Historic (2018 to 2022) Vs Forecast (2023 to 2033) Market Outlook for Global Market

According to the FMI analysis, the global diethyl phthalate market witnessed a CAGR of 1.9% during the historical period of 2018 to 2022. The market stands at US$ 138.1 Million in 2022. The industry is anticipated to foresee an increased CAGR of 2.2% during the forecast period of 2023 to 2033. Increasing demand for diethyl phthalate in plasticizers for the manufacturing of packaging films, automotive parts, tools, and plastic films are expected to bolster the growth of the product market during the forecast period.

Plastic films and bubble wraps are two common packaging materials used in the packaging industry. Plasticizers like diethyl phthalate are widely used in the production of such packaging materials. Diethyl phthalate as a plasticizer is widely used in blister packaging, cellulose ester plastic films and sheets for photographic, and tape applications, as well as moulded and extruded items. The robust growth of the packaging industry owing to significant demand from various end-use industries is expected to accelerate the growth of the product market across the globe.

Market Dynamics

Increasing use of diethyl phthalate in plasticizers for the automotive industry is bolstering the product market

The global automotive industry is witnessing an increasing need to reduce the weight and fuel consumption of vehicles. Diethyl phthalates are one of the main compounds utilized in the manufacturing of various vehicle components. It is estimated that a typical automobile vehicle contains one-third of automotive components, such as a dashboard, interior wall panels, engine cover, seating, handles, cable insulation, truck bed liners, carburettors, and many more.

Polypropylene, polystyrene, polycarbonate, polyvinyl chloride, and polyethylene are a few common types of plastics utilized in the manufacturing of these components. Diethyl phthalate is a common plasticizer used in the production of these polymers and plastics to increase their flexibility. Diethyl phthalates are also biodegradable material that is utilized in the production of automotive parts as well as tubes used in medical treatment and diagnostics.

Rising usage of diethyl phthalate in plastic & polymer industry is driving the industry

Diethyl phthalate is widely utilized in the plastics and polymer industries to increase the flexibility of their manufactured products. Growing urbanization, rapid industrialization, rising consumer disposable income, changing lifestyles, and a surge in the use of polymer-based products in everyday life have all contributed to the growth of the polymer industry.

Polymers are used in a variety of applications, including agriculture, healthcare, furniture, clothing, electronics, housing, and construction. A plasticizer, also known as a softener, is a substance or material that is incorporated into a material (typically plastic or elastomer) to increase its workability, flexibility, or distensibility. A plasticizer can lower the viscosity of the melt, the temperature of the second-order transition, or the elastic modulus of the melt.

High availability of substitute products can limit the market expansion in forecast period

Diethyl phthalate has a wide range of applications in consumer goods, cosmetics, polymers, and plastics and packaging industries. Owing to its various environmental and health issues diethyl phthalate is associated with various stringent regulations, especially in North America and European countries. These regulations, environmental concerns, and health problems have led to an increase in the availability and use of several diethyl phthalate substitutes. The growing availability and increasing adoption of diethyl phthalate substitutes, such as Epoxidized soybean oil (ESBO), trimellitates, and acetyl tributyl among various end-use industries, such as wall coverings, packaging, and flooring are expected to hamper the growth of the product market during the forecast period.
