Slip Additives Market Segment Analysis - By Carrier Resin
Linear Low-Density Polyethylene held the largest share in the Slip Additives market in 2020. They can be blown or cast as LDPE and are low cost and highly flexible polymers. LLDPE films and sheets have higher puncture resistance, high tensile strength and acceptable low-temperature properties. LLDPE resins are available in a range of grades depending on the form of use. The lower density grades are ideal for achieving a good balance of impact strength and durability, whereas the higher density LLDPE grades are used to achieve higher film stiffness. These factors are expected to drive demand for LLDPE carrier resin over the forecast period.
Slip Additives Market Segment Analysis - By Application
Packaging is projected to witness highest share in Slip Additives market in 2020 and is expected to grow by 6%. In particular, polymer films are preferred for packaging and labelling in the packaging industry. The main role of slip additives in the production of polyethylene and cast film is to deliver slippery properties to the film surface. In addition, growth is due to the growing demand for food & beverage packaging. The use of plastic packaging eliminates leakage and increases the shelf life of the product. Plastic has a strong demand for food packaging products due to its convenience and portability. The primary role of food & beverage packaging is to minimize food loss and improve the shelf life of food items.
Slip Additives Market Segment Analysis - By Geography
Asia-Pacific (APAC) dominated the Slip Additives market growing at CAGR of 40% followed by North America and Europe. Rapid industrialization in emerging economies such as China and India is expected to fuel the sliding demand for additives in the region. Growing disposable income, shifting lifestyles, rising middle-class population and increasing consumption of packaged goods are expected to drive the packaging industry, which in turn, is likely to help the growth of the demand for slip additives. The market for ready-to-eat food, convenience food and processed and semi-processed food is increasing in China. Consumers prefer quality and reliable goods, which increase demand for imported food and beverage products. Moreover, FDI and ready availability of raw material are further augmenting the market. Currently, the manufacturing and other related industries have been affected due to COVID-19 pandemic where most of the industrial activity has been temporarily shut down. In turn, has affected the demand and supply chain as well which has been restricting the growth in year 2020.
