Matting Agents Market to Reach US$ 729.6 Million by 2032, North America Leads with 33.3% Market Share

The global matting agents market is projected to grow from US$ 537.9 million in 2022 to US$ 729.6 million by 2032, registering a steady CAGR of 3.1%. This growth is attributed to increasing demand for matte-finished surfaces, especially in industrial and automotive applications, as well as rising environmental awareness driving a shift toward low-VOC and water-based technologies.

Matting agents, primarily used in paints and coatings, are additives that reduce surface gloss, enhance aesthetic appeal, and provide functional benefits like anti-reflective and smooth-touch finishes. Their use spans diverse sectors, including automotive, construction, furniture, wood, leather, and plastic coatings.

Key Growth Drivers

Shift Toward Water-Based Technologies

The water-based segment holds a dominant 43.8% share of the global market. Its popularity stems from stringent regulatory mandates on VOC emissions, which have limited the use of solvent-based matting agents. Water-based formulations are environmentally friendly, provide thermal and wear resistance, and are widely adopted in decorative, industrial, and wood coatings.

Rising Demand from Industrial Coatings

Industrial coatings account for 32.2% of total applications. These coatings benefit from matting agents by delivering low-gloss, anti-glare surfaces, ideal for manufacturing environments, heavy machinery, and automotive interiors. The increasing trend toward matte-finished and anti-corrosive coatings further supports growth in this segment.

Preference for UV-Curable Coatings

The demand for UV cure coatings is accelerating due to advantages such as fast drying times, energy efficiency, and minimal emissions. These coatings, which integrate matting agents, are being increasingly used across architectural, industrial, and wood applications, contributing to overall market expansion.
