Antistatic Agents Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2018-2026

 

Antistatic agents prevent or reduce the accumulation of static electricity on surfaces. Antistatic agents that are commonly used include fatty acid esters, quaternary ammonium compounds, alkyl sulfonates, ethoxylated amines, and alkyl phosphates. An antistatic agent eliminates issues such as dust accumulation and electrical discharge.

Over the forecast period, the growing industrial packaging industry is expected to drive up demand for antistatic agents. Antistatic agents are widely used in packaging to prevent static build-up, which can damage goods such as electronic components. Furthermore, dust and other fine particles are not drawn to the packaging surface because antistatic agents dissipate charge from the surface.

Antistatic Agents Market are mostly used in spraying and efficient dyeing. The use of liquid antistatic agents produces non-sticky surfaces with effective antistatic properties, which improves textile weaving operations.

The increasing demand for antistatic agents from the packaging, electronics, and textiles industries is driving the growth of this market. Rising population, ongoing urbanization, and rising middle-class disposable income are the primary factors driving global growth in the packaging, electronics, and textile industries. This, in turn, is expected to propel the global Antistatic Agents Market. The report on the Global Antistatic Agents Market provides a comprehensive analysis of the market.

Antistatic Agents Market are applied to material surfaces to prevent the accumulation of static electrical charge as a result of electron transfer. It conducts the material either by being conductive or by absorbing moisture from its surroundings. These agents are biodegradable, contain no sodium or potassium, and pose no environmental risk. Some anti-static agents are quaternary ammonium salts, long-chain aliphatic amines and amides, polyethylene glycol, phosphoric acid esters, long-chain alkylphenols, ethoxylated amines, and glycerol esters.
