The global silica-based matting agents market was valued at US$ 496.6 Mn in 2017 and is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 5.29% from 2018 to 2026, according to a new report titled ‘Silica-based Matting Agents Market: Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast, 2018–2026,’ published by Transparency Market Research (TMR) Rise in demand for silica-based matting agents from the wood coatings segment drives the global market. Asia Pacific accounts for a major share of the global silica-based matting agents market.
Rise in Consumers Preference for Low Gloss and Matt
Surface Finishes
Currently, demand for paints and coatings with low-gloss matte finish is
lesser than that for paints and coatings with glossy finish. End-users,
especially in the consumer industry such as the automotive sector, prefer
glossy finishes. Therefore, demand for paints and coatings with low-gloss matte
finishes is rising at a moderate pace. Matting agents are extensively employed
in architectural coatings due to the high preference for low-gloss finishes.
Customer preference for low-sheen, low-gloss, and matte-finish products is
rising due to the increase in awareness about the benefits of low-glare
products. Low-gloss surfaces prove to be less disturbing visually, especially
in larger spaces. Rise in demand for matte finishes and growth of end-user
industries such as automotive and construction are anticipated to fuel the
demand for matting agents in various coating formulations, especially wood and
coil coating formulations, during the forecast period.

Technological Incompatibility with UV-cured
Coatings to Restrain Market
Demand for UV-cured coatings has been increasing significantly in the
last few years. Major factors influencing the choice of coatings for any
application include cycle times, cost efficiency, and emission of volatile
organic compounds (VOCs). Currently, the matting agents technology is not
compatible with UV-cured coatings. Therefore, rise in preference for UV-cured
coatings is anticipated to hamper the silica-based matting agents market in the
next few years, unless an alternative matting technology, which is compatible
with UV-cured coatings, is developed.
Precipitated Silica Segment to Dominate Global
Silica-based Matting Agents Market
Based on type, the global silica-based matting agents market has been
segmented into precipitated silica, fumed silica, natural silica, silica gel,
perlite, and flux-calcined diatomaceous earth. The precipitated silica segment
is anticipated to dominate the silica-based matting agents market. Precipitated
silica has a unique surface structure, favorable flowability, and high
absorptivity. Its physical properties can be manipulated during its
manufacturing to suit the requirements of the application. It is extensively
employed as a matting agent in the paints & coatings industry. The segment
is estimated to account for a dominant share of the market during the forecast
period. The natural silica segment is estimated to expand at a rapid pace
during the forecast period, as it is a natural product and its environment
friendly. Demand for solvent-free coating technologies such as UV curing is
rising. Silica-based matting agents are efficient and compatible with UV cure
coatings. Therefore, the others segment is anticipated to expand at a
substantial pace during the forecast period.

Water-based Segment to Dominant Global Silica-based
Matting Agents Market
In terms of technology, the global silica-based matting agents market
has been segregated into solvent-based, water-based, and others. Water-based
silica-based matting agents are eco-friendly and are utilized in paints &
coatings applications. This type of silica-based matting agents generate
negligible VOC emissions; therefore, they are referred to as eco-friendly.
Additionally, they are compatible with water-based resins. Therefore, the
segment is estimated to expand at a rapid pace during the forecast period.

Wood Coatings Segment to Drive Global Silica-based
Matting Agents Market
In terms of application, the global silica-based matting agents market
can be divided into industrial coatings, wood coatings, architectural coatings,
automotive coatings, and others. The industrial coatings segment can be further
classified into metals, papers, plastics, printing inks, and others. The
industrial coatings segment to expected to dominate the global silica-based
matting agents market during the forecast period. Wood coatings and
architectural coatings segments are projected to propel the silica-based
matting agents market. Consumer demand for low gloss and matt finishes in these
applications is rising. This, is in turn, is driving the requirement for
matting agents.

Asia Pacific Dominates Global Silica-based Matting
Agents Market
Based on region, the global silica-based matting agents market can be
classified into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa,
and Latin America. Asia Pacific is a major consumer of matting agents,
especially silica-based matting agents. High demand for silica-based matting
agents is attributed to the huge paints and coatings industry in the region.
Europe is a key consumer of silica-based matting agents in the world. Demand
for silica-based matting agents is anticipated to rise at a sluggish pace in
Europe during the forecast period. North America constitutes a significant
share of the global silica-based matting agents demand. Demand these agents is
anticipated to rise at a moderate pace between 2018 and 2026. The market in
Latin America and Middle East & Africa is anticipated to expand at a
considerable pace and create lucrative opportunities in the silica-based
matting agents market during the forecast period.
Low Degree of Competition among Market Players
