Formulation Additive Market Analysis

The Formulation Additive Market is expected to register a CAGR of greater than 4% during the forecast period.

However, the fluctuating raw material prices and the outbreak of coronavirus across the world are likely to hinder the growth of the studied market.

The R&D in innovative adjuvant technologies for developing innovative formulation additives is likely to provide opportunities for the formulation additive market over the next five years.

Asia-Pacific dominated the market worldwide, with increasing consumption from countries, like China and India.

Asia-Pacific to Dominate the Market

Asia-Pacific is expected to be the largest and fastest-growing market over the forecast period, owing to robust demand from the construction and transportation industries, particularly in emerging countries, such as India and China.

The established industrial base and chemical manufacturing are expected to support the growth in the region.

Increasing demand for rheology modifiers, as they are essential additives employed in almost every coating to achieve desired rheological characteristics, help in controlling paint shelf stability, ease of application, open time wet edge, and sagging. Thus, these modifiers are likely to drive the demand for formulation additives over the forecast period.

Asia-Pacific provides expansion opportunities for formulation additive manufacturers, owing to the low cost of manufacture and a smaller number of regulations related to the use and manufacture of formulation additives in China, South Korea, and India. The ASEAN countries are also the emerging markets for formulation additives, owing to the increasing foreign investments in the manufacturing sector.

Hence, such market trends are expected to drive the demand for formulation additives in the region during the forecast period.
