The global silicone defoamers market is expected to grow from USD 13.30 billion in 2019 to USD 19.49 billion by 2027, at a CAGR of 4.84% during the forecast period from 2020-2027.
A silicone defoamer or an anti-foaming agent is a chemical additive that impedes and reduces the formation of foam in various industrial process liquids. Commonly used agents are polydimethylsiloxanes, insoluble oils, stearates, certain alcohols, and glycols. The additive is used to break a foam already formed or prevent formation of foam. In addition to this, these defoamers are chemically inert in nature and act as antifoaming agents in a much effective manner than organic antifoam agents.
Increasing demand from the end user industries is one of the primary factors for the growth of silicone defoamers market. They are used as the most important defoamer in all the major end user industries such as paints & coatings, pulp & paper, oil & gas and others. Regulatory bodies such as the European Commission and U.S. FDA have enforced several laws to regulate the composition of defoamers. The organizations have specified usage limits of various components, as some variants contain harsh chemicals used in foods and have the potential to cause health hazards. Thus, stringent government regulations is anticipated to hinder the market growth over the forecast period.
The silicone defoamers market has been segmented on the basis of type, application, and region. Type segment includes water-based, oil based defoamers, and silicone based defoamers. Silicone based defoamers segment held largest market share of 38.49% and valued at USD 5.5 billion in 2019. This is attributed to the increasing demand for silicone defoamers from number of end use industries including food and beverages, textiles, and pharmaceuticals. Application segment includes pulp & paper, paints, inks & coatings, oil & gas, industrial cleaning & detergents, pharmaceutical, textile processing, agrochemical, food & beverages, water treatment, aerospace, packaging construction, textile, automotive & transport, petroleum industry, fermentation industry, cosmetic & personal care, elastomers & plastics, chemical industry and others. Pulp & Paper segment accounted for the major market share of 20.97% in 2019, as it extensively used in a pulp mill and a paper mill to reduce foam problems. The market has been divided into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South America, and Middle East and Africa. Asia Pacific held the largest market share of 41.37% in 2019, owing to growth in the end-user industries such as personal care, medicinal & pharmaceuticals and others.
