The pulp & paper application dominated the defoamer market during the
forecast period, closely followed by paints & coatings in 2016. Paints &
coatings application is also expected to witness high growth rate between
2016 and 2021 due to the growing paints & coatings industry in North
America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, as a result increasing the demand for
defoamer in the respective regions. The growing manufacturing industry in
the U.S., the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific countries such as China, Japan,
and India is also driving the market.
The defoamer market is classified based on type: water-based, oil-based,
silicone-based, EO/PO based and so on. The market is dominated by
silicone-based due to their enhanced properties such as low surface tension,
chemical inertness, thermal stability, and complete insolubility in water.
