Opacifiers Market Insights
Opacifiers Market is projected to be worth USD 23.1 Billion by 2027, registering a CAGR of 4.8% during the forecast period (2020–2027).
Key Players
The list of critical manufacturers effective in the global opacifiers market are DowDuPont (US), Arkema (France), Ashland (US), TAYCA (Japan), The Chemours Company (US), Tronox Limited (US), KRONOS Worldwide, Inc. (US), CRISTAL (Saudi Arabia), Alkane Resources Ltd (Australia), En-Tech Polymer.Co., Ltd (South Korea), and Venator Materials PLC (UK)
Opacifiers are considered as additives that are added to transparent objects to make them opaque. With offering a more lavish appearance and increase the visual viscosity of products, the opacifiers market overview are surfactant-based formulations. The procedure of conversion of a transparent object into opaque one is practiced with the help of three processes such as thermal expansion, crystallization, and suspended micro-bubbles. Apart from these, tin oxide and zircon compounds are considered to be as two common opacifiers.
Market Drivers & Trends
The global opacifiers market is mainly driven by factors such as high demand for applications such as paints & coatings, plastics, and personal care. Considering the high demand for paints & coatings in major industries such as construction, automotive, aerospace, electronics, and shipbuilding are deemed to be one of the major factors driving the global opacifiers market exponentially.
