The global silicone defoamers market exhibits a
consolidated vendor landscape. With a few companies enjoying
stronghold the market is expected to witness a fair prevalence of
competition among the leading market players. For instance, the
silicone defoamer market in North America is dominated by Momentive
Performance Materials and Dow Corning Corporation, finds Transparency
Market Research (TMR). “These companies together held over half of
the market share in North America,” said a lead TMR analyst.
Meanwhile, in the European market companies such as Clariant
International Ltd., Wacker Chemie AG, Elkem Silicones, BASF SE, and
Evonik Industries have found a strong footing. In addition, companies
such as Supreme Silicones, Shin-Etsu Chemical Co, Ltd., and Resils
Chemicals Pvt. Ltd. exhibit a strong presence in Asia Pacific.
According to TMR, the global silicone defoamers
market will expand at a steady 4.3% CAGR between 2017 and 2025. At
this pace, the global silicone defoamer market is likely to reach
US$16,844.6 mn by 2025, from US$11,675 mn, which was its value in
2016. Based on application, paints and coatings segment emerged
dominant and it held nearly 24.8% of the global silicone defoamers
market in 2016. Regionally, Asia Pacific emerged as the largest
market in 2016.

Rising Demand from Diverse Sectors Helping
Silicone Defoamer Market Gain Impetus
Manufacturers find silicone defoamers quite useful
to collapse foams formed during the process of manufacturing. By
doing so, the cycle time is reduced and in the other hand effective
volumes in the production process are increased. It is therefore
widely used in water treatment chemicals across various industries
such as paper and pulp, paints and coatings, and wooden board. In
addition, the market is witnessing considerably high demand from the
food and beverages industry, which is in persistent need of ways to
reduce time incurred on manufacturing and processing. Also the market
is likely to benefit from rising preference of consumer toward
water-borne coatings.
Among the chief market drivers, the increasing
focus on industrial and municipal wastewater treatment will give the
global silicone defoamers market major impetus. With government
initiatives directed towards encouraging healthy lifestyle, the
demand for processed water is stoked. This, coupled with the rising
environmental awareness, has bolstered wastewater treatment
activities in turn fuelling the demand for silicone defoamers.
Industrial and municipal wastewater treatment are aimed at improving
safety and sanitation, invariably creating a steady market for
silicone defoamers. Against this backdrop, increase expenditure by
governments on wastewater and water infrastructure will catapult the
market in the coming years.
Given the scenario, the piling wastewater
treatment concerns in emerging nations of Asia Pacific has bode well
for the market. Meanwhile, the silicone defoamers market has
witnessed considerable growth in developed nations such as Canada,
the US, Germany, and the UK as well.

Stringent Regulations May Restrain Market’s
Trajectory in Future
On the downside, regulatory organizations such as
European Commission, USDA, US FDA, and US EPA have quantified limits
of using various components in formulation of defoamers. As
manufacturers strive to achieve the stringent regulations, which
often entail increased expenditure on production and quality control,
the overall market may witness a few challenges. These could pose
threat to its future trajectory. Nonetheless, technological
advancements especially in product development techniques are likely
to help the market players up their ante in the coming years.
