Antiblock Additive Market Segment Analysis - by Type

In 2021, the inorganic segment held the largest share in the anti-block additives market and is forecasted to grow at a CAGR of 4.7% during the forecast period 2022-2027. Inorganic anti-block additives such as natural silica, talc, manufactured silica, calcium carbonate, ceramic spheres and feldspar are non-migratory additives that melt at substantially higher temperatures than standard polyolefin extrusion temperatures, making them ideal for high-temperature applications. Inorganics are generally cheap and well-suited to high-volume, commodity-like applications. Owing to the aforementioned factors, the inorganic segment market is holding a prominent share in the anti-block additives market.

Antiblock Additive Market Segment Analysis – by End-Use Industry

Food & Beverages held the largest share in the anti-block additives market in 2021 and is forecasted to grow at a CAGR of 5.3% during the forecast period 2022-2027. Antiblock additive in food packaging are expected to gain in popularity as consumers become more aware of ready-to-eat packaged foods. Improved shelf-life, combined with increased efficiency in the prevention of content contamination, is predicted to propel the food packaging market forward, boosting the demand for the anti-block additives. According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), in 2019, Brazilian food industry sales amounted to R$699 billion (US$177 billion), an increase of seven percent compared to the previous year. With the increasing food & beverage industry, the demand for packaging is also substantially increasing, thereby driving the anti-block additive market growth in the food & beverage industry.

Antiblock Additive Market Segment Analysis – by Geography

In 2021, the Asia-Pacific region held the largest share in the anti-block additives market up to 45%, owing to the bolstering growth of the food & beverage industry in the region. For instance, according to the China Chain Store & Franchise Association, the food and beverage (F&B) sector in China reached US$595 billion in 2019, up 7.8% from 2018. According to Invest India, India's food processing business is expected to reach US$470 billion by 2025, with consumer expenditure expected to reach US$6 trillion by 2030. The growing APAC food & beverage industry is accelerating the demand for packaging in the region, which is leading to an increase in anti-block additive usage for the use in plastic films and sheets. As a result of which, the market is flourishing in the Asia-Pacific region.

Antiblock Additive Market Drivers

Increasing Demand for Packaging in Pharmaceutical Industry

Anti-block additives are often used in packaging. Government initiatives in the expanding pharmaceutical sector as well as an increase in contract manufacturing operations, are driving packaging demand in these industries. Furthermore, pharmaceutical businesses have typically placed a greater emphasis on product development for competitive advantage than on packaging, which serves a more utilitarian purpose. This drives the growth of packaging in pharmaceutical industries. According to India Brand Equity Foundation, in 2021, India's domestic pharmaceutical market was valued at US$ 42 billion and it is expected to grow to US$65 billion by 2024 and then to US$ 120-130 billion by 2030. According to Invest India, in a decade, the worldwide pharmaceutical packaging market is expected to double to US$149 billion, with India generating a significant amount of plastic pharmaceutical packaging. With the increasing pharmaceutical industry, the demand for packaging will also gradually rise, thereby acting as a driver for the market.

Growing Demand for Greenhouse Films in the Agriculture Industry

Antiblock additive demand is being driven by factors such as the growing agriculture business. Because of their UV and heat resistance, greenhouse films are becoming more popular in the agricultural industry. Greenhouse films aid in the construction of higher yields, reduced water usage and increased crop production. The expansion of the agriculture industry is expected to drive demand for anti-block additives. According to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), in the United States, soybean crop production was 3.1 tons/hectare in 2019 which is estimated to reach 3.5 tons/hectare by 2025. According to India Brand Equity, in FY20, India's total food grain production was 296.65 million tonnes, up to 11.44 million tonnes from FY19's figure of 285.21 million tonnes. According to the European Commission, the production of cereals rapidly increased in Germany from 2018 to 2019. The total production of cereals (including wheat & spelled, rye & muslin, barley, oats, maize and other cereals) was increased from 4913 million (US$5,802.03 million) in 2018 to 6189 million (US$6,928.43 million) in 2019. With the increasing agriculture industry, the demand for greenhouse films is also gradually rising, thereby acting as a driver for the market.

Antiblock Additive Market Challenges

High Dosage Levels of Inorganic Antiblock Additive

The market for anti-block additives is being held back by high dosage of inorganic anti-block additives. Increases in inorganic anti-block concentrations increase density and impact the optical characteristics of plastic film. Furthermore, far greater dosages of 250-300 percent are necessary to obtain performance comparable to Silica or Talc. A higher anti-block dosage will increase haze (lower clarity) and alter the film's physical qualities. As a result, manufacturers are moving their attention to innovative options that provide optimal clarity and strong blocking resistance. During the forecast period, this factor is expected to limit the growth of the worldwide anti-block additives market.

Recent Developments

  • In May 2021, DuPont rebrands silicone thermoplastic masterbatches as MULTIBASETM products. To optimize film processing and assure consistent quality, this masterbatch combines an anti-block agent with a suitable, permanent slip additive.
  • In August 2020, Kafrit introduces a new anti-block additive for BOPE films that are creative and highly-performing. These films are referred to as "next-generation films" since they enable the creation of films only from PE, eliminating the requirement for additional polymers in subsequent layers.
  • In May 2019, DuPont introduced a new masterbatch for PE blown film that combines anti-block and slip properties.
