The growing automotive sector is anticipated to drive the expansion of the impact modifiers market in the future. The automotive sector, commonly known as the automotive industry, includes all companies and organizations involved in the design, development, manufacturing, marketing, and sale of motor vehicles. Impact modifiers enhance the toughness, impact resistance, and durability of materials, which are essential in the challenging environment of the automotive industry. These modifiers are mainly utilized in the production of plastic components that are widely used in contemporary vehicles. For example, in June 2023, reports from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), a UK-based trade association, indicated that passenger car sales in the UK increased by 25.8%, rising from 140,958 units in 2022 to 177,266 units in 2023. Additionally, reports from the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers, a France-based trade association, revealed that global sales of passenger vehicles reached 57.48 million in 2022.
Major players in the impact modifiers market are developing innovative products like Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS), which offers outstanding chemical resistance and thermal stability, thereby enhancing the performance and durability of various materials in demanding applications. Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) is a high-performance thermoplastic polymer recognized for its superior chemical resistance, thermal stability, and mechanical properties. For example, in March 2023, SK Functional Polymer, a France-based manufacturer of plastic resins, launched Lotader AX impact modifiers, including Lotader AX8750 and AX8930. These impact modifiers are reactive terpolymers that enhance the processability and impact resistance of Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) compounds. Lotader AX8750 is made from ethylene, butyl acrylate, and glycidyl methacrylate, while Lotader AX8930 is designed to maintain fluidity while offering good impact resistance.
Major companies in the impact modifiers market are developing advanced products like ethylene-methyl acrylate copolymer, which improves the toughness and durability of various materials while enhancing their performance in challenging applications. Ethylene-methyl acrylate copolymer (EMAC) is a thermoplastic elastomer created by copolymerizing ethylene and methyl acrylate. For example, in March 2023, SK Functional Polymer, a France-based plastic resin manufacturer, launched Lotryl 29MA03T. Lotryl 29MA03T is an ethylene-methyl acrylate copolymer that significantly boosts impact resistance when incorporated at loadings between 2.5 weight (w%) and 5 weight (w%). It serves as an impact modifier, particularly effective in enhancing the impact resistance of High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS) and recycled HIPS (rHIPS).
