Abstract, Snapshot, Market Analysis & Market Definition: Global Angioplasty Balloons Market


The global defoamers market size was valued at USD 3.2 billion in 2018 and projected to exhibit a CAGR of 4.8% over the forecast period. Rising use of defoamers in several agrochemicals, including fertilizers and pesticides, and significant growth in water treatment infrastructure drives the market.
Defoamers play a significant role in minimizing the carbon footprint caused by manufacturers and end users, which is likely to propel demand for low VoC solvent-free defoamers. Manufacturers are emphasizing on the usage of bio-based and sustainable raw materials instead of petro-based variants. Producers, on the other hand, are stressing on the development of modified and high performance silicone compounds to enhance product performance.

  
Environmental regulations across the globe have stimulated the use of solvent-free defoamers due to low VoC content. Water-based product variants are expected to witness a higher demand owing to their environmental sustainability. Manufacturers are now focusing on research and innovation to develop high-performance silicone compounds as raw materials.
Defoamers are widely used in water treatment infrastructure by municipal and industrial wastewater stream, which helps in reduction of pump cavitations, prevention of loss due to overflow, and improvement of sanitation and safety. Hence, defoamers optimize the sludge dewatering process and can facilitate clarification, filtration, thickening, and floatation processes.
Rising environmental awareness among consumers in developed regions is anticipated to propel the use of water-based defoamers. Growing trend in the agrochemical industry and immense potential in agrochemical formulation is expected to create new opportunities in the market.
Regulatory bodies such as the U.S. FDA and the European Commission have enforced several laws to regulate the composition of defoamers. The organizations have specified usage limits of various components in the product formulation. Some variants contain harsh chemicals used in foods and have the potential to cause health hazards. As a result, stringent regulations by governing bodies in developed countries and associated side-effects could hinder the market during the forecast period.
