HALS plays a crucial role in the automotive sector by protecting polymers and plastics from UV radiation and heat, extending the lifespan, maintaining the appearance of automotive components, reducing degradation, and improving overall durability. For instance, in August 2023, according to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, a US government agency, vehicle production in the United States increased to 11.77 million units in July, up from 10.91 million units in June. Thus, the expanding automotive industry is fueling the growth of the hindered amine light stabilizers (HALS) market.

The expansion of production facilities is an important trend influencing the hindered amine light stabilizers (HALS) market. Leading companies in the HALS sector are concentrating on expanding their production facilities to increase capacity and meet growing demand from emerging markets. For example, in March 2022, BASF, a chemical company based in Germany, announced plans to expand production capacity for its HALS products at its facilities in Pontecchio Marconi, Italy, and Lampertheim, Germany. This initiative is part of a multi-phase investment strategy aimed at addressing the rising demand for light stabilizers in durable plastic applications and improving supply reliability for customers globally.

Leading companies in the hindered amine light stabilizers (HALS) market are increasingly focusing on launching high-performance light stabilizers to gain a competitive advantage. High-performance light stabilizers are additives used to protect materials like polymers, plastics, and coatings from damage caused by UV radiation and other environmental factors such as heat and oxidation. For example, in March 2024, Clean Fino-Chem Limited, an Indian manufacturer of specialty chemicals, commenced commercial production of its hindered amine light stabilizer series. This HALS series, categorized under performance chemicals, is designed to cater to both domestic and international markets, with a total installed capacity of 10,500 metric tons per year. This capacity positions the series to meet the increasing global demand across various applications.

The increasing applications in the packaging industry are expected to drive the demand for hindered amine light stabilizers (HALS) in the coming years. The packaging industry involves the design, production, and distribution of materials and containers that protect, preserve, and transport products. The demand for packaging is rising due to factors such as the growth of e-commerce, the need for food safety and freshness, and consumer convenience. HALS improves UV resistance in packaging, preserving its mechanical properties, color, and clarity, which is essential for outdoor exposure and extended shelf life. This enhances consumer appeal, particularly for food products, and provides a cost-effective solution by increasing durability and longevity. For example, in August 2024, according to GOV.UK, the taxable share of plastic packaging rose to 42% in the 2023-2024 period, up from 41% in the 2022-2023 period. Therefore, the growing applications in the packaging industry are fueling the expansion of the hindered amine light stabilizers (HALS) market.

Hindered amine light stabilizers (HALS) are chemical substances featuring an amine functional group that serve as stabilizers in polymers and plastics, providing protection against photo-oxidative damage by generating nitroxide radicals.

The primary types of HALS include polymeric, monomeric, and oligomeric variants. Polymeric HALS act as chemical compounds to prevent the degradation of polymers, offering protection to the core of the material. They find applications in various industries such as plastics, paints and coatings, adhesives and sealants, with implementations in verticals like packaging, automotive, agricultural films, construction, and others. Monomeric HALS are effective in surface protection, while polymeric HALS provide core material protection. Oligomeric HALS exhibit excellent polymer compatibility, resistance to extraction, and heat stability, proving highly effective in polyacetals, polyamides, polyurethanes, flexible and rigid PVC, as well as PVC blends.
