Silica-based matting agents market size is forecast to reach US$334.1 million by 2027, after growing at a CAGR of 4.7% during 2022-2027. Matting agents are additives that are mixed with coatings and paints in order to impart a matte finish to the substrate. Silica-based matting agents are widely used in coating, and printing ink formulations to reduce the gloss of the coated films. The growing demand for industrial coatings along with increasing demand from automotive, construction, textile, and packaging among others are driving the market growth during the forecast period. Polyolefin wax is used as a matting agent in clear coats, printing ink, and powder coatings. The growing adoption of eco-friendly matting agents among end-use industries is also supporting the market growth during the forecast period. Waster-based silica-based matting agent is one of the most eco-friendly products and generates minimum VOC emissions. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Construction spending during July 2021 was estimated at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of US$1,568.8 billion, which is above the revised June estimate of US$1,563.4 billion. However, fluctuation in raw material prices is likely to hamper the market growth during the forecast period 2022-2027. However, regulation on the usage of solvent-based matting agents is likely to hamper the market growth during the forecast period.
COVID-19 Impact
The COVID-19 pandemic is impacting different industries; one of the few industries that were primarily hit to some extent was the paints & coatings industry. The demand for silica-based matting agents is low during the covid-19 crises. The delay in manufacturing activities and construction activities in both developed and developing nations impacted the market growth for silica-based matting agents during covid-19. However, the Silica Based Matting Agents industry faced problems related to the supply chain, lack of workforce, and lack of raw materials supply among others. According to World Bank, the world construction value was US$22.04 trillion in 2020, compared to US$23.29 trillion in 2019, showing a decline of around US$1.25 trillion in 2020.
Silica Based Matting Agents Market Segment Analysis – By Technology
The water-based technology segments accounted for approximately 26% of the market share in 2021 and are estimated to grow at a high CAGR during the forecast period. Water-based silica-based matting agents are known as eco-friendly agents and are extensively utilized in paints and coatings applications. Water-based matting agents generate negligible VOC emissions compared to solvent-based agents. Therefore, they are referred to as eco-friendly and have excellent compatibility with water-based resins. End-use industries such as automotive, construction, and textile are widely preferring water-based coatings.
