According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Highly Efficient Paint Defoamer market size was valued at US$ 1296 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 2023 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 6.5% during review period.
In 2025, global production of highly efficient paint defoamers reached approximately 0.60 million tons, with an average market price of around US$ 2,100 per ton. Industry gross profit margins generally ranged from 30% to 45%, reflecting the relatively high technical content and formulation value of defoaming additives. Global production capacity in 2025 was estimated at about 0.80 million tons, indicating sufficient supply capability to support growing downstream demand.
Highly efficient paint defoamers are functional chemical additives designed to eliminate and suppress foam during paint manufacturing, storage, and application processes. They improve coating surface quality, enhance processing efficiency, and prevent defects such as pinholes and craters caused by trapped air. These products are formulated to be compatible with various coating systems while maintaining long-term defoaming performance.
The industrial chain includes upstream silicone oils, mineral oils, polyethers, emulsifiers, and auxiliary additives. The midstream focuses on formulation design, blending, emulsification, and quality control. Downstream applications mainly involve architectural coatings, industrial coatings, automotive coatings, wood coatings, and related paint and ink systems.
The highly efficient paint defoamer market is growing steadily as global coating production expands and quality standards continue to rise. Demand is driven by increasing use of water-based and high-solid coatings, which are more prone to foam formation during processing and application. Manufacturers are focusing on developing defoamers with stronger compatibility, lower dosage requirements, and reduced surface defects. Technological progress in molecular design and emulsification processes is enabling improved performance across diverse coating systems. During 2026–2032, supported by environmental regulations, coating upgrades, and expanding construction and industrial activity, the highly efficient paint defoamer market is expected to maintain stable growth and gradual value enhancement.
