According to latest research, The Wetting Additives market is projected to expand with a CAGR of 4.0% and 6.0% during the assessment period 2021-2031. The growth of the market can be attributed due to the increase use in the paints and coatings industry.
The surfactant properties of these wetting additives helps to increase the spreading ability of liquids by lowering the surface tension of the liquid which is directly proportional to the intermolecular bond within the liquid and it also helps to reinforce the bond between solid, Liquid or gas phase. The growing demand for improved properties and quality is expected to provide growth opportunities for the wetting additives market.
Major factors driving the market are the growing demand from the paints and coatings industry. This industry is increasing significantly due to the rise in advancements in architectural projects & facilities, commercial/industrial businesses, and buildings; and increase in renovation activities across the world.
This, in turn, is driving the products market, as these additives are used as formulations to provide adequate wetting properties, with enhancement of compatibility of different components and improvement in surface of coatings.
These additives are added to waterborne coatings to increase the wetting of the substrate; improve compatibility with pigments and to reduce the rub-out effects. High economic growth and increase in population are expected to drive the industrial sector, thereby propelling the demand for product in architectural and in paints and coatings applications.
In the Textile and clothing sector, these additives are used as detergents in various textile cleaning processes such as to do de-sizing, mercerizing, bleaching, dyeing and finishing in the textile industry. These additives enhance and promote fast wettability of clothes, as they passes through the various baths during the process.
Increasing demand from the paints and coatings industry is one of the major factors driving the world’s wetting additives market. The paints and coatings industry is anticipated to account for the biggest share of the overall market during the forecast period.
These additives are added in every paints and coating manufactured as they helps them to provide adequate wetting properties which are required. These wetting agents are developed to improve premium equilibrium and lower dynamic surface tension of the liquid.
Wetting additives are also used in many application of the automobile industry. These additives that function in non-aqueous media including dispersing agents which are added to lubricating oils used in automobile engines to prevent the accumulation of varnish like deposits on the cylinder walls and are also added to gasoline to prevent the buildup of gummy residues in the carburetor.
APAC is estimated to be the largest market for wetting additives in forecasted period. The market for this region is segmented into China, India, Japan, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Rest of APAC. According to the World Bank, APAC is the fastest-growing region in terms of both population and economy. The region has witnessed significant growth in the past decade, accounting for over one-third of the world’s GDP.
High economic growth, coupled with the increasing population, is expected to drive the region’s industrial sector. The spending power of consumers is increasing in this region and also there is increase in construction activities in various developing countries of the region such as India, Indonesia, Malaysia and others. These factors are expected to increase the demand for the product in the forecasted period.
North America is also expected to witness significant market growth of this compound on account of rising production of automotive industries over the forecast period. However, Demand in this region is supposed to grow at a moderate pace due to the slowdown in production in end use industries. The capacity additions in the region of US and Canada are predicted to increase the market call over the outlook period.
Some of the leading manufacturers and suppliers include
Several key market participants are focusing on new & innovative product development to cater the growing demand from the end use sector. Key players are investing an enormous amount in research and development to introduce new products and they are also investing to manufacture products in a sustainable way, to decrease the carbon emission.
Key players are also focusing on acquisitions of small and medium size players and collaborations with other market participants either for the R&D or to manufacture the product at a large scale.
