Recent Estimates of Market Size

Because the volumes of fillers, plasticisers, reinforcing fibres and colourants sold each year greatly exceed those of antioxidants, lubricants, hght stabihsers, antistatic agents etc., statistics about demand for all additives types have httle meaning unless it is known whether these high volume sales types have been counted. The sales of just one type of mineral fiUer - calcium carbonate - are around two hundred times those of light stabilisers, by volume. [Pg.149]

The major market analysts tend to divide plastics additives into three categories, which they [Pg.149]

They usually exclude fillers and reinforcing fibres, which are among the highest tonnage additives, but include plasticisers. [Pg.149]

As an example, BRG Townsend says that in 2001 polymer modifiers took 70% market share by volume and 52% by value, while extenders took 23% market share by volume and 52% by value. BRG Townsend has reported its findings at Rapra s Addcon World conferences over the past decade. [Pg.149]

Freedonia estimated the demand for additives in the US at 2.09 M tonnes in 2001, divided up very similarly between property modifying additives (73%), property extenders (23%) and process aids (4%). Property extenders (defined here as antimicrobials, heat and light stabilisers, antistatic and antifogging agents, and flame retardants) were identified as the category with the greatest potential for growth in the period to 2006. [Pg.149]
