  • How big is the global plasticizer market?
  • The global plasticizer market is projected to increase from $17 billion in 2022 to $22.5 billion in 2027. Various emerging/alternative plasticizers entered the market following the ban on several phthalate plasticizers because of their harmful effects.
  • Are emerging plasticizers a regrettable substitution?
  • This review compiles available data on toxicity, exposure, environmental effects, and safe production of emerging plasticizers. It identifies gaps in scientific research and provides evidence that emerging plasticizers are potential cases of regrettable substitution.
  • Are emerging/alternative plasticizers harmful?
  • Various emerging/alternative plasticizers entered the market following the ban on several phthalate plasticizers because of their harmful effects. However, there are limited data (especially peer-reviewed) on emerging plasticizers’ toxicity and environmental impact.
  • How many chemicals can be used as plasticizers?
  • There are about 30 000 chemicals can potentially be utilized as plasticizers. (1) Phthalate plasticizers are a commonly utilized compound, comprising up to 85% of the total plasticizers in the market.
  • Are there alternative plasticizers?
  • There are a considerable number of alternative plasticizers in employment, without any toxicological data available (dibutyl adipate, diethylene glycol dibenzoate, and bis-2-ethylhexyl sebacate, to name a few).
  • Can green chemistry prevent regrettable substitutions?
  • Preventing regrettable substitutions is a considerable challenge for scientists globally. Green chemistry, (69,70) and intelligent toxicology (71,72) can provide a safe way forward as elaborated in a proposed general framework to avoid regrettable substitutions in Figure 2.
