Dublin, June 28, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Antifog Additives Market by Type (Glycerol Esters, Polyglycerol Esters, Sorbitan Esters of Fatty Acids, Ethoxylated Sorbitan Esters), Application (Food Packaging Films, Agricultural Films), Geography - Global Forecast to 2024" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The antifog additives market was valued at USD 293 million in 2018 and is projected to reach USD 373 million by 2024, at a CAGR of 4.1% between 2019 and 2024.

The most important agricultural applications of plastic films are a greenhouse, walk-in tunnel and low tunnel covers, and mulching. The key properties for these applications are durability, optical (ultraviolet, visible, near infrared, and middle infrared) properties, and the anti-drip or antifog effect. Condensation of water vapor on the surface of plastic films and sheets results in fog formation. Fog formation in food packaging can spoil packaged foods, while in agricultural films, fog formation can lead to several detrimental effects, such as the reduced transmission of light, leading to slow plant growth and ultimately resulting in low crop yield.

Among applications, the food packaging film segment is expected to lead the market during the forecast period, followed by the agricultural films segment. Increased demand for antifog films from the food packaging industry is expected to drive the antifog additives market during the forecast period. Factors such as the changing lifestyle and increasing dependence of consumers on packaged food items are expected to increase the demand for food packaging films.

However, stringent rules in the European and North American regions regarding the use of antifog additives in food packaging films are expected to restrain the growth of the market. The North America antifog additives market was valued at USD 66 million in 2018 and is projected to reach USD 83 million by 2024, at a CAGR of 3.9% between 2019 and 2024.

Key players in the antifog additives market are Croda International Plc. (UK), Clariant (Switzerland), Nouryon (Netherlands), Evonik Industries AG (Germany), Ashland Inc. (US), DowDuPont Inc. (US), A. Schulman, Inc. (US), PolyOne Corporation (US), Corbian N.V. (Netherlands), and PCC Chemax, Inc. (US), among others.

These companies have adopted various strategies, such as acquisitions, expansions, and new product launches to strengthen their position in the market.
