A defoamer is a chemical additive that diminishes and hinders the formation of foam in industrial
process liquids. Foam is also known as bubbly liquid, which is usually produced as an undesirable
byproduct during the manufacture of several substances. Foam usually creates difficulties in the
flow of liquid and stops the movement of oxygen from air. Therefore, defoamers are used to solve
the problems caused due to foam. Defoamers possess the most essential characteristics, which
include low viscosity and could be easily spread on the foamy surface.
The global defoamers market can be segmented on the basis of products and applications.
On the basis of product, the global defoamers market can be segmented into oil based defoamers,
silicone based defoamers, water based defoamers, and others. The “others” section of defoamers
product segment include ethylene oxide (EO)/propylene oxide (PO) based defoamers. The major
product segments of defoamers are silicone based and oil based defoamers, which together
accounted for around 66% of the market share in the global defoamers market during 2014. The
major factors driving the growth of the silicone based defoamers market are its versatility and
acceptability in various conditions. The silicone based defoamers dominated the global defoamers
market during 2014, in terms of demand. Water based defoamers accounted for one of the fastest
growing product segment in the global defoamers market during 2014, due to its characteristics.
Water based deafoamers are considered best at releasing entrapped air. Oil based defoamers is
expected to witness steady growth, during the forecast period.
On the basis of application, the global defoamers market can be segmented into paints and
coatings, paper and pulp, water treatment, food and beverages, and others. The paper and pulp
industry accounted for the largest market share in the application segment of the global defoamers
market during 2014. In paper mills industry, the formation of foam leads to create number of
defects in the final product and hampers the proper functioning of machinery. Some of the major

difficulties include the development of bacteria, creation of deposits, formation of paper, and
drainage problem. Moreover, the effectiveness of pumps also gets affected. The usage of
defoamers reduces the problems. The water treatment industry accounted for the second largest
market share in the application segment of the global defoamers market during 2014. The major
factors supporting the growth of the defaomers in water treatment segment is the up surging
concerns over wastewater and freshwater scarcity. The food and beverages, paint and coatings,
and others application segments are expected to witness higher demand for defoamers during the
forecast period.
Geographically, Asia-Pacific is the largest market for defoamers, followed by Europe and North
America. During the forecast period, the Asia-Pacific defoamers market is expected to grow at the
fastest rate, which is driven by lenient government regulations, large consumption base, and
significant growth of various end-user industries. Japan, China, and India are expected to dominate
the defoamers market within Asia-Pacific, in terms of demand. The growth of the European
defoamers market is expected to be steady during the forecast period, owing to stringent
regulatory policies imposed by the European Union.
