全球消泡劑市場 - 2024-2031Global Defoamers Market - 2024-2031 |
※ 本網頁內容可能與最新版本有所差異。詳細情況請與我們聯繫。
概述
2023年全球消泡劑市場規模達36億美元,預計2031年將達54億美元,2024-2031年預測期間複合年成長率為5.2%。
持續研究開發新型消泡劑將是推動全球市場成長的關鍵。例如,贏創工業公司目前正在開發一種新型工業消泡劑,該公司希望在未來幾年內將其商業化。從長遠來看,新產品的推出可能會擴大消泡劑的應用範圍。
原物料價格的波動可能成為預測期內阻礙全球市場成長的主要因素。中國與西方國家之間地緣政治緊張局勢加劇導致的供應鏈中斷和貿易限制的增加可能對特種化學品生產商不利。對於許多最終用戶來說,價格急劇上漲是非常不受歡迎的。
動力學
造紙新進展
造紙商正在修改其製造程序,以增強紙張的機械性能,使其更加耐用和防水。一些公司甚至正在嘗試使用合成材料來增強紙張。例如,2023 年 3 月,美國紙張製造商 Relyco 推出了 Revlar Synthetic,這是一種用聚酯增強的新型紙張,具有防水性和高抗撕裂性。
這種進步也出現在用於列印和標籤應用的特殊紙張中。 2023 年 3 月,特種塗料主要生產商 Polyart 宣布推出新型 Fiberskin Tag,這是一種 100% 由紙製成的標籤材料,可在寒冷和冷藏環境中使用。隨著紙張開發的新進展,未來幾年造紙業對消泡劑的需求將會上升。
全球飲用水品質的持續改善
世界衛生組織 (WHO) 的最新資料發現,全球有近 22 億人缺乏飲用水,其中絕大多數集中在亞太和非洲的發展中地區。然而,在多邊組織和政府措施的支持下,許多國家在改善公眾獲得飲用水方面取得了巨大進展。
最近的例子是,世界銀行在2023年8月資助興建了一座飲用水處理廠,為非洲東南部莫三比克首都馬普托近50萬人提供飲用水。隨著各國改善水處理基礎設施,未來幾年發展中國家對消泡劑的需求可能會激增。
人們對造紙工業污染的擔憂日益加劇
儘管各行業逐漸採用紙張作為塑膠的環保替代品,但現代紙張生產過程本身卻充滿了毒性和污染。造紙廠是空氣污染的主要來源,釋放出硫化氫、甲烷、氮氧化物和二氧化硫等有毒化合物。大量科學研究也最終證明造紙廠會用致癌污染物污染水體。
造紙廠的水污染問題已經非常嚴重,政府已開始對該行業制定嚴格的污染防治措施,不遵守規定的往往會導致關閉。許多無利可圖的造紙廠無力投資新的污染控制設備,也紛紛倒閉。嚴格的污染控制法規的實施將在短期內減少消泡劑的需求。
Overview
Global Defoamers Market reached US$ 3.6 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 5.4 billion by 2031, growing with a CAGR of 5.2% during the forecast period 2024-2031.
Ongoing research to develop new types of defoamers will be key to propeling global market growth. For instance, Evonik Industries AG is currently developing a new type of industrial defoamer that the company hopes to commercialize in the next couple of years. New product launches will likely expand the scope of applications for defoamers over the long term.
Volatility in raw material prices is likely to become a major factor in hindering global market growth during the forecast period. Supply chain disruptions and increasing trade restrictions as a result of rising geopolitical tensions between China and western countries are likely to be detrimental for specialty chemical producers. A steep price rise would be highly undesirable for many of the end-users.
Dynamics
New Advances in Papermaking
Papermakers are modifying their manufacturing processes to make strengthen the mechanical properties of paper, making it more durable and water resistance. Some companies are even experimenting with synthetic materials to reinforce paper. For instance, in March 2023, Relyco, a U.S.-based paper manufacturer, launched Revlar Synthetic, a new paper reinforced with polyester which makes it waterproof and highly tear resistant.
Such advances are also occuring in specialty paper used for printing and tagging label applications. In March 2023, Polyart, a major producer of specialty coatings announced the launch of its new Fiberskin Tag, a tagging material 100% made from paper which can be used in cold and refrigerated environments. With newer advances in paper development, the demand for defoamers from the papermaking industry will rise over the next few years.
Ongoing Improvements in Global Drinking Water Quality
The most recent data from the world health organization (WHO) found that nearly 2.2 billion people globally lack access to drinking water, with the vast majority of this population being concentrated in developing parts of Asia-Pacific and Africa. However, with support from multilateral organizations and government initiatives, many countries have made drastic improvements in improving public access to drinking water.
A recent example is the World Bank financed construction of a drinking water treatment plant in August 2023, which provided potable water to nearly half a million people in Maputo, the capital of Mozambique, in southeast Africa. With countries improving their water treatment infrastructure, the demand for defoamers from developing countries is likely to soar in the upcoming years.
Rising Concerns About Paper Industry Pollution
Even as various industries are gradually adopting paper as an eco-friendly substitute to plastics, the modern paper production process itself is riddled with toxicity and pollution. Paper mills are major sources of air pollution, releasing noxious compounds like hydrogen sulfide, methane, nitrogen oxide and sulphur dioxide. A host of scientific studies have also conclusively proven that paper mills contaminate water bodies with carcinogenic pollutants.
The problem of water pollution by paper mills has become serious enough that governments have started instituted strict anti-pollution measures for the industry, with non-compliance often leading to closure. Many unprofitable paper mills, which could not afford investment in new pollution control devices, also closed down. The implementation of strict pollution control regulations will reduce demand for defoamers in the short term.
The global defoamers market is segmented based on type, application and region.
The Water Treatment Industry Will Have the Fastest Growth During the Forecast Period
Water treatment will retain the largest share in the global market, especially as governments in developing and underdeveloped countries strive to improve water quality standards. Fast-growing economies like India and China are expanding their water treatment capacity to cater to a growing urban population. Similarly, in developed countries, the dilapidated water treatment infrastructure is getting upgraded for improved performance.
Applications in the food and beverage industry are likely to garner the second-highest market share during the forecast period. Many F&B companies are rapidly expanding their product portfolios in anticipation of fast-paced growth in emerging countries. F&B brands are also launching more health-based products, taking cognizance of growing health-conciousness among global consumers.
Asia-Pacific Will the Fastest Growth Rate During the Forecast Period
In Asia-Pacific, demand for defoamers from the water treatment industry will increase as a result of government-led developmental initiatives. One of the largest of these initiatives is the Jal Jeevan Mission, an effort by the Indian government to provide piped drinking water connections to 194 million households by the end of 2025. China and India, with their large populations, will be key markets for water treatment and papermaking industry demand.
Multinational F&B brands have also expanded their presence in the Asia-Pacific market over the past decade, taking advantage of changing consumer habits and rapid growth of urbanization. However, with government regulatory bodies undertaking greater scrutiny of food additives and ingredients, the demand for defoamers in the F&B sector is likely to have muted growth, at least in the short and medium term.
The pandemic represented a period of heightened uncertainty for the global defoamers market. Although demand from major industries like water treatment and food and beverage remained relatively stable, it decreased significantly in other sectors. Papermaking did witness a notable increase in demand, especially as consumers preferred disposable paper cutlery due to heightened sanitary concerns during the pandemic period.
As business restrictions were gradually lifted, global demand slowly returned to normalcy. However, the overall increase in market volatility due to the Russia-Ukraine war has created growth headwinds, especially in Europe and some key emerging markets. In the long-term, the pandemic will have a negligible impact on the growth of the global defoamers market.
The main impact of the war on was felt in the Russian market, as western chemical manufacturers exited the country as a result of sanctions and trade embargoes. It led to an immediate shortage of defoamers in the Russian market, as domestic chemical companies struggled to increase production. Russia had to increase imports from China to meet domestic demand.
To combat shortages, the Russian government also gave permission to distributors to import defoamers from neighboring countries under a parallel import scheme. Although such tactics might stave off crisis in the short term, the effect of sanctions will heavily weigh on the development of the Russian defoamers market over the long term.
The major global players in the market include BASF SE, Air Products and Chemicals, Inc., Dow, Ashland, Kemira Oyj, Evonik Industries AG, Wacker Chemie AG, Elementis PLC, Clariant and Eastman Chemical Company.
The global defoamers market report would provide approximately 53 tables, 47 figures and 188 Pages.
