Global Polymerization Initiator Market , 2024-2030

Initiators are often used in chain-growth polymerization such as radical polymerization to regulate initiation by heat or light. The most widely used initiators produce free radicals include persulfate, peroxides and aliphatic azo compounds. Which are used to polymerize vinyl chloride, methyl methacrylate, and other monomers. The solubility and decomposition temperature are the two main reasons to be choose the type of initiator used for free-radical polymerization, and it should be soluble in the solvent, and the decomposition temperature of the particular initiator must have below boiling point.

Persulfates are strong oxidants which have excellent shelf life, and they are economical

to use. These well-known persulfates include ammonium persulfate, sodium persulfate and potassium persulfate, which all are used as initiators for emulsion polymerization reactions, individually or in combinations.

Thermal polymerization initiators are compounds that generate radicals or cations upon exposure to heat. The azo compounds such as 2,2'-azobis (Isobutyronitrile) (AIBN) and organic peroxides such as benzoyl peroxide (BPO) are well-known thermal radical initiators, and benzenesulfonic acid esters and alkylsulfonium salts have been developed as thermal cation initiators. The organic peroxide is used as an initiator for the radical polymerization process of monomers, which includes can be further classified as diacyl peroxides, hydroperoxides, dialkyl peroxides, peroxy ketals, and peroxy (di) carbonates. It has excellent oxidizing properties. Most of the polymer industry preferred organic peroxides for manufacturing polyester, acrylic resins and PVC.

The global polymerization initiator market research report sheds light on the market circumstances by carrying out primary and secondary research for more than 320 hours. As per the report, the global polymerization Initiator market is growing at a fast pace and increasing its geographical footprint rapidly. The global polymerization Initiator market is valued at US $ xxx million dollars in 2019 which is forecast to grow at CAGR of xx% and reach a massive US $ xxx million dollars by the end of 2024 in value.

The growth is comparatively higher in Asia Pacific region due largest consumer of these initiators, which tends to increase the production in this region. The major growth driver for polymerization Initiator market globally is increasing demand from various end- users industry, such as food processing, automotive, electrical & electronics and building & construction. Also, the increasing demand of organic peroxides from the coating, adhesives, and elastomer industry globally.
