Global UV Absorber UV-531 Market Strategic Research Report

Scope of the Report

The global UV Absorber UV-531 market size is predicted to grow from US$ 212 million in 2025 to US$ 276 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.8% from 2026 to 2032.

In 2025, the global production of UV Absorber UV-531 was approximately 27,300 tons, with an average selling price of approximately US$7,938 per ton. The production capacity in 2025 was 31,200 tons, with an average gross profit margin of approximately 10% - 20%. UV-531 is a highly effective benzophenone-type anti-aging additive, chemically known as 2-hydroxy-4-n-octoxybenzophenone. It strongly absorbs ultraviolet light in the 240-340 nm range, protecting polymers (such as plastics, coatings, and rubber) from UV damage by converting UV energy into harmless heat. This prevents material discoloration, yellowing, and degradation of physical properties. It is suitable for food contact materials and features non-toxicity, good compatibility, and low migration.

The core upstream raw materials for UV-531 are basic chemical products such as resorcinol, aluminum trichloride, and octanoyl chloride. Its downstream applications are highly concentrated in the plastics industry, where it is widely used as a key light stabilizer in general-purpose plastics such as polypropylene, polyethylene, and polyvinyl chloride, used in outdoor building materials, automotive parts, packaging films, and synthetic fibers, to prevent aging, yellowing, and performance degradation caused by sunlight and ultraviolet radiation.

Global key UV Absorber UV-531 players cover BASF, SONGWON Industrial, ADEKA, Everlight Chemical, Suzhou Wedo Chemicals, etc.
