What Are the Critical Factors Driving Defoamers Market Development?
The defoamers market's growth is anticipated to be spurred by an increasing requirement for wastewater treatment. This procedure involves eradicating impurities from wastewater to ensure it is safe for either environmental discharge or reuse and usually employs physical, chemical, and biological techniques. The escalating need for uncontaminated water resources, amplified by growing populations and environmental apprehensions, is driving this demand for wastewater treatment, necessitating the implementation of sustainable water management methods. Defoamers play a crucial role in this process as they counteract foam buildup, thereby enhancing process efficiency and sidestepping hurdles in equipment like aeration tanks and clarifiers. For example, in 2024, the International Trade Administration, a government agency based in the US, reported that Saudi Arabia built 133 wastewater treatment facilities in 2021, signifying a 14.66% growth from the prior year. Hence, the burgeoning demand for wastewater treatment is fueling the expansion of the defoamers market.

What Are the Major Trends Transforming the Defoamers Industry?
Major firms active in the defoamers market are concentrating on creating innovative products like siloxane-based defoamers to improve foam control effectiveness and performance in industrial uses. Siloxane-based defoamers are antifoaming agents derived from silicone compounds, particularly polydimethylsiloxane, intended to limit or completely remove foam in industrial operations. They operate by swiftly spreading across foam surfaces, collapsing bubbles and inhibiting further foam creation, thereby enhancing process efficiency and product quality in various sectors. For instance, Evonik Industries AG, a chemical manufacturing company based in Germany, released TEGO Foamex 8420 in March 2025. This next-generation siloxane-based defoamer is designed to tackle the most difficult foaming problems in waterborne overprint varnishes and printing inks. This new addition broadens Evonik Coating Additives' extensive range of defoamers, providing superior defoaming capabilities, long-term efficiency and cost-effectiveness through lower dosage requirements. Moreover, TEGO Foamex 8420 is particularly efficient in formulations that contain high amounts of foam-stabilizing surfactants like diisooctyl sulfosuccinate (DOSS) and in complex pigment grinds, both of which are challenging to defoam.
