According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, " Anti-foaming Agent Market by Type and Application: Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2020-2030," the global anti-foaming agent market size was valued at $5.1 billion in 2020, and global anti-foaming agent market forecast projected to reach $7.5 billion by 2030, with global anti-foaming agent market forecast expected at a CAGR of 4.1% from 2021 to 2030.
An anti-foaming agent is a chemical additive that reduces and hinders the formation of foam in industrial process liquids. The terms anti-foam agent and defoamer are often used interchangeably. In addition, defoamers eliminate existing foam and anti-foamer prevents the formation of further foam. Commonly used agents are insoluble oils, polydimethylsiloxanes & other silicones, certain alcohols, stearates, and glycols. The additive is used to prevent formation of foam or is added to break foam that is already formed. In industrial processes, foams pose serious problems. They cause defects on surface coatings and prevent the efficient filling of containers. A variety of chemical formulae are available to prevent formation of foams.
The key factors responsible for driving anti-foaming agent market are increased demand of anti-foaming agent in paint, inks, coatings, & adhesives (PICA), chemical manufacturing, cleaning compounds & processes, water treatment, and food processing & agribusiness.
In addition, sometimes anti-foaming agent can detract from the final properties of an aqueous adhesive or coating. Decreased bond values are obvious disadvantages, which may act as the major restraining factor for the market. As silicone is oil-soluble, it reduces its defoaming effect in oil systems. Silicone defoamer is not ideal for long-term high temperature resistance and strong alkali resistance. The opportunity lies in developing the infrastructure of cleaning compounds & processes.
