Market Dynamics

What are the Factors Propelling Global Sales of Synthetic hydrotalcite?

“Growing Consumer Awareness”

A rise in health and environmental awareness among the consumers has increased the sales of synthetic hydrotalcite. Consumers are becoming cautious about the product they use; they want materials that are safe and more environmental-friendly. As a result, manufacturers are changing their products to fill them with safe additives like synthetic hydrotalcite.

The demand for clean-label products and the requirement of transparency in ingredient sourcing is leading companies to adopt synthetic hydrotalcite in their formulation, thereby propelling its sales in the market. This will lead to increased usage of synthetic hydrotalcite in the formulations as manufacturers try to meet consumer demands and maintain brand reputation.

“Global shift towards sustainability”

A large force behind the synthetic hydrotalcite's sales is the world shifting towards sustainability. As more pressure is applied towards industries to act in a very eco-friendly manner, synthetic hydrotalcite becomes one viable solution. Enhancing the properties of biodegradable materials enhances its attractiveness in the eyes of manufacturers that try to abide by and meet the expectations of environmental regulations.

It can be seen very well in plastics and packaging. Manufacturers are looking to substitute the existing additives with newer sustainable alternatives.
