The plasticizers market is growing at a steady pace because of the increased consumption of flexible, durable, and high-performance polymeric materials in industries such as building & construction, automotive, electrical & electronics, packaging, healthcare, and consumer goods. The market growth is attributed to the growing demand for materials that are lightweight and energy-efficient, the widespread use of PVC and other polymers in modern applications, and the introduction of stricter regulatory and environmental standards that require safer and more sustainable additives. Phthalate, non-phthalate, and bio-based plasticizers help polymers become more flexible, thermally stable, and easier to process. Plasticizer-added products, in comparison to traditional polymer formulations, can offer better durability, less brittleness, longer service life, and easier work, thus helping the next generation of advanced, multifunctional, and environmentally compliant products for various end uses.

The non-phthalate segment is expected to be the second-fastest growing type during the forecast period.

The non-phthalate segment is projected to register the second-highest growth in the plasticizers market during the forecast period. The expansion of non-phthalate plasticizers is mainly due to stricter environmental regulations, health and safety concerns, and the worldwide move towards sustainable and low-toxicity material solutions. Construction, automotive, healthcare, consumer goods, and packaging sectors are turning to non-phthalate alternatives to meet tight regulatory requirements. An increase in consumer consciousness and preference for environmentally friendly products is pushing manufacturers to develop bio-based, high-performance, non-phthalate products. Constant innovations in formulation techniques and performance improvements will further support the market growth during the forecast period.

The wire & cable segment is expected to be the second-fastest growing application during the forecast period.

Wire & cable is projected to be the second-fastest growing application in the plasticizers market over the forecast period. The increasing need for flexible, durable, and flame-retardant cables in construction, automotive, electrical & electronics, and industrial sectors is driving the market in this segment. The use of plasticizers in wires and cables plays a crucial role in improving mechanical flexibility, low-temperature performance, and insulation of PVC and other polymeric materials. Moreover, the increased investment in renewable energy, urban electrification projects, and data center expansion boosts the demand for advanced cable solutions.

North America is projected to be the second-fastest growing market during the forecast period.

North America is the second-fastest growing market for plasticizers during the forecast period. The region's growth is driven by its well-established construction, automotive, electrical & electronics, and packaging industries. The market is witnessing a rise in the use of PVC and other polymer-based products in residential, commercial, and industrial applications. The increased focus on sustainable and low-VOC plasticizers also supports the market expansion. North America has strong R&D activities, modern manufacturing facilities, and regulatory policies that encourage the use of safer and high-performance additives. This facilitates the production of polymer products that are longer, lasting, flexible, and compliant with environmental standards.

Österreichs Arbeitsmarkt hat sich in den vergangenen zwei Jahrzehnten grundlegend verändert. Laut neuen Daten der Statistik Austria stieg die Zahl der Erwerbstätigen seit 2005 um rund 752.600 Personen beziehungsweise gut 20 Prozent auf im Schnitt 4,5 Millionen im Jahr 2025. Damit wuchs die Beschäftigung deutlich stärker als die Bevölkerung, die im selben Zeitraum nur um 11,5 Prozent zunahm. Gleichzeitig legte das gesamte Arbeitsvolumen – die Summe aller tatsächlich geleisteten Arbeitsstunden – lediglich um 2,1 Prozent auf 6,89 Milliarden Stunden zu. Die Wirtschaft setzt damit zunehmend auf mehr Köpfe bei nahezu gleichbleibender Stundenzahl.

Treiber dieser Entwicklung sind vor allem drei Gruppen: Frauen, ältere Menschen und Personen ohne österreichische Staatsbürgerschaft. Die Statistik-Austria-Generaldirektorin Manuela Lenk verwies bei der Präsentation der Mikrozensus-Arbeitskräfteerhebung in Wien darauf, dass deren Erwerbsbeteiligung seit 2005 besonders stark gestiegen ist. Die Erwerbstätigenquote der 55- bis 64-Jährigen hat sich mehr als verdoppelt, ebenso der Anteil von Menschen ohne österreichischen Pass an allen Erwerbstätigen. Bei Frauen kletterte die Erwerbstätigenquote im Vorjahr auf 71 Prozent, ein Plus von 9,9 Prozentpunkten gegenüber 2005.

Dabei verschiebt sich der Fokus des Arbeitsmarktes weiter hin zu Dienstleistungen. Arbeitete 2005 noch gut zwei Drittel (67,2 Prozent) der Erwerbstätigen im Dienstleistungssektor, waren es 2025 bereits 73,1 Prozent. Besonders kräftig wuchsen Gesundheits- und Sozialwesen, deren Beschäftigungsanteil zwischen 2010 und 2025 von 9,7 auf 11,4 Prozent stieg, sowie Bildung, freiberufliche Dienstleistungen und der Bereich IT und Kommunikation. Der Handel bleibt größter Einzelbereich, verlor aber an Gewicht: Sein Anteil sank von 15,2 Prozent im Jahr 2010 auf 13,6 Prozent 2025. Im Finanz- und Versicherungssektor verringerte sich der Beschäftigungsanteil im selben Zeitraum von 3,6 auf 3,2 Prozent, während in der Industrie zwar die Produktivität zunahm, die Zahl der Beschäftigten aber nur langsam wuchs.

Parallel dazu nimmt Teilzeitarbeit stark zu und prägt zunehmend die Struktur des Arbeitsmarktes. Österreich liegt im EU-Vergleich bei der Teilzeitquote auf Rang zwei. 2025 arbeiteten 49,8 Prozent aller erwerbstätigen Frauen in Teilzeit, nach 39,5 Prozent im Jahr 2005. Bei Männern hat sich die Teilzeitquote mehr als verdoppelt und liegt nun bei 14 Prozent. Nach Einschätzung der Statistik Austria ist der nur geringe Anstieg der gesamt geleisteten Arbeitsstunden vor allem auf die Ausweitung von Teilzeitmodellen sowie einen deutlichen Rückgang von Über- und Mehrstunden zurückzuführen. Dazu beigetragen haben unter anderem das seit 2004 bestehende Recht auf Elternteilzeit, begrenzte Kinderbetreuungsangebote, veränderte Präferenzen der Beschäftigten und der generelle Trend hin zu flexibleren Arbeitszeiten.
