Polymerization Initiator Market Size was valued at USD 3.5 billion in 2023 and is poised to reach USD 4.4 billion by 2030 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.5% over 2024-2030. Polymerization initiators are a chemical process in which a chemical species reacts with a monomer to form an intermediate compound that will link with a large number of new monomers to form a polymeric compound. In radical polymerization, these initiators are used to control the initiation by light or heat. Polymerization persulfates, the fastest-growing component, are a category of active chemicals with a peroxide group for each sulfur in their subatomic structure. Electrochemical processes produce persulfates, which are also known as Alkali Metal Salts. These persulfates are used as oxidizing agents and initiators. Because the practical features of those materials remain the same as previously, and they are used reciprocally in big applications, the physical appearance of the persulfate kinds is determined by oxidation requirements and price. Potassium, ammonium, and sodium are the three types of persulfates.
The increase in urbanization and industrialization shows rapid growth in infrastructure. Increasing in the packaging industry and increasing awareness regarding the multi-functional of polymers Also, polymerization initiator materials are included in the various constructions. Rising R&D and increased technological advancement raising the demand for high-performance polymers by various manufacturing sectors will the growth of the market. However, the High cost of complex polymerization initiator raw materials, lack of trained professionals, safety concerns, and growing usage of recycled plastic are the major factors that hinder the growth of the market. The global polymerization initiator market is surging owing to frequent acquisitions and launches by the market players. This will help the organization to increase its product portfolio and serve several non-polymer applications such as textile, mining, water treatment, and farming. The company will also be investing actively in improving the efficiency of the plant and also increase the capacity of hydrogen peroxide in the future.
