Global Matting Agents Market 2017-2021

About Matting Agents

Matting agents minimize the gloss of polished surfaces or clear coating films. These are used as additives, which rapidly reduce the gloss of transparent coatings either by the formation of structural surface irregularities that scatters light or by making the material surface less transparent. Matting agents are manufactured from sulfuric acid and sodium silicate. Matting agents are used widely in various coating applications. They are classified into two categories: organic and inorganic.

Technavio’s analysts forecast the global matting agents market to grow at a CAGR of 5.11% during the period 2017-2021.

Other Prominent Vendors in the market are: Axalta Coating Systems, BASF, BYK, Deuteron, DGL Camel International, DOG Chemie, DOUBLE BOND CHEMICAL IND, Fuji Silysia Chemical, Huber Engineered Materials, Imerys, King Industries, Luan Jietonda Chemical, Michelman’s, Micro Powders, Patcham, PQ, Royal DSM, Shamrock Technologies, Shouguang Baote Chemical and Industrial, SureCrete Design Products, The Lubrizol, Thomas Swan, Toyobo, and Worlee.

Commenting on the report, an analyst from Technavio’s team said: “The latest trend gaining momentum in the market is Increasing development of new applications. Matting agents are used in various applications. Major vendors have increased their R&D activities and innovation. This has given rise to various new possible applications. There are many medical device applications that require matt surface finish for anti-block performance. Currently, matte surface is not incorporated largely in medical devices. However, in the future, matting agents might have a larger scope from the medical segment.”

According to the report, one of the major drivers for this market is High demand from paint and coating industry. Matting agents are majorly used in the paint and coating industry. Matting agents enhance the surface properties, making it scratchproof and resistant to weathering and water. The paint and coating industry accounts for the major consumption of matting agents. The global paint and coating market is growing significantly. The rising demand for matte finish surface from various coating applications is generating the demand for matting agents globally.

Further, the report states that one of the major factors hindering the growth of this market is Fluctuations in raw material prices. Matting agents are manufactured from sulfuric acid and sodium silicate. The global prices of sulfuric acid and sodium silicate are fluctuating. Thus, vendors are finding it difficult to manage the cost of matting agents, which is significantly hampering the demand for matting agent due to the price collapse.
