Based on type, the hindered amine light stabilizer market is segmented as low molecular weight and high molecular weight. Low molecular weight held a majority market value of USD 0.8 billion in 2022. Due to their smaller molecular size, LMW HALS are easier to incorporate into formulations, making them attractive for applications where homogeneous dispersion is crucial. Moreover, an increasing usage will further accelerate the segmental growth.
Based on form, the hindered amine light stabilizer market is segmented as liquid HALS, solid HALS. Liquid HALS held a dominant market share of around 55% in 2022 and is expected to grow at a lucrative pace through 2032. Liquid HALS can be easily incorporated into formulations without the need for additional processing steps, leading to simplified production processes.
Based on function, the hindered amine light stabilizer market is segmented as UV absorption, hydroperoxide decomposition, free radical scavenging. UV Absorption held a dominant market share in 2022 and is anticipated to grow at 6.8% CAGR through 2032. The primary function of HALS is to provide efficient UV protection, which is crucial in industries where materials are exposed to sunlight and outdoor conditions.
Based on application, the hindered amine light stabilizer market is segmented as plastics, coatings, adhesives & sealants, inks, others. Plastics held a dominant market share in 2022 and is anticipated to grow significantly up to 2032. HALS are added to plastics and polymers used in various industries to protect against UV-induced degradation, maintaining material properties.
U.S. dominated the North American region with majority hindered amine light stabilizer market share and a revenue of USD 0.25 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to expand at a significant pace from 2023-2032. The automotive sector in North America demands HALS for automotive coatings to protect vehicles from UV degradation and weathering. With a significant presence of automotive manufacturing and a focus on vehicle aesthetics, HALS play a critical role.
