from the UV radiation. The polymer chains are broken by the chemical reaction changing the physical properties of the matter. The polymer is changed, causing loss of impact strength, changes in color, cracking, etc. For example, under the UV lights, the plastic outdoor chair's color faded, and the plastic surface became easily broken. Hence, using UV stabilizers in plastic plays an indispensable part in the durability of plastic products. These stabilizers are chemically formulated to absorb UV light and minimize the contact between the plastic surface and the UV rays.
The growing use of plastics in automobiles, households, medical equipment, buildings and constructions, furniture, etc., would increase the use of UV Stabilizers. Different types of UV stabilizers are used in plastic and for specific requirements. The type of these stabilizers used in plastic is determined by its environment, end-product properties, color, etc.
The burgeoning automobile sector has created a demand for vehicles, related products, and raw materials. UV stabilizers are used in the automobile industry to retain adhesive properties, increase adhesive life, and maintain color stability in interior or exterior applications.
The requirements for the industry are a high level of durability and long-term service under harsh conditions. It protects against degradation due to exposure to harsh environmental conditions, such as ultraviolet light, heat, and moisture.
In the automotive industry, UV stabilizers are crucial in maintaining the physical and aesthetic properties of exterior and interior components, including bumpers, door trims, airbags, and instrument panels. They also prevent color fading, microcrack formation, and loss of physical properties of these plastic components.
Further, the overall automotive industry is expanding due to the growing demand for electric vehicles in the market. The market for electric vehicles has been expanding due to favorable government policies, competitive pricing, and changing consumer behavior toward electric vehicles. Electric vehicle share increased from 4% in 2020 to 18% in 2023. This surge in electric vehicles has played an important role in the demand for equipment and raw materials for automobile manufacturing, including UV stabilizers, adhesives, and other organic substrates.
The growing demand from the building and construction industry is one of the major drivers of the UV stabilizers market. UV stabilizers market are applied in various places within the construction of the house or a building to protect the material from the sunlight.
Color fading has been a major issue for the plastics used in the building and construction industry. The manufacturers use custom additives for the desired UV degradation protection and long-lasting material durability. One such product is offered by Americhem, Duramax(R) UV stabilizers, for the durability of their plastic products. These stabilizers can be used in the interior and exterior settings to shield windows and doors, awnings, cladding, decking, and roofing systems.
Further, the market is driven by the growing stringent standards such as outdoor settings now necessitate products capable of lasting for a longer time. These requirements demand end users to have the option for less maintenance, visual appeal, and long-lasting. According to the Federal Reserve Bank, construction spending in the United States in 2023 increased by 6.53% from 2022. This construction spending was US$23,723,484 million in 2022.
This growth in spending suggests the growing demand for construction projects and a relative increase in the economy's construction material demand. This increases the application of UV stabilizers in the construction and building material sector.
UV Stabilizers Market Geographical Outlook
The major economies like China, Japan, India, and South Korea dominate the Asia-Pacific region. Some of the fastest-growing emerging economies are from this region, such as ASEAN countries. India and China are growing economies in the region, with a growing application of UV (ultraviolet) stabilizers in industries like automation, packaging, agriculture, adhesives, and sealants, among others. India is the 6th largest producer of chemicals. The industry contributes 7% to India's GDP. Further, the growing market for the automotive sector, where the country is becoming one of the largest producers and consumers of vehicles, is leaning toward demand for the use of additives and stabilizers like UV stabilizers.
Moreover, China is becoming one of the largest county for construction worldwide. The country is moving towards better government regulations and policies. According to the China Business Review, new regulations could require about 70% of new urban buildings to be certified green. This also includes schools, hospitals, and public buildings. These buildings require low-carbon construction, renewable energy, water conservation, sustainable materials, etc. This demand for building materials would increase the relative demand for UV (ultraviolet) stabilizers in the building and construction industry.
