Defoaming Coating Additive Market valued USD 2.54 Billion 2025-2030, Driven by Demand from Construction and Automotive Sectors, Reports Mordor Intelligence
Understanding the Defoaming Coating Additive Market
According to Mordor intelligence recent analysis, The defoaming coating additive market is projected to grow from USD 2.03 billion in 2025 to USD 2.54 billion by 2030, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.58% during the forecast period. This growth is supported by the increasing use of water-based coatings and the rising demand for environmentally friendly and efficient coating solutions.The defoaming coating additive market is gaining traction as industries seek better surface finishes and improved production efficiency. These additives are essential in reducing foam during the application of coatings, which can otherwise lead to defects like craters, pinholes, and uneven surfaces.
Key Trends in the Defoaming Coating Additive Industry
Shift Toward Water-Based Coating Systems
One of the most notable trends in the defoaming coating additive market is the growing preference for water-based systems. These coatings are less harmful to the environment and safer for workers, making them a popular choice across industries. However, water-based coatings tend to generate more foam, increasing the need for effective defoaming agents. This shift is expected to drive consistent demand for additives that can maintain coating performance without compromising environmental standards.
Rising Demand from the Construction Sector
The construction industry remains a major consumer of coating additives. As urbanization continues and infrastructure projects expand globally, the need for high-performance coatings in buildings, bridges, and other structures grows. Defoaming additives help ensure smooth application and durability, especially in exterior paints and protective coatings exposed to harsh conditions.
Automotive Sector’s Focus on Surface Quality
Automotive manufacturers rely heavily on coatings for both aesthetic and protective purposes. Foam-related defects can compromise the appearance and longevity of vehicle finishes. With increasing production volumes and tighter quality standards, the automotive sector is expected to remain a key driver of the defoaming coating additive market.
Environmental Regulations and Compliance
Governments and regulatory bodies are enforcing stricter guidelines on volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and hazardous substances in coatings. This has led to a surge in demand for additives that support low-VOC and eco-friendly formulations. Defoaming agents that align with these requirements are likely to see increased adoption.
