Foam is the dispersion of gas into liquid. The formation of foam during the production and processing of coatings, printing inks, and plastic materials is undesirable as it can cause pinholes, cratering, creation of scum, and defects in coatings, thereby lowering efficacy and quality. Defoaming coating additives, also called defoamers, are air-release agents that prevent the formation of and destroy foam bubbles. The addition of defoamers to paints improves adhesion, moisture resistance, and saltwater resistance.
COVID-19 Impact analysis
- COVID-19 can influence the worldwide economy in 3 major ways directly influencing production and call, creating supply chain and market disruption, and through its financial impact on businesses and financial markets.

Top Impacting Factors
Rise in demand from building & construction is expected to increase the market growth. Some of the other factors such as increase in commercial spaces, improvement in the standard of living, high production & sales of automobile, rise government initiatives & regulations for environmental protection, and surge in demand for architectural coatings further accelerate the demand for defoaming coating additives market.
Market Trends
- The international defoaming coating additives market is mainly driven by the widespread use of such additives in major applications such as automotive, construction, industrial, wood and furniture, textiles, and consumer appliances.
- The high production and sales of automobiles across the globe are propelling market growth. Defoamers enhance the appearance of paints and offer wear resistance, reinforcement, and weight reduction of the automotive body.
- Rapid industrialization and urbanization in the emerging economies of Asia-Pacific have resulted in a rise of construction and infrastructure development, which is anticipated to propel the market growth. In addition, water-based defoaming agents help reduce the emissions of volatile organic components (VOC) and are, hence, environment-friendly.
- Numerous government initiatives and regulations by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the European Union’s REACH regulations for the reduction of VOC emissions are expected to propel the demand for water-based defoamers. In addition, the demand for silicone-based defoamers in wastewater treatment due to the scarcity of drinking water across the globe is likely to positively impact market growth during the review period.
- In addition, a possible increase in the prices of the raw materials used in anti-foam coating additives could hurt the growth of your market, at least in the short term. Further, in some instances, the anti-foam coating additives have been found to be incompatible with the medium as being anti-foam. These factors might prove to be a constraint on the growth of the global anti-foam coating additives market to an extent
- There has been a tremendous growth in the anti-foam coating additive market around the world lately. This was facilitated by rapid industrialization. Recent trends indicate the introduction and implementation of strict regulations and sustainability mandates for environmental safety, which have had a great influence on the product characteristics and composition of anti-foam coating additives. In addition, there has also been an increase in demand for clean formulations for coatings and decorative requirements which has contributed toward the growth of the global anti-foam coating additives market. In addition, along with the specific demand for low volatile organic compound (VOC) content in types of architectural coatings, there have also been market developments in the field of architectural coatings, which has impacted the growth of the additives market of anti-foam coating. The call for water based defoamer coating additives is escalating because of their cost effectiveness. These coatings reveal large amounts of water in the final product even as the final composition changes depending on the end use.
