Silica based Matting Agents Market Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast 2018 - 2026

Based on technology, the global silica-based matting agents market has been divided into solvent-based, water-based, and others (including powder and UV-cured). Water-based silica-based matting agents are eco-friendly and are used in paints & coating applications. They generate negligible VOC emissions. As a result, they are referred to as eco-friendly. Water-based silica-based matting agents possess excellent compatibility with water-based resins. The segment is estimated to expand at a rapid pace during the forecast period.

In terms of application, the global silica-based matting agents market can be classified into industrial coatings, wood coatings, architectural coatings, automotive coatings, and others (including leather and textiles). The industrial coatings segment can be further sub-segmented into metal, paper, plastics, printing inks, and others (including glass). Industrial coatings is the dominant segment of the global silica-based matting agents market. Growth in wood coatings and architectural coatings segments is expected to propel the silica-based matting agents market. Consumer preference is shifting toward low gloss and matt finishes in these applications. This, in turn, is driving the demand for matting agents.

Based on region, the global silica-based matting agents market has been segregated into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and Latin America. Asia Pacific is the major consumer of matting agents in general and silica-based matting agents in particular. This high demand can be ascribed to the presence of a vast paints & coatings industry in the region. Europe is another key consumer of silica-based matting agents in the world. In terms of demand, the market in the region is projected to expand at a sluggish pace during the forecast period. Demand for silica-based matting agents in Latin America and Middle East & Africa is likely to rise at a moderate pace during the forecast period.
