Plasticizers - Chemical Economics Handbook (CEH) | S&P Global
Phthalates accounted for over 55% of world consumption of plasticizers in 2025, down from approximately 60–65% a few years ago; they are forecast to account for 50–55% of world consumption in the coming years. The decrease in market share has largely been due to the following:
Diverging trends of plasticizers (phthalates and non
Background European chemicals management aims to protect human health and the environment from legacy and emerging contaminants. The plasticizer market changed in response to the restriction of low molecular weight (LMW) phthalate plasticizers such as Di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) due to their hazardous properties. We investigated patterns and trends of 19 regulated and emerging

and flexibility.1,2 Phthalates (esters of phthalic acid) are the most common used plasticizers.3 Plasticizers do not possess polymeric structure and therefore, they can migrate from a plastic material to the surrounding media. The most com-monly used plasticizer for PVC products is di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP).4–6
Identifying Citric Acid Esters, a Class of Phthalate
Citrate acid esters (CAEs) have been proposed as a class of phthalate substitute plasticizers; however, information on their occurrence in indoor environments is rare. By using liquid chromatography coupled with a quadrupole-Orbitrap mass spectrometer, we developed an integrated strategy that can be applied for target, suspect, and characteristic fragment-dependent screening of CAEs. In n = 50
Study on Phthalates Plasticizers Detection of Food Paper
The plasticizers were detected in all of the 24 kinds of food paper packaging samples by the method. The content of DEHP, DBP and DIBP were 0.33497–211.02104, 0.34484–519.9099, 0.20254–37.67883 mg/kg respectively. The result shows that the method is comparatively simple, fast and quantitative accuracy. But the safety of the food paper
