Market Overview:
The global antifoaming agent market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for antifoaming agents in various applications such as pulping & papermaking, oil & gas, paints & coatings, food & beverages, detergents, pharmaceuticals and textiles. In addition, the growing demand for silicone-based antifoaming agents is also contributing to the growth of the global antifoaming agent market. However, volatility in raw material prices may restrain the growth of this market during the forecast period.
Product Definition:
An antifoaming agent is a substance that is used to reduce or prevent the formation of foam. Foam can be a nuisance in many industrial applications, and antifoaming agents are often used to keep production processes running smoothly. Antifoaming agents can also be added to consumer products like shampoo and toothpaste in order to improve their texture and consistency.
Oil Based Antifoaming Agent:
Oil-based antifoaming agents are used to reduce the surface tension of aqueous solutions and prevent them from becoming foam. They are extensively used in paints, coatings, and printing ink applications. OBA’s can be further divided into two categories namely synthetic and natural oil based antifoaming agents.
Silicone Based Antifoaming Agent:
Silicone based anti-foaming agent is a type of additive used in the formulation of various products such as emulsions, paints, coatings and printing inks. It helps to reduce surface tension by decreasing the foam formation on application. The product also provides stability and thermal resistance to foams during processing & storage.
Application Insights:
Pulping and papermaking was the largest application segment in 2017, accounting for over 40% of the global market. The product is used as a foaming and wetting agent in this application to provide optimum efficiency during production processes. It also acts as an antioxidant, which improves printability and brightness of the paper produced by reducing bleaching agents requirements. Antifoaming agents are also used extensively in water-based printing ink applications to prevent clogging or blockage caused due to agglomeration of fibers resulting from sedimentation on account of its non-Newtonian fluid nature.
The food & beverage sector is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to rising demand for frozen foods, processed meat products, dairy products including cheese and yogurt among others across various regions globally.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific was the largest regional market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The region has been witnessing increasing demand for processed foods, which in turn has led to an increase in product consumption. This trend is projected to continue over the next few years, thereby driving product demand across various end-use industries including packaging and textile manufacturing.
The growth of e-commerce businesses across emerging economies such as India and China has resulted in increased consumer preference for online shopping as compared to offline shopping. This trend is likely to promote not only personal but also packaged food products, thereby propelling antifoaming agent consumption across these regions during manufacturing processes of numerous end-use industries such as paints & coatings, pharmaceuticals, textiles etcetera.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for Antifoaming Agent in food and beverage industry as a result of rising population and changing lifestyle.
- Growing demand for Antifoaming Agent in personal care products due to increasing awareness about hygiene among consumers.
- Rising demand from the pharmaceuticals sector owing to the increase in number of chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and respiratory disorders.
- Increasing use of Antifoaming Agent in various industrial applications such as paints & coatings, oilfield chemicals, etc., due to its properties such as low toxicity and non-flammability.
