Hydrophobic Agent Market Growth by Forthcoming Developments, Industry Scope, Opportunity, Business Strategy and COVID-19 Market Scenario

Hydrophobic agents are primarily applied on fabrics, metals, glass, textiles, and plastics to offer protection from water, moisture, and dirt. A hydrophobic agent is also used as a water repellent substrate in coatings or adhesives. Hydrophobic agents are extensively used in the automotive industry, due to their excellent water and dust repellence. Buildings are prone to cracks, capillaries, and micro-cracks in changing weather conditions. These critical areas of buildings need to be protected from water, moisture, and harmful gases. This is expected to fuel the demand for hydrophobic agents during the forecast period.

Key Drivers of Global Hydrophobic Agent Market

* Increasing demand for hydrophobic agents for use in protective and performance coatings is expected to act as a major factor driving the global hydrophobic agent market during the forecast period. Hydrophobic-agent-based coatings have witnessed high demand over the last few years, as they prevent damage to installations and transportation equipment.

* Hydrophobic-agent-based coatings prevent entry of water through the coated surface layer. Electronic gadgets need to be protected from water, chemicals, and moisture to prevent short circuiting or damage. This is likely to propel the demand for hydrophobic agents in the next few years.

* Hydrophobic agents are suitable for use in different adhesives and coatings, which are used in applications such as metal coating or material binding.

Paints & Coatings Application Segment to Witness Attractive Opportunities

* Rise in the demand for water-repellent coatings in several end-use industries led by excellent protection offered by them is fueling the demand for hydrophobic agents for use in coating applications. Various hydrophobic agents such as polysiloxanes, fluoroalkyl silanes, and fluoropolymers are used for synthesis of coating materials.

* Hydrophobic agents provide protection from microbes, fouling, and corrosion to surfaces. Development of health care infrastructure in various countries is projected to fuel the demand for hydrophobic agents in the next few years.

Stringent Regulations and High Capital Investments to Hamper Market

* Production of hydrophobic agents requires high capital investments for establishment of the production facility and infrastructure. This is likely to act as a key entry barrier for companies, thereby hampering the demand for hydrophobic agents in the near future.

* Production and usage of hydrophobic agents involve emission of VOCs, which are harmful for the environment. Stringent regulations on the release of VOCs and fluorocarbons in the atmosphere in several countries are estimated to hamper the global hydrophobic agent market in the next few years.

* Limited durability of hydrophobic agents, especially in harsh and extreme environmental conditions, is also estimated to adversely affect the global market in the next few years.
