United States (USA) Antistatic Agents Market Size & Share, Sector / Industry Report & Analysis, 2018-2025 (Includes Business Impact of COVID-19)

                                          
Abstract, Snapshot, Market Analysis & Market Definition: United States (USA) Antistatic Agents Market


The U.S. antistatic agents market size was valued at USD 55.9 million in 2016. It is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 4.8% from 2017 to 2025. The demand is driven by increasing adoption of packaging methods to reduce wastage during transportation and antistatic handling caused by buildup of static charges in plastic packaging materials. A shift from plastic packaging to paper and paperboard packaging is expected to pose a challenge to the anticipated market growth.

  
Antistatic agents are used for preventing stacking of static charges on product surfaces such as plastic and biopolymers. Additives are known to exist in different forms such as nonionic, anionic, cationic, and amphoteric. Anionic additives include sodium alkyl sulphonates, sulphonamides, and sodium alkyl phosphates.
Plastics are increasingly used in food packaging industries as they are lightweight and easy for transportation. As food packaging industry is rapidly growing, use of various types of plastics is increasing proportionally. In U.S., packaging industry is the most significant end user of plastic resins. As organized food retail sector is surging, the use of plastic resins in packaging is further growing. As a result, problems associated with static electricity in plastic industry are abundant; necessitating the use of antistatic agents to counter static discharge problems.
Another factor driving the product demand is the growing bioplastics market. In 2009, the U.S. government introduced Farm Bill, urging federal agencies to buy bioplastics, which require functional additives such as antioxidants and antistatic agents.

Key Players, Recent Developments & Regional Insights: United States (USA) Antistatic Agents Market


The glycerol monostearate (GMS) segment in the U.S. antistatic agents market was valued at USD 15,213.3 thousand in 2016. GMS is an internal antistatic agent and free from amines and amides. It is produced by the reaction of glycerol with fatty acids of vegetable origin and recommended for short-term antistatic performance. It is suitable for blending with polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) and can also be used for PVC.

  
Production of ethoxylated fatty acid amine products takes place when tallow amines, coco amine, amino acids, stearyl amines, oleylamine, and similar others react with ethylene oxide in the presence of a catalyst during the ethoxylation process. Ethoxylate amines are best suited for high-density polyethylene (HDPE).
End-use Insights
Food industry is a vital economic force in U.S. and is witnessing rapid growth owing to increased consumption of ready-to-eat food. This, in turn, is driving plastic industry as a result of increased application in food packaging. Ethoxylated amines, glycerol esters, and other amides are used as antistatic additives to prevent potential hazards during transportation of packaged goods. As end-user industries are increasingly preferring antistatic agents, the market is expected to grow over the forecast period.
Antistatic additives are used during manufacturing process of some products, such as gloves, grounders, mats, polybags, bubble bags, shielding bags, and labels. They are also used to produce automotive components such as stat gun, straps, cleaners, apron, and autoclavable clogs. In the textile industry, sprays, fabrics, synthetic fibers, and lubricants are produced using these products.
