The global demand for Anti Foaming Agent Market is presumed to reach the market size of nearly USD 9.08 MN by 2028 from USD 6.41 MN in 2021 with a CAGR of 5.1% under the study period 2022 - 2028.
Anti-foaming agents, also known as defoamers, are additives used to limit or control foam production and eliminate foam buildup in a system. These agents work by sticking to the surface of foam bubbles, weakening and destabilizing the surface, and eventually causing the bubble to collapse. Apart from powder-based, EO/PO based, alkyl polyacrylates, non-silicone defoamers, ester-based, and others, some of the most common types of anti-foaming agents are water, oil, and silicone-based defoamers. Pulp and paper, oil & gas, paints & coatings, water treatment, food & drinks, detergents, pharmaceuticals, textiles, and other industries employ anti-foaming agents, dyes & pigments, polymer & emulsions, pesticide formulations, starch & corrugation, agriculture, and more.
Market Dynamics
The global anti-foaming agent market is primarily driven by rapidly growing application industries and rising demand from emerging markets. Furthermore, environmental concerns and regulatory restrictions surrounding the release of effluents by various sectors and the management of VOC emissions are driving anti-foaming agents' market expansion. However, the anti-foaming agents market's expansion is predicted to be hampered by a lack of awareness about the product and reverse projected trends. Aside from that, the anti-foaming agents' industry is expected to benefit from advancements in the composition and performance of defoamers.
