Market Definition
A defoamer is a chemical additive used as an anti-foaming agent in industrial process liquids to destabilize foam formation rapidly. It inhibits foam formation and reduces surface tension. Polydimethylsiloxanes, silicones, stearates, glycols, and inorganics such as talc and silicates are some of the most commonly used defoamers. They are typically oil-based, water-based, or silicone-based and are insoluble in a foaming medium. They have low viscosity, a low affinity for air-liquid surfaces, and are easily spreadable.
Global Defoamers Market Dynamics
Drivers
- Expansion and adaptability of the chemical industry
Significant growth in the chemical industry worldwide is one of the key factors driving the market's positive outlook. Defoamers are widely used in the production of paints, inks, and coatings to prevent defects such as fisheyes, popping, cratering, and depressions. Furthermore, the widespread use of defoamers in water treatment facilities is propelling the market growth. They are used to improve the processes of sludge dewatering, thickening, clarification, filtering, and floatation.
- Product advancements and innovations
Other growth-inducing factors include product innovations such as developing water- and bio-based defoamers. Compared to the traditionally used petroleum-based variants, they are made from sustainable raw materials and contain low volatile organic compounds (VOC) levels. Other factors, such as extensive research and development (R&D) activities and implementing favorable government policies, are expected to drive the market forward.
Opportunities
- Bio-based and sustainable products
Increased awareness, using bio-based and sustainable raw materials instead of petro-based alternatives, and a growing trend in the agrochemical industry all positively impact the defoamers market. Furthermore, the development of high-performance silicone compounds to improve product performance and the emergence of effective and low-impact chemicals will provide profitable opportunities to market participants during the forecast period.
Restraints
- Side effects associated with the products
High anti-foaming agent loading levels in the industrial process and concerns about the product's side effects are expected to hamper market growth. Stringent regulations imposed by governing bodies, particularly in developed countries, are expected to challenge the defoamers market during the forecast period.
