Increasing demand from the food and beverage packaging industry and the availability at low prices compared to substitutes are expected to drive the market for silicone coatings.

The stringent environmental regulations on the use of plastics are expected to hinder the market's growth.

The development of bio-based slip additives and the increasing demand for plastic films in medical applications are expected to create opportunities for the market during the forecast period.

The Asia-Pacific region is expected to dominate the market. It is also expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period due to rising demand for slip additives in packaging and non-packaging applications.

Slip Additives Industry Segmentation

Slip additives are products that can be added to polymers to control friction. They are added directly into the polymer during the extrusion process and migrate to the surface as the polymer cools, allowing a solid lubricating layer to form.

The slip additives market is segmented by carrier resin, type, application, and geography. By carrier resin, the market is segmented into polyethylene, polypropylene, and other carrier resins (polyvinyl chloride, polyamide, etc.). By type, the market is segmented into fatty amides, waxes, polysiloxanes, and other types (esters, salts, etc.). By application, the market is segmented into packaging and non-packaging. The report also covers the market size and forecasts for slip additives in 15 countries across major regions. 

For each segment, the market sizing and forecasts have been done on the basis of volume (tons).

Slip Additives Market Size Summary

The slip additives market is poised for steady growth, driven by increasing demand in the food and beverage packaging industry and the pharmaceutical sector. The market's expansion is supported by the rising use of plastic packaging, which enhances product shelf life and minimizes leakage. The packaging segment is expected to be the most significant application area for slip additives, with polymer films being preferred for their slip properties. The trend towards reducing single-use plastics is anticipated to boost the demand for polyolefin plastic packaging films, further propelling the market. Despite the positive outlook, stringent environmental regulations on plastic usage pose challenges to market growth. However, the development of bio-based slip additives and the growing demand for plastic films in medical applications present new opportunities for the market.

The Asia-Pacific region is expected to dominate the slip additives market, with China, India, and Japan leading the charge. The region's growth is fueled by factors such as a burgeoning middle-class population, rapid industrialization, and increased consumption of packaged products. The food and beverage industries in China and India, along with the pharmaceutical sector in India, are significant contributors to the rising demand for slip additives. Additionally, Japan's expanding e-commerce market is driving packaging applications, further supporting market growth. The slip additives market is characterized by partial fragmentation, with key players like Croda International Plc, Evonik Industries AG, Lonza, PMC Group, Inc., and The Lubrizol Corporation playing pivotal roles in shaping the industry's landscape.
