Global Sizing Agents Market 2018-2023 - Focus on Textile & Fiber, Paper & Paperboard, Cosmetics and Food & Beverage Industries

Dublin, Dec. 05, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Sizing Agents Market by Type (Natural and Synthetic), Application (Textile & Fiber, Paper & Paperboard, Cosmetics, Food & Beverage), And Region (Asia Pacific, Europe, North America, South America, Middle East & Africa) - Global Forecast to 2023" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The market size of sizing agents is estimated at USD 3,083.3 million in 2018 and is projected to reach USD 4,013.3 million by 2023.

Sizing is the application of adhesive material to paper or cloth to impart certain qualities such as strength to the sheet; improved abrasion resistance & dimensional stability; controlled abrasive qualities to protect against chemical, mechanical or environmental degradation, and liquid resistance.

Paper and textile are the two major industries, where sizing is performed. The two stages of sizing performed in paper manufacturing are internal sizing and surface sizing. Internal sizing agents are applied during the wet stage of paper manufacturing. They prepare the paper for print sharpness by controlling the penetration of liquids. They also improve the surface strength and internal bond values. Surface sizing agents are applied during the dry stage of paper manufacturing to fill surface voids, thus optimizing the penetration of printing ink. Oxidized starches; linear film-forming polymers such as carboxymethyl cellulose, polyvinyl alcohol; and styrene acrylic acid are some surface sizing agents.

The market is projected to register a CAGR of 5.4%, in terms of value, during the forecast period. Synthetics is the fastest-growing type of sizing agents, estimated to account for a share of 55.3%, in terms of value, of the overall market in 2018. The market in this segment is projected to register a CAGR of 5.8% during the forecast period.

Textile & fiber is projected to be the fastest-growing application of sizing agents registering a CAGR of 5.7%, in terms of value, during the forecast period. The major driver of the sizing agents market is the increase in their demand in various industrial applications such as paper & paperboard, textiles, paints & coatings, fluid drilling, and cosmetics. Increase in the use of sizing agents in the paper and textile industries in emerging economies is expected to drive the consumption of sizing agents. On the other hand, increasing environmental concerns is one of the restrains for the sizing agents market.

The major companies operating in the sizing agents market are BASF (Germany), Aries Chemical (US), Pulcra Chemicals (Germany), Kemira OYJ (Finland), Solenis (US), Omnova Solutions (US), Buckman Laboratories (US), Seiko PMC Corporation (Japan), Evonik (Germany), and Bodo Moller Chemie (Germany).

The companies have adopted various strategies such as expansions between 2015 and 2018. The major players in the market are investing heavily in expanding their plant capacities in the developing regions to increase their production and meet the growing demand for sizing agents in emerging economies.
