Defoamers are those anti-foaming agents that hinder or reduce the foam formation in industrial process liquids. They are insoluble in the foaming medium and have surface active properties. Triton Market Research expects the global defoamers market to witness a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.76% and 4.98% concerning revenue and volume respectively during the forecast period (2019-2027). 

Silicone-based defoamers are the most widely used category of defoamers. Properties such as low surface tension, ability to release entrained air and knock down the surface foam, and positive thermodynamic penetration, spreading and bridging coefficients makes these silicone defoamers an ideal candidate for the global defoamers market. Other popular market products include oil-based defoamers, water-based defoamers and other defoamers.

However, the use of most of these defoamers has to undergo intense scrutiny from strict regulatory issues put forth by governments of various regions. Most of these regulations are put forth owing to environmental concerns. These regulations concerning the use of defoamers in various industries act as a challenge for the growth of the global defoamers market, which has resulted in a significant rise in demand for eco-friendly defoamers.

To reduce the amount of pollution, governments of many countries like Germany, the US, Canada, and France, are encouraging the use of emission-free materials such as water-based defoamers for paints and coatings. Because of the increasing pressure, market suppliers are changing their materials and processes to provide a defoamer that is eco-friendly and complies with regulatory testing standards such as low VOC content.

Asia-Pacific presently accounts for a colossal share of the global defoamers market. The flourishing agrochemicals and paper& pulp industry are the major end-users of the defoamers market in APAC. China is presently leading this region, closely followed by India, Japan, South Korea and Australia. The dominance of the Chinese defoamers market is not surprising as the country is strongly known for business activities like decorative paints, automotive, marine and industrial coatings, which majorly make use of defoaming agents. Triton Market Research has also estimated other regional markets like Europe, North America and the rest of the world in its Global Defoamers Market analysis report.

Market giants such as Basf SE, Airedale Chemical, Tiny Chempro, Dow Corning Corporation, Wacker Chemie AG, Baker Hughes Incorporated, Henkel Kgaa, Eastman Chemical Company, Trans-Chemco Inc., Elementis Plc, Clariant Se, Evonik Industries Ag, Kemira Oyj, Synalloy Chemicals, and KCC Basildon are profiled in Triton’s Global Defoamer Market’s report.

Acquisitions, expansions and product launch are the major strategies undertaken by these companies to maintain their hold over the market. For instance, in 2017, Elementis acquired SRLH Holdings Inc. to expand its network of personal care business.  In another instance, in the same year, Henkel Adhesive Technologies partnered with the HP Open Materials and Applications Platform to develop customized and industry-specific solutions for HP Multi Jet Fusion™ customers. Similarly, such initiatives are expected from other market players over the forecast period of 2019-2027.
