消泡剤市場傾向

世界の急速な工業化

世界の工業化も消泡剤市場の重要な促進要因です。各国の産業部門の成長は、食品、繊維、自動車、その他の製品を提供する製造活動の自然な拡大につながります。さらに、消泡剤は、製品の欠陥、生産時間の短縮、設備の故障を避けるために、多くの製造プロセスで泡の発生を防ぐために必要とされています。新興国は特に産業が急成長しているため、新しい効率的な製造アプローチの価値を過大評価することは難しいです。

厳しい環境規制

政府や国際的な規制機関は、環境への害を最小限に抑え、産業の持続可能性を促進するため、強力な環境基準を課しています。有害な産業活動の影響を最小限に抑えるために消泡剤を必要とする廃水処理と排出は、環境処理に関する一般的な義務です。バイデン-ハリス政権は、微粒子汚染による生命を脅かす病気からアメリカの家族、従業員、地域社会の健康を守るため、さらに厳しい大気質規制を最終決定しました。米国環境保護庁は、微小粒子状物質2.5の年間健康基準である国家大気環境基準を1立方メートルあたり12マイクログラムから9マイクログラムに強化することで、4,500人の早死を防ぎ、最大460億米ドルの正味健康利益をもたらすとしています。

節水意識の高まり

節水問題への関心の高まりは、効率的な方法による水処理プロセスの重要性を強調しており、貴重な解決策のひとつが消泡剤の使用です。繊維産業や製造業、国際的なパルプ・製紙業は、水の利用や処理の現象として、これらのセクターにますます大きな責任を課しています。アラブ首長国連邦の「水の安全保障戦略2036」によると、第一は、通常時と臨時時の両方において、サステイナブル水へのアクセスを提供することです。戦略の目的は、水源に対する総需要を21％削減し、水生産性指数を1立方メートルあたり100米ドルに引き上げ、水不足指数を3度まで低下させ、処理水の再利用率を95％まで引き上げ、国の水消費能力を2日分増加させることです。エネルギー・インフラストラクチャー省は2017年9月、アラブ首長国連邦水安全保障戦略2036を発表しました。この文書の目的は、地域の規範、世界保健機関（WHO）の基準、アラブ首長国連邦の幸福と活力を達成するというビジョンと連動して、平常時や災害時にサステイナブル水へのアクセスを提供することです。

消泡剤市場セグメンテーション

IMARC Groupは、市場の各セグメントにおける主要動向の分析と、2024～2032年までの世界、地域、国レベルの予測を提供しています。当レポートでは、市場を分散媒体、製品、用途に基づいて分類しています。

分散媒体別内訳

当レポートでは、分散媒体別の市場の詳細な区分と分析を行っています。これには、水性システムと非水性/溶剤が含まれます。

水性システムセグメントは、環境と健康に影響を及ぼす揮発性有機化合物（VOC）への依存を減らすことを目指し、さまざまな産業で水性プロセスを重視する傾向が強まっていることが背景にあります。このような水性システムへの移行に伴い、水性環境に適合し、システムの特性や最終製品の品質に悪影響を与えることなく効率的に泡を低減または除去できる消泡剤の使用が必要となります。持続可能性への動向と環境規制の強化は、水性消泡剤への需要をさらに後押ししています。

一方、非水性/溶剤系セグメントは、ある種のコーティング、接着剤、石油抽出作業など、溶剤ベースのプロセスを必要とする業界の特殊なニーズによって牽引されています。これらの用途では、水性消泡剤が有効でない有機溶剤が使用されることが多いです。このセグメントの需要は、溶剤系消泡剤が、水が有効な媒体でない条件下で泡を抑制する効率と、高温・低水環境での性能によって促進されています。環境上の理由から水性への移行が進んでいるもの、非水性消泡剤の性能特性が他の追随を許さない用途では、依然として大きな市場が存在しています。

Defoamers Market Trends:

Rapid Industrialization Across the Globe

Global industrialization is another essential driver for the defoamers market. The growth of industrial sectors in various countries leads to the natural expansion of manufacturing activities to provide food, textiles, automotive, and other products. Furthermore, defoamers are needed for preventing foam generation during numerous manufacturing processes to avoid product defects, decrease production time, and equipment breakdown. Emerging countries are particularly experiencing rapid industrial growth; thus, the value of new efficient manufacturing approaches is difficult to overestimate.

Stringent Environmental Regulations

Governments and international regulatory bodies are imposing strong environmental standards to minimize environmental harm and facilitate industrial sustainability. Wastewater treatment and emissions, which need defoamers to support minimize the impact of hazardous industrial activities, are common mandates for environmental treatment. The Biden-Harris Administration finalized an even more stringent air quality limit to safeguard the health of America's families, employees, and communities from life-threatening ailments caused by fine particle pollution. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's action to strengthen the annual health-based national ambient air quality standard for fine particulate matter 2.5 from 12 micrograms per cubic meter to 9 micrograms per cubic meter will save 4,500 premature deaths, resulting in up to USD 46 billion in net health benefits.

Rising Awareness of Water Conservation

Growing attention to water conservation issues has emphasized the importance of water treatment processes in efficient ways, and one of the valuable solutions is the use of defoamers. Textile and manufacturing industries, as well as internationally orientated pulp and papermaking, put increasing responsibility on those sectors as a phenomenon of water utilization and treatment. According to the UAE Water Security Strategy 2036, the first provides sustainable access to water during both usual and occasional situations. The strategy's purposes are reducing the total demand for water sources by 21 percent, increasing the water productivity index to USD 100 per cubic meter, decreasing the water scarcity index to three degrees, increasing the reuse of treated water up to 95 percent and increasing the national water consumption capacity by 2 days. Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure unveiled the UAE Water Security Strategy 2036 in September 2017. The document's aim is to provide sustainable access to water during ordinary and disaster situations in conjunction with local norms, standards of the World Health Organisation, and vision of achieving happiness and vitality in the UAE.

Defoamers Market Segmentation:

IMARC Group provides an analysis of the key trends in each segment of the market, along with forecasts at the global, regional, and country levels for 2024-2032. Our report has categorized the market based on medium of dispersion, product, and application.

Breakup by Medium of Dispersion:

Aqueous Systems

Non-Aqueous/Solvent

The report has provided a detailed breakup and analysis of the market based on the medium of dispersion. This includes aqueous systems and non-aqueous/solvent.

The aqueous systems segment is driven by the increasing emphasis on water-based processes across various industries, aiming to reduce the reliance on volatile organic compounds (VOCs) due to their environmental and health implications. This shift towards water-based systems necessitates the use of defoamers that are compatible with aqueous environments, capable of efficiently reducing or eliminating foam without adversely affecting the system's properties or the final product quality. The trend towards sustainability and stricter environmental regulations further bolsters the demand for aqueous-based defoamers, as industries seek to comply with regulatory standards and reduce their ecological footprint.

On the other hand, the non-aqueous/solvent segment is driven by the specific needs of industries that require solvent-based processes, such as certain types of coatings, adhesives, and oil extraction operations. These applications often involve organic solvents where water-based defoamers are not effective. The demand in this segment is fueled by the efficiency of solvent-based defoamers in suppressing foam under conditions where water is not a viable medium, and their ability to perform in high-temperature and low-water environments. Despite the move towards aqueous systems for environmental reasons, there remains a substantial market for non-aqueous defoamers in applications where their performance characteristics are unmatched.

Breakup by Product:

Water-based

Oil-based

Silicone-based

Others

Silicone-based represents the leading market segment

The report has provided a detailed breakup and analysis of the market based on the product. This includes water-based, oil-based, silicone-based, and others. According to the report, silicone-based represented the largest segment.

The silicone-based segment is driven by the increasing demand for high-performance and versatile defoaming solutions across various industries. Silicone-based defoamers are renowned for their exceptional efficacy in controlling foam, even at low concentrations, and their stability over a wide range of temperatures and pH levels. This versatility makes them suitable for diverse applications, from water treatment to food processing, where stringent foam control is essential. Moreover, their compatibility with multiple systems and minimal impact on the end product's quality further bolster their preference among manufacturers seeking efficient, reliable defoaming solutions. This segment's growth is also fueled by ongoing innovations aimed at enhancing environmental sustainability and reducing the ecological footprint of defoaming agents.

Breakup by Application:

Pulp and Paper

Paints and Coatings

Agrochemicals

Water Treatment

Food and Beverages

Others

Pulp and paper represents the leading market segment

The report has provided a detailed breakup and analysis of the market based on the application. This includes pulp and paper, paints and coatings, agrochemicals, water treatment, food and beverages, and others. According to the report, pulp and paper represented the largest segment.

The pulp and paper segment is driven by the increasing demand for packaging materials and hygiene products, reflecting global consumer trends and the growth of e-commerce. Enhanced environmental awareness has led to a surge in the use of recycled paper, necessitating the use of defoamers to maintain production quality and efficiency during the recycling process. Technological advancements in paper manufacturing processes also play a crucial role, as they demand sophisticated defoaming solutions to meet the industry's evolving needs. Furthermore, regulatory pressures for sustainable and eco-friendly manufacturing practices push for the development and integration of innovative, environmentally benign defoamers, aligning with the sector's commitment to reducing its ecological footprint.
