Global Impact Modifiers Market is valued approximately USD 3.7 billion in 2019 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 5.3 % over the forecast period 2020-2027. Impact modifiers are used in plastic resins to enhance the toughness and durability of the resins, which are commonly added to compounded materials. Also, the impact modifiers helps to improve several properties including flammability, processability, weather ability, tensile properties, cost, and heat distortion. Impact modifiers has the rubbery nature or elasticity that absorb the energy of the impact and make polymer compounds more durable in which they incorporated. The growing demand for plastics, rise in urbanization and construction activities, no close substitute of impact modifiers and conventional materials being replaced by engineering plastics in end-use applications are the few factors responsible for growth of the market over the forecast period. For instance: according to Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, on 10th February 2020, Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs announced that 3.2 million houses will be constructed under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Urban (PMAY-U), out of the total sanctioned 1.03 crore houses in India. As per Statista, the production of plastic was 270 million metric ton worldwide, which had risen to 359 million metric ton of plastic production in 2018. Thus, increase in demand of plastics in several industries such as consumer goods, construction, automotive, packaging, textile, agriculture, and medical, among others drive the growth of impact modifiers market. Furthermore, the the market players are relying on various strategies including product launch, acquisition and others will accelerate the demand for this market. For instance: on 24th August 2018, Mitsui Elastomers Singapore Pte Ltd a wholly owned subsidiary of Mitsui Chemicals Inc., has announced the expansion of its TAFMER high-performance elastomers, production capacity. Whereas, prohibition of PVC products across various end-use industries is the major factor restraining the growth of global Impact Modifiers market during the forecast period.
