Antistatic agents refer to various chemical reagents that are added to polymers to minimize static build-up in plastic materials. There are two kinds of antistatic agents, namely external and internal. The external agents are sprayed and coated over plastic products, while the internal agents are mixed and incorporated into the plastic matrix. Some of the commonly used antistatic agents include fatty acid esters, ethoxylated amines, glycerol monostearate, diethanolamides, alkyl sulfonates, alkyl phosphates, etc. These agents are available in the form of liquids, pellets, powder and microbeads, and are commonly used for manufacturing automotive components and polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride (PVC)- and polyethylene terephthalate (PET)-based packaging products.
Rapid industrialization, especially in the developing economies, is one of the key factors driving the growth of the market. Antistatic agents are widely adopted across industries, such as packaging, electronics, textiles and automotive, to minimize or eliminate the accumulation of static charge between objects. For instance, in the automotive industry, the absence of static charge improves the fuel-efficiency and operational life of the engine. Similarly, they are also used in the textile industry to minimize the clinging of fabrics that can cause sparks and other fire hazards. Additionally, various product innovations, such as the development of liquid antistatic agents with enhanced spreading capabilities, are acting as other growth-inducing factors. Liquid variants are primarily used for spraying and dyeing applications as they spread evenly over surfaces. Other factors, including significant growth in the electronics industry, along with the increasing demand for biodegradable and user-friendly materials from the packaging industry, are expected to drive the market further.

The global antistatic agents market was valued at USD 543.9 Million in 2024.
We expect the global antistatic agents market to exhibit a CAGR of 5.06% during 2025-2033.
The rising demand for antistatic agents across various industries, such as packaging, electronics, textiles, etc., to minimize or eliminate the accumulation of static charge between objects, is primarily driving the global antistatic agents market.
The sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic had led to the implementation of stringent lockdown regulations across several nations, resulting in the temporary closure of numerous manufacturing units for antistatic agents.
Based on the form, the global antistatic agents market has been divided into liquid, powder, pellets, and microbeads. Among these, liquid currently exhibits a clear dominance in the market.
Based on the product, the global antistatic agents market can be categorized into ethoxylated fatty acid amines, glycerol monostearate, diethanolamides, and others. Currently, ethoxylated fatty acid amines account for the majority of the global market share.
Based on the polymer type, the global antistatic agents market has been segregated into Polypropylene (PP), Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), Polyethylene (PE), Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), and others, where Polyethylene (PE) currently holds the largest market share.
Based on the end use industry, the global antistatic agents market can be bifurcated into packaging, electronics, automotive, textiles, and others. Currently, packaging exhibits a clear dominance in the market.
On a regional level, the market has been classified into North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Latin America, and Middle East and Africa, where Asia Pacific currently dominates the global market.
Some of the major players in the global antistatic agents market include 3M Company, Akzo Nobel N.V., Arkema S.A., BASF SE, Clariant AG, Croda International Plc, Dow Chemical Company, Evonik Industries AG (RAG-Stiftung), Kao Corporation, Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation, and Polyone Corporation.
