Diverging trends of plasticizers (phthalates and non-phthalates)
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

Oxoviflex (DOTP, DEHT) - Oxoplast
Oxoviflex is the flagship plasticizer of Segment Oxoplast. Oxoviflex is manufactured on a dedicated production plant utilizing strictly controlled technology conditions. Therefore Oxoviflex is min. 99,5 DOTP and does not contain acidic catalyst residues, methanol or phthalates, which has a positive effect on its processing and finished product durability and working parameters.
- What is the market size of plasticizers in 2027?
- The market size of the global plasticizers is expected to grow from $132.63 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 7.1%. Rising demand for flexible polyvinyl chloride (PVC) contributes to the growth of the plasticizer market. Flexible PVC is softer than unplasticized polyvinyl chloride (uPVC) due to the addition of plasticizers.
- How volatile is the plasticizers market?
- With such a diverse range of applications, the plasticizers market can be volatile as it reacts to consumer trends, seasonality and regional supply. Buyers, sellers and traders must act quickly to make the most of market opportunities. This means constant access to the most current prices and data is key.
- Why are plasticizers so popular?
- By creating viscosity, flexibility, softness and other properties to finished products, plasticizers are in demand from multiple manufacturing sectors for everything from automotive components to medical equipment, packaging and toys.
- Which countries are covered in the global plasticizers market?
- The countries covered in the global plasticizers market are Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Russia, the UK, the USA, and Australia. The plasticizers market consists of the sales of azelates, citrates, ortho-phthalates, terephthalates, and sebacates.
- What is the global plasticizers market size?
- The global plasticizers market size will grow from $93.47 billion in 2022 to $100.74 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.8%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term.
- Who are the major players in the plasticizers market report?
- Major players in the plasticizers market report are Arkema S.A, BASF SE, Dow Chemical Company, LG Chem Ltd., Evonik Industries Ag, Exxon Mobil Corporation, Eastman Chemical Company, Ineos Group, UPC GROUP, and Bluesail. The strict regulations on the use of phthalate plasticizers are limiting the growth of the plasticizer market.
