Latin America Defoamers Market 2019-2027

Market Outlook
The defoamers market by Latin America region has been estimated to depict growth and rise with a compound annual growth rate of 3.82% in revenue and 4.66% in volume during the forecasting years 2019-2027, according to a report.

Brazil, Mexico and countries in rest of Latin America have been studied for the report on Latin America’s defoamers market.

Defoamers are surface-active agents that hinder, break or prevent the foam formation caused due to gas dispersion in liquid mediums during various commercial manufacturing and industrial processes. Defoamers have low cohesion energy density and low viscosity, thus lowering the surface tension. The surface-active agents present in defoamers remain insoluble in the foaming medium to provide them with better efficiency and rapid spreading capabilities. The increasing demand for defoamers in pulp and paper applications, their growing adoption in water treatment applications, the rising demand of defoamers in paints and coatings applications, as well as their growing demand in the food & beverages industry is driving the defoamers market.

The rise of the defoamers market in Latin America can be attributed to the rising food & beverages industry in the region. Antifoaming substances (defoamers) are widely used in the F&B industry for reducing the foaming effects, improving the product quality and accelerating the level of production. These substances are mainly used to manufacture fried foods such as potato chips. Moreover, the carbonated drinks industry uses silicone-based defoamers such as polydimethylsiloxanes as an additive. Defoamers are directly used for producing fried and packaged food items in order to enhance their quality.
