Polymerization initiators are crucial compounds that kickstart the process of turning monomers into polymers, forming the basis of plastics and other materials. They trigger chemical reactions, generating reactive intermediates that link monomers together, creating long chains. Through thermal or photochemical means, initiators facilitate polymerization in various industries, from packaging to electronics.
The global polymerization initiators market is projected to reach a valuation of US$ 1.3 Billion in 2022, with sales growing at a 4.9% CAGR during the forecast period. Against this backdrop, the polymerization initiators market size will reach US$ 2.1 Billion by 2032.
Polymerization initiators are chemical substances that react with a monomer to form an intermediate which can link with many other monomers sequentially to form a polymeric compound. The substantial production volume of plastics all over the globe is fueling the demand for initiators.
Although peroxide is in high demand, sales of persulfate are expected to gain traction during the forecast period owing to its extensive usage in the manufacturing of polymers. The quantity and type of initiators are determined by the type of monomers and the applications in which they will be used.
These initiators are used in radical polymerization to control heat or light initiation. Polyethylene, polypropylene, and PVC are common plastics used in a variety of end-use industries. The growth in the initiators market will be aided by increasing demand for these plastics.
