During the pandemic, the industries where dispersing agents are being used were shut down, too, resulting in the downfall of the demand in this market. The construction industry accounts for the largest market share in the worldwide dispersing agent market. Hence, expanding construction is expected to boost the market throughout the projected period. However, during COVID-19, the construction activities across the globe have been halted amid lockdown, which is expected to decrease the demand for dispersing agent during the forecast period. In addition, a decrease in investment in construction & infrastructure and a reduction in automobile sales have further hindered the growth of the market. Thus, hindering the dispersing agents market growth as these dispersing agents are used in the automotive coating.
The high-quality dispersing agents are used to undertake efficient and effective operations in the oil & gas industry. Also, the industry demands a bulk quantity to cater to increased demand in the energy sector. They are used in drilling fluids to prevent formation fluids from entering the well bore. The dispersing agents are chemicals that contain surfactants and/or solvent compounds that act to break petroleum oil into small droplets. In oil drilling, these droplets disperse into the water, where they are subjected to natural processes, such as waves and currents, which help to break them down further.
The current global COVID-19 pandemic has widespread implications for manufacturing companies. From rising energy costs to unexpected fluctuations in raw material price levels, unforeseen obstacles are destabilizing supply chains and making it difficult for manufacturers to deliver quality products at low prices and earn profits. As the prices of raw materials fluctuate, it is up to manufacturers to either absorb additional costs, find new ways to mitigate the expenses, or pass price increases along to consumers who are already reluctant to spend. Price fluctuations leave no room for error when planning a project’s budget and have a lot of manufacturers walking a thin line between success and operating at a loss.
Dispersing agents are used in a wide range of industries, such as paints & coatings, construction, water treatment, and oil & gas. The growing inclination toward waterborne systems and growth in the industrial sector has accelerated the usage of high-quality paints and coatings loaded with huge quantities of superior dispersing agents. The dispersing agents play a vital role in the pharmaceutical industry. They play a significant role in the preparation of different drug delivery systems. For the preparation of compounds, which are not entirely soluble in an aqueous medium, pharmaceutically tolerable dispersing agents are mainly used to enhance solubility.
Dispersing agents are chemicals that contain surfactants and/or solvent compounds that act to break petroleum oil into small droplets. Dispersing agents are among the quickest oil spill responses available to clean oil pollution. Oil spills are one of the major concerns for the oil & gas industry and a significant threat to the marine environment. Oil spills are caused during drilling or transportation of oil. Dispersing agents are used in oil spills to decrease the risk that the oil slick of reaching shores and affecting the surroundings like marshes and mangroves or encountering animals at the surface.
Solvent-borne dispersing agents are popular, as they are used in diverse coating applications due to their high performance. Solvent-borne dispersing agents are primarily used in automotive coatings, general industrial coatings, and protective coatings. New high solid formulations (50–70% solids) successfully meet regulations with regard to VOC emissions. The main use of solvent-borne (excluding water) dispersing agents is to promote the formation of a durable film on the substrate.
Non-ionic structured dispersing agents are non-ionic wetting, dispersing, and emulsifying agents suitable for textiles' scouring, bleaching, and finishing. These are mainly cleaning agents used on cotton, wool, and most synthetics and their blends to provide a uniformly prepared surface for dyeing. This structure plays an important role in the removal of excess oils and fiber lubricants from fiber surfaces prior to dyeing. Many fiber lubricants and carding oils contain a silica additive to improve the cohesiveness of the yarn. This can cause flow problems and blockages in equipment such as beams and package dyeing equipment.
The Asia Pacific region is developing rapidly due to improving economic conditions and increasing population. These factors play an important role in driving the dispersing agents market; the developed countries of the Asia Pacific house the key global automakers. This region not only serves as a manufacturing hub but also has key R&D facilities. The construction industry in the emerging countries of the Asia Pacific is expected to grow because of the improving economic conditions as well as the booming manufacturing sector. According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), China and India are among the fastest-growing economies in the world. India is expected to outpace China with the highest growth rate, thus driving the global economy. Due to the high growth rate in these countries, the dispersing agents market is also projected to grow rapidly.
