Market Definition
Matting agents are additives that are mixed with coatings and paints to give the substrate a matte finish. Silica-based matting agents are widely used in coating and printing ink formulations to reduce the gloss of coated films. They are highly demanding for industrial coatings and rising demand from the automotive, construction, textile, and packaging industries.
Silica Based Matting Agents Market Dynamics
This section deals with understanding the market drivers, opportunities, restraints and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail as below:
Drivers
- High Demand Across Automotive Sector
Silica-based matting agents are used in automotive coatings and paint to improve vehicle aesthetics. Matting agents based on silica improve grind performance and produce a smooth surface finish with exceptional optical and haptic properties. The growing preference for matte-finished surfaces has been steadily increasing in recent years, owing to the aesthetic appeal associated with matte-finished surfaces. As a result, the increased utilization across the automotive sector will further boost the market demand.
- Stringent Environment Regulations
Governments worldwide are focusing on green practices to reduce chemical impacts on marine life, human health, and the environment. Implementing stringent environmental regulations in both developed and developing regions further boosts green solution coatings. On the other hand, the regulations help to increase the value-added associated with higher levels of performance. In contrast, stringent environmental regulations in Western Europe and North America are driving demand for water-based technology, which in turn drives market growth during the forecast period.
Furthermore, the matting also provides scratch resistance to the surface, making it suitable for use in a variety of applications, which will further propel the growth rate of silica based matting agents market. Additionally, the expansion of the various end-use industries and large investments in the development of coating products are projected to bolster the market's growth.
Opportunities
- Demand of Eco-Friendly Matting Agents
The consumer base is becoming more aware of environmental conservation and the harmful effects of global warming on the planet, which is encouraging them to use eco-friendly products. Among all silica-based matting agents, the water-based silica-based matting agent is the most environmentally friendly and emits the fewest VOCs. As a result, the increasing adoption of water-based silica-based matting agents is likely to contribute to the global market's promising growth. Many industry players in various sectors prefer eco-friendly products and materials, which will extend profitable opportunities to the market players in the forecast period of 2022 to 2029.
- Increased Awareness Associated with its Advantages
These agents assist in improving the coating's appearance by developing a smoother surface that is less reflective and has more opacity. Hence, the expanding awareness about the advantages of using low-glare items will further provide growth opportunities for the silica based matting agents market.
Restraints/Challenges
- Availability of Alternatives
The matting agents are made from various materials such as waxes and thermoplastics. Manufacturers have a variety of materials to choose from when developing matting agents. The widespread availability of thermoplastic resins and waxes in both developed and developing countries will impede the growth of silica-based matting agents.
- Limitation of Matting Agents
Also, the inorganic particulate matting agents used with PVC plastics tend to form protuberances on the substrate's surface. This reduces the surface's impact resistance properties, limiting its applications and impeding the expected growth of the matting agents market. This factor will challenge the silica based matting agents market growth rate.
Furthermore, the price of silica-based matte finish coatings is higher than that of conventional coatings, limiting the silica-based matting agents market's expected growth.

COVID-19 Impact on Silica Based Matting Agents Market
The recent outbreak of coronavirus had a negative impact on the silica based matting agents market. As most countries have issued "stay at home guidance," i.e., lockdown, the pandemic is affecting operations in various industries such as automotive, oil and gas, construction, aerospace, and others, and it is expected that the outbreak of COVID-19 will be seen throughout the year of 2020, and for a few months in 2021. The silica-based matting agents are widely used in these industries, and thus, their declining operations directly impact the market growth of matting agents. During the covid-19 crises, demand for silica-based matting agents is low. The postponement of manufacturing and construction activities in both developed and developing countries hampered market growth for silica-based matting agents in covid-19. However, the Silica Based Matting Agents industry encountered supply chain, workforce, and raw material supply issues, among other issues. According to the World Bank, the global construction value was US$22.04 trillion in 2020, down from US$23.29 trillion in 2019, indicating a US$1.25 trillion decline in 2020.
On the brighter side, the market is estimated to revive as individual regulatory bodies begin to relax these enforced lockdowns. Moreover, the manufacturers are coming up with key strategies such as technology launches, acquisitions, and research and development to aid the market expansion post pandemic.
Recent Development
