Low Profile Additives Market by Product (Polyvinyl Acetate (PVA), Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA), Polystyrene (PS), and High-density Polyethylene (HDPE)); By Application (Sheet & Bulk Molding Compounds, Pultrusion, and Resin Transfer Molding); By Geography (North America, Asia-Pacific, Europe, South America, and RoW), Industry Trends, Estimation & Forecast, 2018 – 2026

Market Overview

The Global Low Profile Additives market is expected to reach $943 million by 2026, with a projected CAGR of 9.1% during the forecast period. Low profile additives (LPA) are thermoplastic polymers which are added to glass or polyester composites during the production process of composites for enhancing the surface finish and to shun the contraction.

Market Dynamics

Growing demand for low shrinkage and surface finished plastic products, growth in electrical, electronics and construction industries, and increase in demand for high performance SMC (sheet molding compound) formulations from automotive industry are the major factors driving the growth of the global low profile additives market. However, volatility in raw material prices may restrain the market from growing. Moreover, increasing demand for composite materials in emerging economies is likely to gain significant impetus for the low profile additives market share in the coming years.

Market Segmentation

The study provides a crucial view of the low profile additives by segmenting the market based on the product, application, and geography. The product segment includes polyvinyl acetate (PVA), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polystyrene (PS), and high-density polyethylene (HDPE). Sheet & bulk molding compounds, pultrusion, and resin transfer molding are the classification of the application segment. Furthermore, geographical coverage has been offered for each of the major regions including North America, Asia-Pacific, Europe, Row, and South America.
