Introduction: Thickening and Sizing Agents Market

From the last couple of decades, the chemical sector is playing an important role in the contribution towards the growth of regional and global economics. Chemicals are used in several forms such as solvents, chemical intermediates, reagents, catalysts, additives, thickening, and sizing agents. Thickening and sizing agents are vital chemicals used in the industry for various applications and end-uses. Thickening and sizing agents are substances that increase the viscosity and volume of the liquid without changing its properties.

Sizing agent is useful for fibers to impart desired qualities and to minimize absorbency of fibers by keeping its resistance properties constant to make them useful for end-use applications such as printing. On the basis of the classification, sizing agents are classified as surface sizing and internal sizing agents. On the other hand, thickening agents are used as additives in the end-use products for several industrial application such as paints and inks, explosives, and many more. Usually used thickening agents are cellulose, starch, clay, and silica. Thickening agents are derived from polysaccharides such as proteins, vegetables, and gums.

Market Dynamics: Thickening and Sizing Agents Market

Research and development in the field of additives is expected to create growth opportunities for the thickening and sizing agents market in the coming future. There are several factors that impact the growth of the thickening and sizing agents market such as increasing demand for food and beverage industry products as well as increasing demand for nutritive products. The thickening and sizing agents market is expected to gain traction at a significant CAGR during the forecast period owing to current trends of application of clean-label products, and new product developments in end-use industries. Along with these positive factors, there are some challenging factors that are expected to restrict the growth of the thickening and sizing agents markets such as increasing pollution by use of thickening and sizing agents in chemical processing, as well as mineral resources depletion and fluctuation in prices of raw materials.

However, thickening agents are highly preferable oversizing agents, owing to extensive use in diversified end use applications globally. In addition to this, the risk of fire and explosion, and air pollution is minimum as compared to the sizing agent. On the basis of market volume share, thickening agents are expected to hold more than two-thirds of the thickening and sizing agents market globally. Growth in the manufacturing of end-use products is expected to fuel the market for thickening and sizing agents during the forecast period.

Regional Outlook: Thickening and Sizing Agents Market

On the basis of regional developments, the Asia Pacific region is projected to account for more than one-third share in the global thickening and sizing agents market by value and volume followed by Western Europe and North America. The key players from Europe and the Americas are holding approximately more than half of the thickening and sizing agents market.
