Hydrocarbon Defoamers Market Set for Moderate Growth Through 2035
The global hydrocarbon defoamers market is expected to grow steadily over the next decade, driven by increasing demand from oil and gas operations, industrial wastewater treatment, and specialty chemical applications.
The market, which has been driven by a handful of major producers including BASF SE, Dow Inc, Evonik Industries AG, Clariant AG, and Arkema S.A., is expected to see moderate growth over the 2026-2035 forecast period, with demand from oil and gas operations remaining the largest driver.
Rising oil production and refinery wastewater treatment demand are key drivers of growth in this sector, as well as investments in industrial wastewater treatment globally. The paints and coatings industry is also expected to grow, driven by construction and automotive markets.
