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. Restraining factor to this market

The anti-foaming agent market is segmented on the basis of type and application. By type, it is classified as water-based, oil-based, silicone-based, and others. By application, it is categorized as pulp & paper, oil & gas, paints & coatings, water treatment, food & beverages and others (detergents, pharmaceuticals, textiles). By region, the market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.

The key players profiled in this report include Clariant AG, Dow Corning Corporation, BASF SE, Ashland Inc., Ecolab Inc., Evonik Industries AG, Shin-Etsu Chemical Company Ltd., Kemira Oyj, Elementis PLC, and Wacker Chemie AG.

The report focuses on the global anti-foaming agent market and the major products & applications where anti-foaming agents are deployed. It further highlights numerous factors that influence the market growth, such as forecast, trends, drivers, restraints, opportunities, and roles of different key players that shape the market. The report focuses on the overall demand for anti-foaming agents in various countries, presenting data in terms of both value and volume. The revenue is calculated by proliferating the volume by region-specific prices, considering the region-wise differentiated prices.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Global Anti-foaming Agent Market

  • Anti-foaming is highly used in the food processing and agribusiness for foam problems due to the levels of organic material processed, pressure, mixing, chemical reactions, and other process-related factors. Typical applications include grain separation &processing, fermentation, fruit & vegetable washing and processing, meat &poultry processing, dairy products, beverages, brine systems, and more. However, the COVID impact on such application has a sluggish impact since these are under basic amenities as per government regulations.
  • In addition, there is no reason for the health crisis to develop into a global food crisis. Supplies of staple crops are large, production prospects are favorable, and cereal stocks are expected to reach their third highest level on record.Moreover, most countries have designated the agriculture and agri-food sector as essential and exempt from business closure &restrictions on movement. For many countries, the direct impacts of the pandemic on primary agriculture should be limited, as the disease does not affect the natural resources upon which production is based. However, the virus poses a serious threat to food security and livelihoods in the poorest countries, where agricultural production systems are more labor-intensive and there is less capacity to withstand a severe macroeconomic shock.
  • Sale of anti-foaming agent is directly proportional to the demand of paint, inks, coatings, & adhesives (PICA). The demand for paint & coatings depends on construction activity, which got highly impacted by the pandemic. However, there is negative impact on the anti-foaming agent market.
  • Defoaming compositions are commonly used in the oil and gas industry to prevent the formation of foam, hinder the entrainment of a gas in a liquid, or to break previously formed foam. Defoaming is necessary in several industrial branches and is often a key factor for efficient operation. Oil & gas production gotlimited impact by lockdown imposed due to the COVID-19 outbreak and recorded a huge decline in crude prices in 2020 due to less storage and resumed overflow production, However, the continued upstream activities has not impacted the usage of anti-foaming agent however, there is sluggish impact on sales of anti-foaming agent.
  • COVID-19 impacted almost all industries by hindering various industrial operations and disrupting the supply chain. Maximum companies halted their operation due to fewer workforces. However, there is a sluggish decline in the global anti foaming agent market due to impact of COVID-19.
  • Furthermore, import and export activities were significantly impacted, which, in turn, adversely affected the industries using anti-foaming agent and thereby affecting the global anti-foaming agent market.
  • According to the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), 30.0%–70.0% of pre-COVID-19 workforce of various industries, such as electrical and other third-party vendors migrated to their hometowns, due to uncertainties and loss of income during the lockdown. This unavailability or less availability of workforce is expected to directly affect the production and manufacturing activities, thereby, resulting in decline in petrochemical industry, which in turn declined the growth of the anti-foaming agent market during the forecast period.

Key findings of the study

  • On the basis of type, the silicone-basedsegment emerged as the global leader in 2020 and is anticipated to be the largest market during the forecast period.
  • As per theapplication, oil & gassegment emerged as the global leader in 2020 and is anticipated to be the largest market during the forecast period.
  • Region wise, Asia-Pacific registered the highest market share and is projected to maintain the same during the forecast period.
