Global Diisononyl Phthalate Market Overview
According to the MRFR analysis the Global Diisononyl Phthalate (DINP) Market is estimated to grow at a healthy CAGR of more than 7% to reach over USD 9.5 billion in 2030. Diisononyl phthalate (DINP) is a phthalic acid ester of isononyl alcohol and it is phthalate-based plasticizer which is primarily used as an additive in PVC plastics, co-polymers and resins. The plasticizers significantly increase the operation ability and flexibility of the various polymeric materials. In market, the phthalate plasticizers occur in a colorless and odorless solid form. The phthalate-based plasticizers are highly durable, economical and exhibit excellent resistance against weathering and temperature resistant. DINP is a high molecular weight phthalate-plasticizer. DINP is mainly used to increase the flexibility of the various PVC products. Some of the substantial applications of DINP are flooring & flooring, wires & cables, hoses & tubes, automobile coatings, coated fabrics, safety gloves, artificial leather, footwear, and toy making. Additionally, DINP is widely used in non-PVC applications such as rubbers, pigments, paints, printing inks, sealants, and adhesives.
The major factors favoring this growth of the market are surging demand from major end-use industries namely automotive, construction, paints & coatings, and toy making. The product is widely used in almost all the rapidly growing industries such as footwear making, plastics, and electricals. This is expected to fuel its demand during the forecast period. In past few years the global market for DINP is growing at a robust CAGR on account of its use its use in manufacturing the food grade packaging materials. In addition, growing demand for the high water, chemical, oil, and fuel resistant rubber in automotive and electronics applications is likely be the key driver for Diisononyl Phthalate market during the review period. However, the volatility in the prices of raw materials of Diisononyl Phthalates and rapid research in the field of development of ecofriendly and innovative products by leading players may hamper the market growth in coming years.
