Global Highly Efficient Paint Defoamer Market Growth 2026-2032
Description
The global Highly Efficient Paint Defoamer market size is predicted to grow from US$ 1233 million in 2025 to US$ 1968 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.0% from 2026 to 2032.
In 2025, global production of highly efficient paint defoamers reached approximately 0.60 million tons, with an average market price of around US$ 2,100 per ton. Industry gross profit margins generally ranged from 30% to 45%, reflecting the relatively high technical content and formulation value of defoaming additives. Global production capacity in 2025 was estimated at about 0.80 million tons, indicating sufficient supply capability to support growing downstream demand.
Highly efficient paint defoamers are functional chemical additives designed to eliminate and suppress foam during paint manufacturing, storage, and application processes. They improve coating surface quality, enhance processing efficiency, and prevent defects such as pinholes and craters caused by trapped air. These products are formulated to be compatible with various coating systems while maintaining long-term defoaming performance.
The industrial chain includes upstream silicone oils, mineral oils, polyethers, emulsifiers, and auxiliary additives. The midstream focuses on formulation design, blending, emulsification, and quality control. Downstream applications mainly involve architectural coatings, industrial coatings, automotive coatings, wood coatings, and related paint and ink systems.
The highly efficient paint defoamer market is growing steadily as global coating production expands and quality standards continue to rise. Demand is driven by increasing use of water-based and high-solid coatings, which are more prone to foam formation during processing and application. Manufacturers are focusing on developing defoamers with stronger compatibility, lower dosage requirements, and reduced surface defects. Technological progress in molecular design and emulsification processes is enabling improved performance across diverse coating systems. During 2026–2032, supported by environmental regulations, coating upgrades, and expanding construction and industrial activity, the highly efficient paint defoamer market is expected to maintain stable growth and gradual value enhancement.
