UV Stabilizers Market by Type (HALS, UV Absorbers, Quenchers), Application (Automotive, Packaging, Agriculture, Building & Construction, Adhesives & Sealants), and Region (North America, APAC, Europe, MEA, South America) - Global Forecast to 2026

Northbrook, IL 60062 -- (SBWire) -- 05/23/2022 --The UV stabilizers market size was USD 1.3 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach USD 1.6 billion by 2026, at a CAGR of 5.6% between 2021 and 2026. The global UV stabilizers market is driven by the rising demand for advanced, scratch-resistant, UV-resistant, non-deteriorating, and long-term stable chemical compounds in the emerging markets of plastics, polymers, and wood components. UV stabilizers are available in different types, such as HALS, UV absorbers, and quenchers. HALS is the most common type of UV stabilizer. The increasing demand for UV stabilizers in APAC, growing demand for wood coatings in North America, and continuous product development and expansion activities undertaken by companies are the key factors for the growth of the global UV stabilizers market. The fluctuation in raw material prices of UV stabilizers and stringent government regulations for the synthesis and use of these stabilizers have a moderate effect on making the raw material market competitive. However, a large number of new raw material suppliers of UV stabilizers have also made the market competitive. This creates an opportunity for buyers or manufacturers to choose from multiple suppliers based on application requirements
