(EMAILWIRE.COM, October 13, 2021 ) The antistatic agents market is projected to grow from USD 437 million to USD 594 million by 2024, at a CAGR of 6.3% from 2019 to 2024. The growth of this market can be attributed to the increasing demand for antistatic agents from the packaging, electronics, and textiles industries. Antistatic agents are added to polymers to remove or reduce the static charge that has accumulated over their surfaces either by reducing the generation of electric charge or increasing the rate of charge dissipation, or both. This static charge accumulation results in processing complexities, attraction and deposition of dust particles, explosions, or fire hazards.
