Rheology Modifiers Market Outlook - 2030

The global rheology modifiers market size was valued at $7.6 billion in 2020, and is projected to reach $11.3 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 4.0% from 2021 to 2030. 

Rheology modifiers are substances that change the way matter flows. Rheology modifiers are used to fine-tune a fluid's physical and chemical properties. Paints, inks, and coatings contain rheology modifiers, which are used to manage the desired physical and chemical qualities. These are made to give formulators complete control over the texture, viscosity, and suspension of personal care and home care products. Thickening and suspension polymers can provide long-term product stability for producers and formulators. The key trend component in rheology agents is the rise in creation of increasingly hydrophobically modified polymers.

Rheology Modifiers Market

The rise of the paints and coatings sector, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region, is a major driver for the rheology modifiers market. The cosmetics and personal care category is also expanding rapidly, which should benefit the market. Evonik Industries AG's new research centre in Asia, for example, is planned to deliver solutions for new market sectors while also improving the performance of old areas. The improved construction and industrial activities in developing nations is expected to boost the rheology modifiers market.

On the other side, one of the primary restraints is the growing need for environmental control. Manufacturers are being forced to reformulate their products as a result of rigorous environmental rules, which add to the high expense of research and development. The market for rheology modifiers is being restrained by declining ink use due to digitalization and an increase in paperless operations. Nonetheless, prominent players in the rheology modifiers market are projected to benefit from the rapidly developing end-user industry in Asia-Pacific in the coming years.

Analyst Review

The rheology modifiers market is moving toward growth stabilization phase in its industry life cycle. Rheology modifiers play an important role in many end-user industries such as paints & coatings, adhesives & sealants, pharmaceuticals, personal care & cosmetics, construction, agriculture, ceramics, oil & gas, rubber & plastics, textiles, pulp & paper, electronics, food & beverage and textiles. Commonly known as viscosity or thickening agents, these additives do more than simply change the viscosity or thickness of the compound in a system. The paint & coatings industry is driving the demand for rheology modifiers significantly. This is mainly due to increase in use of paints & coatings in residential and commercial construction, as well as the boom in the industrial use of paints & coatings in developing countries such as China, India, Brazil, Indonesia and others. Increase in industrialization and growth of the construction industry in the Asia-Pacific region are likely to drive the demand for rheology modifiers in the coming years.
