Report Description

The global silicone defoamer market size was USD 14.23 Bn in 2022 and is likely to reach USD 20.23 Bn by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 5.5% during 2023–2031. The market growth is attributed to the increasing preference of consumers toward water-borne coatings.

Silicone defoamer is a type of defoaming agent that is commonly used to eliminate or reduce foam in various industrial processes. Foam is a common problem in many industrial applications such as in the manufacturing of paints, coatings, adhesives, and the processing of food & beverages, and it can lead to defects in the final product or even equipment failures.

Silicone defoamers work by breaking down the foam bubbles and preventing new ones from foaming, which helps to maintain process efficiency and product quality. Silicone defoamers are made from silicone oil, which is a type of synthetic fluid that has lubricated and is non-reactive to other chemicals.

The silicone oil is formulated with other additives to create a defoaming agent that can effectively reduce foam in various applications. There are several advantages of silicone-based defoamers such as lower surface tension, thermal stability, good chemical stability, powerful defoaming, and physiologically inert.

The market report finds that the COVID-19 pandemic affected the silicone defoamer market. The market growth rate decreased, due to a sharp decline in demand from the end-users, owing to the lockdown, travel bans, and business shutdown.

Silicone Defoamer Market Dynamics

Drivers:

Increasing use of water treatment chemicals in various end-use industries such as paints & coatings, and paper & pulp is driving the growth of the silicone defoamer market. The increasing demand for paint & coatings as silicone defoamers prevents the formation of foam in paints. Furthermore, the growing requirement for wastewater treatment boosts the demand for silicone defoamer during the forecast period.

Restraints:

The strict government policies and regulations for the use of silicone defoamer in various industries are hampering the growth of the market. The high production cost and the availability of internal substitutes like non-silicone are anticipated to restrain the growth of the silicone defoamers market. However, poor durability, temperature resistance, and oil-soluble may restrain the market growth at a certain limit.

Opportunities:

The increasing consumer preference towards water-borne coatings instead of oil-based paints & coatings is anticipated to create lucrative opportunities for the market players. Water-borne coatings are ideal primers as they possess good resistance to abrasion and heat.

Silicone Defoamer Market Segment Insights

Based on type, the silicone defoamer market is divided into emulsion silicone defoamer, oiliness silicone defoamer, solid silicone defoamer, and others. The oiliness silicone defoamer segment is expected to expand at a significant growth rate during the projection period. It is used to reduce foaming in various industrial applications. Silicone oil defoamer is modified polyxanthane, which has defoaming and suppression foam ability. It is mostly suitable for inks, oily coatings, and plastic systems.

The emulsion silicone defoamer segment is expected to register a robust growth rate during the forecast period. Emulsion silicone defoamer is specially designed for institutional, industrial, and municipal applications. Emulsion silicone defoamers are stable when the droplets are small and they are coated with a surfactant.

On the basis of application, the market is segregated into pharmaceuticals, food & beverages, water treatment, metalworking fluids, paints & coatings, and others. The paints & coatings segment is projected to register a considerable CAGR in the coming years, due to the growing construction industry and increasing automotive sector all over the world. Silicone is used as an anti-foaming agent in paints & coatings to prevent them from being too thick or sticky.

The water treatment segment is anticipated to hold a key market share during the projected period. The demand for water treatment chemicals is increasing especially in emerging countries such as China and India. Defoaming water treatment products are suitable for foam control in a wide range of systems including aeration basins, boiler water, clarifiers, and others.

In terms of region, the global silicone defoamer market is classified as Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific is expected to dominate the market during the projection period, due to the growing demand from various industries such as pharmaceuticals, paints & coatings, metalworking fluids, and others. This growth is further attributed to the rising construction activities at a rapid pace in emerging countries. However, increasing industrialization in the region is likely to propel the market.

North America is anticipated to expand at a rapid pace in the coming years, due to the rapid expansion of the food & beverages, oil & gas, and ink industries. Moreover, the wide presence of market players is likely to drive the growth of the market in the region.
