U.S. Dispersing Agents Market Demand to Reach 60,842.2 Tons By 2025

The U.S. dispersing agents market size demand is anticipated to reach 60,842.2 tons by 2025. It is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 7.1% over the forecast period. Dispersants are used to prevent particle agglomeration during the dispersion of coating agents and additives used in coating processes. Various barrier coatings and colorants are used in the production of food packaging systems. Rapid growth in the food packaging industry is expected to drive the demand for dispersion agents over the forecast period.

The food industry in U.S. is witnessing intense competition with the end users such as Mondelez International, Mars Inc., and PepsiCo Inc. trying to compete with their industry rivals by introducing new products in line with the purchasing preferences of consumers. Consumer preference for aesthetically packaged food products is one of the important factors driving the demand for paper and paperboard materials. This factor is anticipated to lead to the high demand for colored paper and paperboard material used for packaging.

Several coatings and performance additives such as barrier coating, dispersants, defoamers, modifiers, colorants, and preservatives are added not only to extend the shelf life but also to provide visual appeal to the packaged product. Such additives are needed to disperse and stabilize uniformly in the coating formulations which ensures desired properties and functionality such as viscosity stability, quality, color strength, and gloss. As a result, dispersion agents represent an essential component of the coating formulation.

Due to growing importance of coatings for application in paper and paperboard, manufacturers are developing dispersing agents, such as sodium polyacrylate and vinyl acetate to meet the safety requirements of packaged food manufacturers. As a result, rise in demand for dispersants or dispersion agents is expected to provide ample growth opportunities to the manufacturers over the forecast period.

In the papermaking process, inappropriate dispersion of pigments and additives in the slurries causes agglomeration and deposition of paper fibers and pigment particles on the press rolls used in the manufacturing of paper. To troubleshoot such problems, dimethylpolysiloxane is added in certain quantities depending on the weight of the paper fiber. Dimethylpolysiloxane polymer improves the optical properties, printability, and tinting strength of paper and paperboard. This factor is anticipated to bode well for the demand for siloxanes.

Amino Methyl Propanol (AMP) is used as an additive in metalworking fluid formulations and anticorrosion agent in boiler water systems. It also finds use in personal care, and cosmetics industries on account of its low molecular weight, which enhances the preparation of different formulations. As per the American Paperboard Packaging Council, over 60% of the paperboard produced in the U.S. is consumed for food packaging. Increasing consumption of take away food and prepared meals has resulted in high demand for food contact paper and paper board for packaging.
