The Latin America, Middle East and Africa Plastic Additives Market would witness market growth of 6.5% CAGR during the forecast period (2023-2030). In the year 2026, the LAMEA market's volume is expected to surge to 1,933.3 Kilo tonnes, showcasing a growth of 6.4% (2023-2030).
The applications of plastic additives are diverse, reflecting the adaptability of these compounds to meet specific requirements across various industries. Stabilizers, including antioxidants and UV stabilizers, are integral to preserving plastics' physical and chemical properties. Antioxidants mitigate the effects of oxidation, preventing the degradation of polymers over time. UV stabilizers protect against the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation, maintaining the integrity of plastic products exposed to sunlight.
Moreover, plasticizers are essential additives that impart flexibility and elasticity to plastic materials. Commonly used in producing PVC (polyvinyl chloride), plasticizers enhance the workability and versatility of the polymer, making it suitable for applications such as flooring, cables, and medical tubing. Flame retardants are incorporated into plastics to enhance their resistance to ignition and combustion. Flame retardant additives ensure that plastic materials meet stringent safety standards in industries where fire safety is paramount, such as electronics and construction. Likewise, the aesthetic appeal of plastic products is often a crucial factor influencing consumer preferences. Colorants and pigments provide a spectrum of colors to plastics, contributing to the visual appeal of items ranging from packaging materials and consumer goods to automotive components.
Additionally, the UAE is known for its ambitious infrastructure development projects, including iconic structures, transportation networks, and urban planning initiatives. As per the Dubai Statistics Center, in 2022, there were 13,236 buildings under construction in Dubai and 1,941 completed buildings.
