Plastic Fillers Market by Type (Oxides, Hydro-Oxides, Salts, Silicates, Metals, Carbon, Natural Polymers, Others), by Physical Form (Continuous, Discontinuous, Nano-Fillers), by Region - Trends & Forecasts to 2019
Plastic fillers are added to polymers such as polyolefin, polyvinyl chloride, rubber and elastomers as a replacement to other costlier additives. These fillers reduce overall cost and improve mechanical properties of the host polymer. The plastic fillers may be divided according to type into oxides, hydro-oxides, salts, silicates, metals, carbon, natural polymers and synthetic polymers. The fill ratio of these fillers may vary from 10% to 70% depending upon the polymer and properties required.
The plastic fillers market has grown at a moderate pace over the past few years and this trend is expected to continue in the next five years. The growth is driven by the increasing demand in the Asia-Pacific region. Asia-Pacific is the biggest market for plastic fillers followed by North America and Europe, which together accounted for more than 90.0% market share in 2013. China is the biggest market for plastic fillers, followed by United States, and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5% between 2014 and 2019. The European market is comparatively mature and is experiencing slow growth; probably due to the flat growth of manufacturing and construction sectors. Salts (Calcium Carbonate) are the largest consumed type of plastic fillers having a market share of around 60.0%. Discontinuous fillers are widely used in the industry and dominate the polymer filler market by physical form.
This study aims to estimate the market of plastic fillers in 2013 and project its demand by 2019.
