Paraphenylenediamine (PPD) Market Technological Improvements Steering Growth during 2015-2023

Paraphenylenediamine (PPD) is an organic compound and is a derivative of aniline. Paraphenylenediamine (PPD) is a white solid and is peculiarly used as a component of composites and engineering polymers and also as an ingredient in hair dyes. Moreover, paraphenylenediamine (PPD) is a typical precursor to fibers such as Kevlar and aramid fibers. Paraphenylenediamine (PPD) is also used as rubber antioxidants. Dyeing is one of the important applications of paraphenylenediamine. As paraphenylenediamine (PPD) is easily oxidized, the derivatives of paraphenylenediamine (PPD) are used as antioxidants in the manufacturing of rubber products. The substitutes such as naphthyl and isopropyl are also used in the production of rubber. However, due to the less effectiveness and hazardous health effects such as skin irritation, the derivatives of paraphenylenediamine (PPD) are mostly proffered as antioxidants by the rubber manufacturing industry. The optimistic growth in the rubber manufacturing industry is anticipated to propel the global paraphenylenediamine (PPD) market during the forecast period. Paraphenylenediamine (PPD) is also used as a developing agent in the color photographic film development process. Paraphenylenediamine (PPD) reacts with silver grains in the film and then forms color dyes which create the image. The growing demand for paraphenylenediamine (PPD) in such a diverse range of applications is expected to drive the global paraphenylenediamine (PPD) market in the next few years.

As far as regional markets are concerned, Asia Pacific is predicted to emerge as the fastest growing market for paraphenylenediamine (PPD) in the coming years. The main reason for the growing demand for paraphenylenediamine (PPD) in the Asia Pacific region is the shifting of manufacturing base of plastics products and rubber goods to China, India and South East Asian countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam. In addition, the population in these countries is rising at a rapid rate which is resulting in an increase in the overall customer base. Also, due to the economic development of these countries, the disposable
