Antistatic Agents Market Overview
Antistatic Agents Market Size is expected to reach USD 3.24 Billion by 2033. The Antistatic Agents industry size accounted for USD 1.65 Billion in 2023 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.14% from 2023 to 2033. Chemical reagents known as antistatic agents are added to conductive polymers in order to boost volume conductivity and dielectric surface conductivity while also preventing static electricity. There are two types of antistatic agents: internal and exterior antistatic agents. While internal agents are mixed with the ingredients during the compounding stage, external agents are sprayed onto the surface. During the packaging, transit, and storage stages, handling issues arise due to the accumulation of static on plastic surfaces.By forming a layer on the surface, the antistatic agent additives lower the static force and shield the surface from the adhesion of undesired particles. By making the component conductive, antistatic chemicals reduce the possibility of static electricity and lower the risk of electrical shock for users.
Global Antistatic Agents Market Synopsis
The Antistatic Agents market experienced a detrimental effect due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the construction chemicals market through supply chain interruptions, labor shortages, and project delays. Initial demand decline occurred due to halted construction activities, but the market began to recover as restrictions eased and construction projects resumed. The pandemic also accelerated the adoption of digital tools and technologies, enhancing efficiency and resilience in the construction sector.
