According to the latest study titled ‘Hydrophobing Agents Market Size By Product (Metallic Stearates {Zinc, Aluminum, Calcium and Magnesium}, Hydrophobic Polymers, Silicone Polymers, Fatty Acid Polymers), By Application (Building & Construction {Plastering, Plaster and Fiber boards, Concretes}, Paints & Coatings, Personal Care, and Inks) Industry Analysis Report, Regional Outlook, Growth Potential, Competitive Market Share & Forecast, 2019 – 2026’ available at MarketStudyReport.com, the global hydrophobing agents market is anticipated to accrue US $1.6 billion by the year 2026.
Escalating construction industry, in tandem with increasing adoption of hydrophobing agents to resist moisture absorption by exteriors walls and wooden surfaces are the main factors propelling the growth of hydrophobing agents market. The product is extensively used in external surface coatings as it improves the contact angle and lowers water penetration. It prevents wood decay, while also delivering shine and smoothness to the surface. Hydrophobing agents protect cemented surfaces from color fading, efflorescence, and hazing out. Strict government regulation towards the adoption of these agents across building & construction industry is augmenting the hydrophobing agents market outlook.
Based on product type, silicone based hydrophobing agents market held around 30% share in 2018, pertaining to their high viscosity and reactivity towards silanol-rich and inorganic surfaces. The agent ensures durability and inhibits reinforcing steel corrosion by imparting chemical and water resistance. Moreover, silicone hydrophobing agents are used in personal care products as it creates a protective barrier over skin to resist air and water.
