Also referred to as Thickeners or Viscosifiers, Rheology
Modifiers are ever-present in most products to provide specific functionality
to the product. They are the key components in paints & coatings as they
reduce dripping and spattering of fluid during roller or brush application. It
provides high viscosity at low shear rates that is useful during drilling
high-angle and horizontal wells and it also prevents sag and settling of
weighting material. Rheological Properties prevent sedimentation of pigments within
a formulation and ensure consistency and durability of the fluid.
Due to the usage of these coatings in wide range of
industries, the Global RheologyModifiers Market is set to generate revenue of a whopping $2.3 Billion by 2020.
Increasing usage of thickeners in Paints and Coatings
Industry is the major driving force for the increase in the Rheology Modifiers
Market.
On the contrary, the restricting factor for this market is
the decline in consumption of Ink across the world. Increasing usage of
electronic media, internet, mobile phones and other digital devices has reduced
the use of published books, printed newspapers, catalogues etc. thus, a low
need of ink, which has in return hampered the growth of print media. The booming construction industries in the emerging
economies such as, Asia-Pacific and Latin America has led to the increased
demand for Paint & Coatings and Adhesives & Sealants Segment.
Global demand for Paint Additives has grown steadily over the last
decade, increasing from 843,190 tons in 2000 to 1,007,590 tons in 2010. Much of
this increase in demand has come from the Asia-Pacific region and this trend is
expected to continue in the near future, with Asia-Pacific expected to account
for 43.2% of the global demand for paint additives in 2016. The global demand
for Additives is expected to reach 1,331,700 tons in 2016.
