消泡剂全球市场预测(2025-2030)Global Defoamers Market - Forecasts from 2025 to 2030 |
全球消泡剂市场预计将从 2025 年的 38.59 亿美元成长到 2030 年的 49.49 亿美元,复合年增长率为 5.1%。
消泡剂或抗泡剂是减少和防止工业製程流体中泡沫形成的化学添加剂。大多数工业过程中都不希望出现泡沫,泡沫会导致许多操作问题,包括表面涂层不良、抑制氧气传递以及阻止容器和储罐装满。消泡剂可去除现有泡沫,而抗泡剂可防止泡沫形成。
消泡剂用于许多工业製程和产品,包括农药、水处理、纸张和纸浆、油漆和涂料、食品加工、石油和天然气、製药、化学品和金属加工。使用消泡剂有利于提高这些製程的性能,增加产量并降低营业成本。它还在减少最终用户製造过程中产生的二氧化碳排放方面发挥着至关重要的作用,推动了对低VOC、无溶剂消泡剂的需求。
製造商优先使用生物基和永续原料,而不是石油基材料,生产商则专注于开发创新的高性能硅胶化合物,以提高产品性能。这些公司旨在透过推出新产品、扩大产品系列、扩张地理和投资研发来开拓市场。每家公司都专注于开发专为特定应用而设计的产品。为了巩固市场地位,公司计划扩大各行业的基本客群,并专注于开发满足不同客户需求的产品。
已开发地区消费者环保意识的不断增强预计将进一步推动水基消泡剂的使用,因为它们具有环境永续性。在此方面,2024年6月,Elementis推出了更具永续的96%生物基碳含量、C14检验的DAPRO BIO 9910。该公司被认为是油漆、涂料和工业水性应用流变改质剂的领先特种化学品供应商。这项重大发展将使公司能够满足客户对环保且经济高效的消泡剂日益增长的需求。
然而,硅胶消泡剂含有挥发性有机化合物(VOC)。 VOC含量过高对环境有害。因此,企业纷纷致力于生产无VOC产品,并创新开发高性能有机硅胶化合物作为原料。然而,一些公司仍在生产较旧的硅胶消泡剂,这些消泡剂会排放对环境和人类有害的危险烟雾。
美国FDA和欧盟委员会等监管机构也实施了多项法律来控制消泡剂的成分。无溶剂消泡剂的VOC含量较低,因此世界各地的环境法规都鼓励使用无溶剂消泡剂,而不是高VOC消泡剂。
消泡剂市场驱动因素
消泡剂是大多数主要行业中使用的非常重要的化学品,包括纸浆和造纸、石油和天然气以及水处理。例如,在石油和天然气工业中,钻井液用于在钻油井时平衡井孔。当钻井液到达地面时,它会产生泡沫,而这种泡沫在此时很难泵送或清洗。因此,需要在流体中添加消泡剂来消除泡沫。它是一种必需的化学品,随着最终用户行业的扩张,其消耗量将会越来越大。
另一个例子是在水处理厂中使用消泡剂。消泡剂可减少泵浦气蚀、防止溢流损失并提高卫生和安全性。因此,消泡剂可以优化污泥脱水过程,促进澄清、过滤、浓缩和浮选过程。
消泡剂市场的地理前景
中国、日本、印度、韩国等主要经济体占据亚太地区主导地位。一些成长最快的新兴经济体都位于该地区,例如东南亚国协。
亚太地区消泡剂市场正在成长,这得益于快速工业化等多种因素,尤其是中国和印度,这两个国家的製造业活动蓬勃发展,基础设施投资不断增加。消费品产量不断增长,尤其是食品和饮料行业的产量,以及鼓励有效废弃物管理的严格环境法规进一步推动了对消泡剂的需求。此外,在油漆和涂料、农业化学品和水处理等不同行业中越来越多的应用凸显了消泡剂在这种动态的市场环境中对优化生产流程和提高产品品质的关键作用。

The global defoamers market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.1%, reaching a market size of US$4.949 billion in 2030 from US$3.859 billion in 2025.
A defoamer or an anti-foaming agent is a chemical additive that reduces and prevents the formation of foam in industrial process liquids. Foam is undesirable in most industrial processes and causes a lot of problems in operations, such as defective coatings on the surface, blocking oxygen transfer, and preventing the filling of containers or tanks up to capacity. A defoamer eliminates existing foam, while anti-foam prevents further formation of foam.
Defoamers are used in many industrial processes and products such as agrochemicals, water treatment, paper and pulp, paints and coatings, food processing, oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, metalworking, etc. The application of defoamers benefits these processes through increased production capacity, output volume, and reduced operational cost. They also play an important role in reducing the carbon footprint caused by the manufacturing process of end-users, driving the demand for low VOC solvent-free defoamers.
Manufacturers prioritize utilizing bio-based and sustainable raw materials rather than petro-based variants, while the producers focus on developing innovative and high-performance silicone compounds to improve product performance. Companies are aiming for their market footprints through new product launches, product portfolio expansion, geographical expansions, and investments in research and development. They are focusing on developing products designed for specific applications. To strengthen their market positions, they are also planning to expand their customer base in various industries and focus on product development to meet varying customer needs.
Rising environmental awareness among consumers in developed regions is further anticipated to propel the use of water-based defoamers due to their environmental sustainability. In this regard, in June 2024, Elementis announced their new 96% biobased carbon content, C14 verified DAPRO BIO 9910, which is more sustainable. The company is regarded as a leading specialty chemical supplier of rheology modifiers for paint, coating & industrial aqueous applications. This key development will allow the company to meet the growing demand of customers for environmentally safe and cost-effective defoamers.
However, silicone defoamers contain volatile organic compound (VOC) content. High VOC content is dangerous to the environment. Therefore, companies are focusing on manufacturing VOC content-free products and innovating to develop high-performance silicone compounds as raw materials. However, some companies are still producing old silicone defoamers that might emit dangerous gases that are harmful to the environment and human health.
Regulatory bodies like the U.S. FDA and the European Commission have also enforced several laws to manage the composition of defoamers. Environmental regulations worldwide encourage their use over high-VOC deformers because of the low VOC of solvent-free deformers.
Global defoamers market drivers
Deformers are very important chemicals used in almost every major industry, such as paper and pulp, oil and gas, water treatment, etc. For example, in the oil & gas industry, when an oil well is drilled, drilling fluid is used to balance the borehole. At times, drilling fluid generates foam as it reaches the surface, and at this stage, foam can be difficult to pump and clean up. Hence, defoamers are added to the fluid to break the foam. It is a necessary chemical that will be consumed more with the expansion of end-user industries.
Another example is the use of defoamers in water treatment facilities by municipal and industrial wastewater streams. Where they assist in reducing pump cavitations, preventing loss due to overflow, and improving sanitation and safety. Hence, defoamers optimize the sludge dewatering process and facilitate clarification, filtration, thickening, and floatation processes.
Geographical outlook of the global defoamers market
The major economies like China, Japan, India, and South Korea dominate the Asia-Pacific region. Some of the fastest-growing emerging economies are from this region, such as ASEAN countries.
The APAC market for defoamers is growing owing to several factors, such as rapid industrialization, especially in China and India, where there are strong manufacturing activities and increasing investment in infrastructures. The increasing production of consumer goods, especially in the food and beverage sector, and stringent environmental regulations promoting effective waste management further fuel the demand for defoaming agents. Additionally, the rise in applications across diverse industries, such as paints and coatings, agrochemicals, and water treatment, underscores the critical role of defoamers in optimizing production processes and enhancing product quality within this dynamic market landscape.
