Introduction of Diethyl phthalate
Diethyl phthalate is a colorless liquid with an unpleasant bitter flavor. This material is frequently used to increase the flexibility of polymers. It is found in a variety of products, including toothbrushes, vehicle components, tools, toys, and food packaging. Diethyl Phthalate is used in several industries like adhesives & sealants, Plasticizers, and Household products. Moreover, it is used as a fragrance, odor, and surface-active agent. Further, it is used as a solvent in a range of applications like cosmetics products, and insect repellent.
Here are some of the driving factors that increase the opportunity for the Diethyl Phthalate market:
Increase in plasticizer demand:
Diethyl phthalate is primarily used as a plasticizer, and the demand for plasticizers is driven by growth of the industries such as automotive, construction, packaging, and electronics. Plasticizers help to convert PVC, into elastic and soft material. The plasticizer presence in PVC impacted specific physical-mechanical qualities like elastic modulus, elongation at break, hardness, and flexibility. The plasticizer used in PVC makes them suitable for a variety of end-use like PVC films, pipes, window profiles, automotive interior trim, flooring, cables, wall covering, and roofing. Increasing demand for DEP in PVC drives the growth of the DEP market.
Rising demand for personal care and cosmetics:
Diethyl phthalate is used in a wide range of consumer products, including cosmetics, personal care products, and fragrances. The demand for these products is influenced by factors such as population growth, rising disposable income incomes, changing lifestyles, and increasing consumer awareness of personal grooming. In perfumes and other preparations that contain aroma, phthalates also serve as stabilizers and solvents. Nail polishes, hair sprays, aftershave lotions, cleansers, and shampoos are examples of cosmetics that include phthalates. As consumer products and cosmetic industries expand, the demand for diethyl phthalate also increases.
Here is restraining factor that may hinder the growth of the DEP Market:
Availability of a substitute:
The availability of a substitute can indeed have an adverse impact on the market of DEP. As concerns regarding the health and environmental risk associated with certain phthalates, including DEP have arisen, there has been growing interest in finding alternative material. Some of these substitutes are non-phthalate plasticizers, bio-based plasticizers, and Epoxidized soybean oil. Non-phthalate plasticizers like adipates, citrates, and trimillitates offer similar comparable properties to DEP and are considered more environmentally friendly can harm the market growth. Moreover, increasing awareness regarding bio-based plasticizers to reduce adverse environmental impacts can hinder the growth of the DEP market.
Conclusion:
The market for diethyl phthalate (DEP) is influenced by several factors. DEP is primarily used as a plasticizer in industries such as construction, packaging, automotive, and electronics, where flexibility and durability are essential. The demand for DEP is also driven by its use in cosmetics and personal care, as well as in industrial applications like paints, coating, adhesives, and inks. However, the availability of a substitute, driven by concerns over health and environmental risk can hamper its market growth.
