Competitive Scenario And Forecasts, 2012 To 2020

Industry Insights

Low profile additives (LPA) are increasingly used for improving surface finish and avoiding shrinkage

during formulating polyester and glass composites. High volumetric shrinkage during unsaturated

polyester resin polymerization results in fiber prominence, poor surface appearance, molded parts

warpage and internal voids and cracks, which is expected to augment LPA demand in polymerization.

Growing application scope on account of reduced maintenance cost, lighter weight coupled with

increasing demand for sheet molding, bulk molding, pultrusion and resin transfer molding (RTM)

products in construction and automotive industry is expected to boost LPA market growth.

Automotive manufacturers have shown keen interest in increasing fuel efficiency and decreasing carbon

footprints of vehicles through weight reduction. Infrastructural development and industrialization in

emerging markets of Asia Pacific and Middle East is expected to positively impact the LPA market.

Growing automobile industry in Asia Pacific is expected to further boost market growth over the next six

years. Limited application scope is expected to act as a major restraint for market growth in near future.

Product Insights

Polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) was largest consumed product exceeding 40% of global market volume in 2013.

PVAc is increasingly used for resin thickening in SMCs owing to polar characteristics. PVAc has high

compatibility with unsaturated polyester resin as compared to other products such as polystyrene (PS)

and high density polyethylene (HDPE). Growing demand for PMMA in...
