The global sizing agents market is estimated to be USD 3.1 billion in 2018 and is projected to reach USD 4.0 billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 5.4% during the same period. The growth in the production of textile & clothing industry and paper & paperboard products due to the demand for paper-based packaging is expected to drive the sizing agents market.
By type, the synthetic segment is expected to be the largest contributor to the sizing agents market during the forecast period.
The growth of the segment is mainly attributed to the demand for synthetic sizing agents such as polyvinyl alcohol and styrene among others. They are increasingly consumed in various applications such as textile & fiber and paper& paperboard applications. The above-mentioned factors are responsible for driving the demand for sizing agents during the forecast period.
By application, the textile & fiber segment is expected to be the largest contributor to the sizing agents market during the forecast period.
The growth of the segment is mainly driven by increasing global production of textile and clothing products. Furthermore, the various physical properties possessed by sizing agents help in strengthening of the yarn and impart abrasion resistance. The demand for sizing agents has increased owing to the huge textile production capacity and strong demand for textile and clothing. Moreover, expansion of automotive, aerospace, and medical industries and shift from the traditional low-value textile to high-value textile products also support the growth of the sizing agents market.
APAC is expected to account for the largest market size during the forecast period.
The growth of the market in the region is mainly driven by the shift of production facilities from North America and Europe to APAC. China, India, Japan, and Southeast Asia are the major contributors to the pulp & paper and textile & clothing production. APAC is one of the largest exporters of textile & clothing products across the globe. The growth of the packaging industry in the region, owing to increasing per capita expenditure on food & beverage and growing industrialization, is further expected to create the demand for paper-based packaging in the region. This, in turn, is expected to drive the sizing agents market in the region.
