Düsseldorf, Germany — December 2025

As major international trade fairs in Düsseldorf conclude a busy 2025 season for the global chemical and safety industries, companies and stakeholders across the Acetyl Tributyl Citrate (ATBC) market are reassessing how international exhibitions and policy-driven discussions are influencing demand for safer and more sustainable plasticizers.

The A+A 2025 International Trade Fair & Congress for Safety and Health at Work, held from November 4–7, 2025, served as a key platform for showcasing innovations in personal protective equipment (PPE), occupational health solutions, and workplace safety technologies. While ATBC itself was not a primary focus of the exhibition, the event’s strong emphasis on sustainability, material safety, and hazard mitigation reflected broader industry trends directly impacting the market for safer chemical additives.

According to event organizers, A+A 2025 attracted more than 2,300 exhibitors and approximately 67,000 professional visitors from over 150 countries, underscoring its role as one of the world’s most influential gatherings for safety, health, and industrial protection. Sustainability and safety-oriented material selection emerged as central themes throughout the exhibition and conference program.

Industry analysts note that these themes are closely aligned with the value proposition of Acetyl Tributyl Citrate, a non-phthalate citrate ester widely recognized for its favorable toxicological profile. ATBC is increasingly used as a safer plasticizer in food-contact materials, medical devices, flexible PVC products, and other applications where regulatory compliance and human health considerations are critical.

Although ATBC did not feature prominently in exhibitor showcases, observers suggest that the fair’s overarching focus on safer chemicals, regulatory compliance, and sustainable material solutions highlights the structural demand drivers supporting continued global adoption of non-phthalate plasticizers such as ATBC.

As regulatory scrutiny intensifies worldwide and end-users place greater emphasis on health, safety, and environmental responsibility, ATBC is expected to remain strategically positioned within the evolving landscape of sustainable plasticizer solutions.
