Report Highlights

The global market for fitness apps is estimated to increase from $2.1 billion in 2022 to reach $4.9 billion by 2027, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.1% from 2022 through 2027.

Summary:

Plastics have long been as an ideal material of choice across an array of end-user industries. Recently, they played a key role during the COVID-19 pandemic by serving as the basis for a range of products, from personal protective equipment to packaging solutions for e-commerce channels. Over the years, plastics have proven their true potential, and they continue to do so. As a result, the polymer industry substantially contributes to the economic development and growth of various industries in economies around the world, including food packaging, building and construction, automotive, healthcare, electrical and electronics, and agriculture.

Nucleating and clarifying agents, which are a kind of plastic additive, are an important element of the polymer industry. They are defined as the compounds or compositions that help improve the physical and mechanical properties of polymer materials, and they find broad applications across semi-crystalline polymers. The crystallization rate as well as the size of crystals greatly contribute to determining the mechanical and optical properties of polymers.

Nucleating and clarifying agents can be used to speed up the crystallization process and adjust the shape and size of the crystal forms. Nucleating agents are mostly used in semi-crystalline polymer plastic materials such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polyetheretherketone (PEEK).

The addition of nucleating agents can enhance the properties of plastics, such as stiffness, heat resistance and transparency. They are considered to be environmentally friendly as they aid in energy saving and in meeting the needs of the circular economy.

This is particularly useful in industries where high-performance materials are required. The development of new and more effective nucleating agents has made it easier to incorporate them into plastics and achieve the desired properties. Nucleating agents are relatively inexpensive and can improve the properties of plastics without significantly increasing their cost.

A majority of nucleating and clarifying agents are used to improve the properties of polymers used in applications such as packaging, building and construction, automotive, consumer products and agricultural films. The market for nucleating and clarifying agents is currently dominated by packaging applications. This is mainly due to the growing consumer demand for packaged goods across the world, especially in the economies of Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and Africa.

At present, the world economy is still recovering from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and is grappling with the ramifications of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. In addition, it is coping with the pressure resulting from the slowing down of the economies of China and U.S. as well as rising inflation. These factors a collectively anticipated to create an impact on global plastics as well as nucleating and clarifying market.
