Antistatic agents are crucial in reducing static electricity, with growing demand in industrial packaging and new coatings expanding applications.
Antistatic agents prevent or reduce accumulation of static electricity on surfaces. Fatty acid esters, quaternary ammonium compounds, alkylsulfonates, ethoxylated amines, and alkylphosphates are some of the widely used antistatic agents. Antistatic agent eliminates problems such as dust pick up, and electrical discharge
Growing industrial packaging industry is expected to boost demand for antistatic agents over the forecast period. Antistatic agent is widely used in packaging to prevent static build-up that may damage goods such as electronic components. Moreover, dust and other fine particles are not drawn to the packaging surface as antistatic agents dissipate charge from the surface. According to a Coherent Market Insights’ study, industrial packaging market is projected to reach US$ 97.2 billion by 2025 and to exhibit a CAGR of 6.1% over the forecast period (2017-2025). Therefore, significant growth in the global industrial packaging market is expected to boost growth of the antistatic agents market.

New antistatic coatings available in the market are used in windows, specialty papers, instrument housings, photographic films, construction and building materials, release coatings, and packaging materials such as trays. Increasing demand for antistatic coatings for various applications is expected to contribute to significant growth of the market. According to the British Coating Federation, the paints and coating industry in the U.K. was valued at US$ 2.4 billion in 2016.
Major players operating in the global antistatic agents market include, Akzo Nobel N.V., 3M Company, BASF SE, Ampacet Corporation, DowDuPont Inc., Arkema Group, BASF-LAWSUIT-95e84a04-e252-4d6e-a752-385822505523>Clariant AG, Croda International plc., Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation, Kenrich Petrochemicals Inc., and Solvay S.A. among others.
Antistatic agents reduce buildup of static electricity in polymers to stop handling problems and dust building during storage and transportation. Growing e-commerce packaging market is a major factor driving growth of the global antistatic agents market. According to Coherent Market Insights’ analysis, the e-commerce packaging market is projected to register a CAGR of 5.76% over the forecast period (2017 – 2025), reaching US$ 33.89 billion by 2025.
Market Dynamics
North America accounted for the second largest market share in 2017, in the global antistatic agents market. This is owing to increasing demand for plastic from packaging industry. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), around 33.40 million tons of plastic was produced in 2014 and it increased to 34.5 million tons in 2015, in the U.S. This in turn is driving the antistatic agents market as it is widely used to prevent static buildup in plastic industry.
