Dispersing Agents Market to Observe Strong Development by 2020
Dispersing
agent, also known as dispersant or plasticizer are active substances
as well as non surface active polymers. Dispersing agents are
generally added to a colloid to prevent clumping and to enhance
separation of particles. Plasticizers consists one or more
surfactants, which serve as chemical compounds that reduce surface
tension which in turn prevents settling or coagulation of particles.
Dispersants are used as additives in a range of products such as
petrol, paints and medicines. Theses agents help in maintaining
uniformity in mixtures and particles. Industrial grade of dispersing
agents can be broadly classified into three types: low molecular,
high molecular and polyacrylate polymer dispersants. Dispersants of
weight between 1000 to 2000g /mol are known as low molecular
dispersing agents. Whereas dispersants between 5000g/mol to
30,000g/mol are categorized as high molecular dispersing agents. Low
weight dispersants contains polar groups which help in separation of
particles. High weight dispersants are more effective than low weight
dispersants as the former uses the concept of hydrogen bonding,
dipole-dipole interaction and Van der Waals force for maximum
separation of particles. Polyurethanes and Polyacrylates are two of
the most popular high molecular dispersing agents.

Dispersing
agents are widely used compounds, which are manufactured from
different chemicals such as acrylic acid, polycarboxylate,
naphthalene, sulfonate and lignosulfonates. The composition and
manufacturing process varies for different end user industries. Some
of the key end user industries for dispersing agents include
construction, detergents, oil and gas, paints and coatings, pulp and
paper and pharmaceuticals. However, construction industry is by far
the largest consumer of dispersing agents. In the construction
industry, dispersing agents are used as an additive in concrete and
gypsum, which serve as the two most important compounds used in this
industry.
Asia
Pacific accounts for the largest market for dispersing agents.
Infrastructural development in most of the emerging Asian countries
such as China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia and Taiwan accounts for the
growth of the construction industries in this region. The
construction industry which is a key end user of dispersants is
fuelling up the demand for these compounds. The market for
dispersants is highly fragmented in terms of end user industries on
account of its wide scope of industrial applications. Supply-chain
trend of raw materials is constant with considerable numbers of raw
material suppliers.
Availability
of raw materials and lower production cost accounts for the presence
of both small scale manufacturers and international manufactures. Due
to these factors, an increasing trend in the demand for dispersing
agent is observed. Europe accounts for the second largest market for
dispersing agents. The market for dispersing agents have been
unaffected by the economic slowdown in Europe primarily owing to the
presence of large manufacturers such as BASF SE and Arkema Group.
Infrastructural development and construction activities in the east
European countries, which include most of the former USSR countries,
are also enhancing the demand for dispersing agents substantially.
North America is the third largest market for dispersants by region.
However North America is the second fastest growing market for this
compound, only behind Asia Pacific. Developed economies such as the
U.S. and Canada are the leading consumers of dispersants.
The
market for dispersing agents is still at its infancy in Rest of the
World despite the wide industrial applications of this compound. The
under-developed construction industry in Africa and most of the Latin
American countries is the primary reason behind the unexplored
dispersants market in Rest of the World. However emerging countries
such as Brazil and UAE are expected to uplift the demand for
dispersing agents in Rest of the World during the forecast period.
