Anti-foaming Agents Market by Type and Application: Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 20172023, the global anti-foaming agents market was valued at $5,140 million in 2016, and is projected to reach $6,879 million by 2023, growing at a CAGR of 4.3% from 2017 to 2023. The silicone based type of anti-foaming agent occupied a significant three-seventh share of the global market in 2016.
Anti-foaming agents are surface-active materials that remove foam or prevent foam formation in different commercial, manufacturing, or industrial processes. Foam is usually formed during blending or mixing, reflux & distillation steps, and filtration & filling procedures resulting in reduced equipment capacity as well as increased processing time and expense. Thus, to cope up with the problem of foam formation, different types of anti-foaming agents or air release agents are used which are water based, oil based, silicone based, and other materials based.
