COVID-19 Impact
The Coronavirus pandemic has impacted the polymer industry to a great extent stuttering the manufacturing industry. Currently, the core industries such as aerospace, automotive, and energy are highly impacted. Due to social distancing policy, most of the manufacturing plants of aircraft and automobiles were shut down, which declined the production of Impact modifiers. Global auto production was severely hit by the COVID-19 pandemic with a 16% drop in world auto production. Also, due to supply chain disruptions such as raw material delays or non-arrival, disrupted financial flows, and rising absenteeism among production line staff has declined the market trend. However, the demand for plastic in the healthcare and medical industry for equipment manufacturing will help to raise market trends during the forecast period.

Impact Modifier Market Drivers
Increasing Automotive Production
Impact Modifiers are becoming more popular in the automobile sector due to their excellent strength-to-weight ratio. Impact Modifiers are utilized in a variety of applications in the automobile industry, including automobile hoses, diaphragms, dashboards, sealants, wheel arches, and rocket panels. According to the International Trade Administration (ITA), China is the world’s largest motor vehicle market and is expected to reach 35 million by 2025 in automotive manufacturing. According to Invest India, the Passenger vehicle industry is expected to grow by 22%- 25% in 2022. Thus, increasing automation production will require more automotive components, which will act as a driver for the Impact Modifier market during the forecast period.
Flourishing Construction Sector
The Asia-Pacific construction sector is the largest in the world and is growing due to the rising population. Infrastructure development is helping in the growth of Impact modifiers which are widely used in flooring, slidings and windows, doors. The Construction industry of Asia Pacific has been growing constantly due to urbanization and the government has launched many projects supporting this. The Construction Industry of India is expected to reach the US $1.4 Trillion by 2025 with an investment of 24% on renewable energy, 19% on roads & highways, 16% on urban infrastructure, and 13% on railways with the 2nd highest FDI investment in 2000-2020.
Impact Modifier Market Challenges
Growing Environment Concern
Environmental concern has always been a major challenge in the impact modifiers market. The increasing demand for eco-friendly products is restraining the growth impact modifier market. Polyvinyl chloride, highly persistent plastic particles release dangerous chemicals into the soil that can drain into groundwater and causes environmental damage. Every year, the world produces more than 400 million tons of plastics of which only 1418% of plastic waste is formally recycled, and the percentage is much lower in some countries. Thus, growing environmental damage regarding the usage of PVC products can inhibit the growth of the market since plastics (PVC) are non-biodegradable and responsible for land pollution. The national and international organizations are working globally to reduce their usage to an extent.
