India Petrochemical Antioxidants Market

Market Overview:

The India petrochemical antioxidants market size reached 14.9 Million Metric Tons in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach 21.2 Million Metric Tons by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9% during 2023-2028.

Petrochemical antioxidants refer to a group of chemicals that are added to fuels and lubricants to prevent oxidation. Some of the common product variants include antioxidant 1010, antioxidant 168, and antioxidant 1076. Petrochemical antioxidants are primarily used to mitigate oxidative degradation that may lead to gum formation, discoloration, and reduced adhesion in gasoline, polymers, and resins, respectively. In India, these antioxidants are widely adopted across diverse industries, such as oil and gas, automotive, paints and coatings, etc.

The increasing utilization of petrochemical antioxidants in the production of numerous essential chemicals, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, etc., is driving the market growth in the country. These chemicals are extensively used for various applications, including polymer formation, rubber processing, oil refining, etc. Moreover, the rising demand for natural and synthetic tackifier resins is also propelling the usage of petrochemical antioxidants for maintaining their adhesive properties. Apart from this, the growing adoption of petrochemical antioxidants for preventing thermo-oxidative degradation in carbon-based substrates is further augmenting the market growth in India. Moreover, the expanding oil and gas industry in the country is also bolstering the need for high-grade additives, such as petrochemical antioxidants, to control fouling of various production and processing equipment. In line with this, the rising usage of gasoline and jet fuel across the automotive and aviation sectors is further catalyzing the demand for petrochemical antioxidants to provide better fuel stability and improved efficiency. Additionally, the emergence of low-density polyethylene, which is used in mulch films, greenhouse film covers, netting, etc., will continue to drive the market for petrochemical antioxidants in India over the forecast period.
