概要
消泡剤の世界市場は、2023年に36億米ドルに達し、2024年から2031年の予測期間中にCAGR 5.2%で成長し、2031年には54億米ドルに達すると予測されています。
新しいタイプの消泡剤を開発するための継続的な研究が、世界市場の成長を促進する鍵となると思われます。例えば、Evonik Industries AGは現在、新しいタイプの工業用消泡剤を開発中であり、同社は今後2、3年のうちに商業化を目指しています。新製品の上市により、消泡剤の用途は長期的に拡大すると思われます。
予測期間中、原料価格の変動が世界市場の成長を阻害する主要因になると思われます。中国と西側諸国間の地政学的緊張の高まりによるサプライチェーンの混乱や貿易制限の増加は、特殊化学品メーカーにとって不利になる可能性が高いです。価格の高騰は、多くのエンドユーザーにとって非常に望ましくないです。
ダイナミクス
製紙における新たな進歩
製紙メーカーは、紙の機械的特性を強化し、耐久性や耐水性を高めるために製造工程を改良しています。紙を補強するために合成材料を試験的に使用している企業もあります。例えば、米国の製紙メーカーであるRelyco社は、2023年3月、ポリエステルで補強した新しい紙「Revlar Synthetic」を発売しました。
このような進歩は、印刷やタグラベル用途に使用される特殊紙でも起きています。2023年3月、特殊塗料の大手メーカーであるPolyart社は、100%紙でできた新しいタグ素材、Fiberskin Tagの発売を発表しました。紙の開発における新たな進歩に伴い、製紙業界からの消泡剤の需要は今後数年間で高まると思われます。
世界の飲料水水質の継続的改善
世界保健機関(WHO)の最新データによると、世界で約22億人が飲料水にアクセスできず、その大部分はアジア太平洋とアフリカの開発途上地域に集中しています。しかし、多国間組織や政府のイニシアティブによる支援を受けて、多くの国が飲料水への公共アクセスを改善するために抜本的な改善を行っています。
最近の例では、2023年8月に世界銀行が資金を提供して飲料水処理プラントを建設し、アフリカ南東部に位置するモザンビークの首都マプトで約50万人に飲料水を供給しました。各国が水処理インフラを改善していることから、新興諸国の消泡剤需要は今後数年で急増するとみられます。
製紙業界の汚染に対する懸念の高まり
様々な産業がプラスチックに代わる環境に優しい材料として紙を徐々に採用しつつある一方で、近代的な紙の生産工程そのものは毒性と汚染に満ちています。製紙工場は大気汚染の主な原因であり、硫化水素、メタン、窒素酸化物、二酸化硫黄などの有害化合物を放出しています。また、製紙工場が水域を発がん性汚染物質で汚染していることは、多くの科学的研究によって決定的に証明されています。
製紙工場による水質汚染の問題は深刻で、各国政府は製紙業界に対して厳しい汚染防止策を打ち出し始めています。新しい汚染防止装置に投資する余裕のない不採算の製紙工場の多くも閉鎖されました。厳しい公害防止規制の実施は、短期的には消泡剤の需要を減少させると思われます。
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.
