Slip Additives Market Analysis

The Slip Additives Market size is estimated at 332.01 kilotons in 2025, and is expected to reach 384.89 kilotons by 2030, at a CAGR of greater than 3% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

The COVID-19 pandemic had a positive impact on the slip additives market. During the lockdown, the online sales of consumer goods, pharmaceuticals, food, and beverage products increased the demand for packaged products, thus creating a positive market outlook for slip additives. Post-COVID-19 pandemic, the market further registered a growth rate due to rising demand from packaging and non-packaging applications.

Increasing demand from the food and beverage packaging industry and the availability at low prices compared to substitutes are expected to drive the market for silicone coatings.

The stringent environmental regulations on the use of plastics are expected to hinder the market's growth.

The development of bio-based slip additives and the increasing demand for plastic films in medical applications are expected to create opportunities for the market during the forecast period.

The Asia-Pacific region is expected to dominate the market. It is also expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period due to rising demand for slip additives in packaging and non-packaging applications.

Slip Additives Industry Segmentation

Slip additives are products that can be added to polymers to control friction. They are added directly into the polymer during the extrusion process and migrate to the surface as the polymer cools, allowing a solid lubricating layer to form.

The slip additives market is segmented by carrier resin, type, application, and geography. By carrier resin, the market is segmented into polyethylene, polypropylene, and other carrier resins (polyvinyl chloride, polyamide, etc.). By type, the market is segmented into fatty amides, waxes, polysiloxanes, and other types (esters, salts, etc.). By application, the market is segmented into packaging and non-packaging. The report also covers the market size and forecasts for slip additives in 15 countries across major regions.
