Coalescing Agent Market by Type (Hydrophilic, Hydrophobic), Application (Paints & Coatings, Adhesive & Sealants, Inks, Personal Care Ingredient), and Region (Apac, North America, Europe, Middle East & Africa, South America) - Global Forecast to 2023
[119 Pages Report] The coalescing agent market size is projected to grow from USD 1.0 billion in 2018 to USD 1.3 billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 4.9%. Coalescing agents are typically solvents which help optimize the film formation process of polymer emulsion. Coalescing agents are used as an additive to reduce the minimum film formation temperature, resulting in optimized film coherence and improve film properties such as scrub resistance, abrasion resistance, mechanical properties, and appearance.
The hydrophilic segment is expected to witness higher growth during the forecast period.
The coalescing agents market has been classified based on type as hydrophilic and hydrophobic. The hydrophilic segment of the market is projected to witness the higher CAGR during the forecast period. Hydrophilic coalescing agents are categorized into water soluble and low water soluble. Low water-soluble hydrophilic is one of the most commonly used coalescing agent owing to their high efficiency, low water solubility, and reduced risk of penetrating in the porous substrate. Furthermore, increasing demand for environment-friendly coalescing agent also supports the growth of the hydrophilic segment.
The paints & coatings segment accounts for the largest market share of the overall market.
Based on application, the coalescing agents market has been segmented into paints & coatings, inks, adhesive & sealants, personal care ingredient, and others. The paints & coatings application segment is projected to lead the overall coalescing agents market during the forecast period. The large market size in this segment is mainly attributed to the high demand in various end-use industry such as construction, automotive, furniture & wood working, and others. Increasing demand for high-performance coatings for application such as coil, marine, automotive, OEM refinish drives the demand for coalescing agent in this segment.
APAC is expected to account for the largest market share during the forecast period.
The APAC region is the largest consumer of coalescing agents across the globe. The APAC coalescing agents market is also projected to witness the highest CAGR between 2018 and 2023. Strong economic growth and increasing manufacturing output are majorly driving the demand for coalescing agents in the region.
Some of the key players operating in the coalescing agents market are Elementis Plc (UK), Eastman Chemical Company (US), Synthomer Plc (UK), DowDuPont (US), BASF SE (Germany), Croda International Plc (UK), Evonik Industries AG (Germany), Arkema Group (France), and Celanese Corporation (US). Competition among these players is high and, they mostly compete with each other on prices and quality of their products and product customization.
