Sizing Agents Market By Type (Natural and Synthetic), By Application (Textile & Fibre, Paper & Paperboard, Cosmetics, and Food & Beverage) and By Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa) - Trends, Analysis and Forecast till 2029

Global Sizing Agents Market accounted for USD 3.42 billion in 2020 and is estimated to be USD 5.79 billion by 2030 and is anticipated to register a CAGR of 5.4%.

Sizing is the application of adhesive material to paper or cloth to instruct certain qualities such as strength to the sheet, improved abrasion resistance, protection against chemical, mechanical or environmental degradation, and liquid resistance. Sizing agents are used to reduce porosity of fibers in order to make them suitable for printing. These chemicals increase the resist properties of fiber to the penetration of water or other fluid. Surface sizing agents are widely used to provide water-resistance and printability to paper by surface application. These agents are applied to a wide range of paper / paper board.

Constant expansion of packaging, automotive, medical, and apparel industries is the major factor increasing the demand for sizing agents, thus driving the growth of the global market. In addition, paper and textile are the two major industries, wherein sizing agents is extensively used which is boosting the target market growth. Furthermore, sizing agents also improve the internal bond and surface strength values that is preferred by the textile and paper industry which is propelling the market growth globally.

Moreover, synthetic sizing agents are applied during the dry stage of paper manufacturing to fill surface voids, thus optimizing the penetration of printing ink which increases their popularity and fuelling the growth of the target market. Oxidized starches and linear film-forming polymers such as carboxymethyl cellulose, polyvinyl alcohol, and styrene acrylic acid are some of the synthetic sizing agents. Rise in demand for such sizing agents in various industrial applications is driving the demand for the chemicals used in their production which will propel the global market growth in the forecast period. However, environmental concerns regarding the disposal of these chemicals into water is a major restraining factor of the global sizing agents market.
