The Global Water Repellant Agent Market Size Astonishing Growth, Latest Technology of Top Key Vendors That Will Change the Current Situation

 The water repellant agent market is witnessing the rising demand, globally. Extensive demand for water-repellant coatings from some of the burgeoning industries, including construction, automobile, furniture & upholstery, leather, and medical products, is a key driving force pushing the market growth. Moreover, rising economic conditions and rapid urbanizations, especially in developing regions, have escalated this market on a global platform.

Market Research Future (MRFR), in its recently published study report, asserts that the global water repellant agent market size is estimated to garner exponential accruals by 2030. MRFR also confirms that the market would register a modest CAGR during the forecasted period (2020- 2030). Increasing numbers of textile manufacturing units in emerging markets alongside the augmenting demand for waterproof automotive components provide a massive impetus to the growth of the market.

Additionally, increasing construction & infrastructure development activities globally are impacting market growth positively. Despite exhibiting powerful growth prospects, the market still confronts some challenges due to the production process of that emit good degrees of volatile organic compounds (VOC) in the environment. Due to the growing ecological concerns, various government bodies are imposing stringent regulations on the usages of harmful chemicals while developing water repellant agents.

Also, end-use industries of these materials demand low-cost products, which challenges the manufacturers further, creating a huge demand-supply gap. On the other hand, there are several new researches going on to develop sustainable green technology to be used during production.

Manufacturers have already adopted some of the innovative solutions and are investing heavily in developing eco-friendly, bio-based agents that can offer an unparalleled combination of properties compared to conventional water-repelling agents.

However, this increases the overall price of these agents, increasing their manufacturing cost. Nevertheless, technological proceedings expected in the nearing future would support the growth of the market, bringing about cost-effective solutions.

August 30, 2019 — Indian Institute of Technology (IIT Hyderabad, India), a public engineering and research institution, announced the development of a waterproof coat using fly ash, which will help to protect heritage buildings. This unique material with excellent water-repelling quality is now being translated into a special paint or coat utilizing fly ash and few chemicals.

In addition to environmentally hazardous substances produced by thermal power stations, the waterproof material will help protect heritage and archaeological structures from damage by rain and moisture in the atmosphere. It can also be used in information technology (IT), communications, textile, shipping, and other industries as a waterproofing agent. According to researchers, the material can also be used as a paint on the hull of ships, to make antennae anti-sticking and self-cleaning coating for automobiles. The new material is cheaper when compared with similar substances available in the market.
