Antifog Additives Market Dynamics: Applications, Top Players, Graph, Segmentation, and Regional Insights

Posted by Jack Martin on February 1st, 2024

Antifog additives are substances added to materials, such as films, plastics, and packaging, to prevent the formation of fog or condensation on their surfaces. Fogging occurs when water vapor condenses into small droplets on a surface, creating a cloudy or hazy appearance. This phenomenon is common in applications where temperature variations cause moisture to condense on surfaces, obstructing visibility.

The report "Antifog Additives Market by Type (Glycerol Esters, Polyglycerol Esters, Sorbitan Esters of Fatty Acids, Ethoxylated Sorbitan Esters), Application (Food Packaging Films, Agricultural Films), Geography - Global Forecast to 2024" The antifog additives market is projected to grow from USD 335 million in 2019 to USD 417 million by 2024, at a CAGR of 4.4% from 2019 to 2024. Increased demand for antifog plastic films from various end-use industries such as food packaging and agriculture is one of the key factors driving the growth of the antifog additives market across the globe.

The glycerol ester segment led the global antifog additives market in terms of both value and volume during the forecast period.

Based on type, the glycerol ester segment of the antifog additives market is projected to grow at the highest CAGR from 2019 to 2024, in terms of both value and volume. Glycerol esters are obtained by combining fatty acids with glycerol. These produced fatty acid esters can be monoglycerides, diglycerides, or triglycerides. A majority of the portion of glycerol esters produced is used in the industries manufacturing food packaging and agricultural films to protect these films from fogging. Glycerol Esters are safe to use in the food packaging films applications, and also they are cheaply available; hence, they are the most used antifog additives.

The food packaging segment is projected to lead the antifog additives market in terms of both value and volume from 2019 to 2024.

Based on application, the food packaging segment of the antifog additives market is projected to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period in terms of both value and volume. Fog formation in the food packaging films is considered detrimental as it not only reduces the visibility of the food package but also has an adverse effect on aesthetic value and shelf appeal of the packaged food. It may also lead to spoiling of the packaged food product. This detrimental effect of fog formation can be prevented by using antifog food packaging films. There is an increased demand for antifog food packaging films from the food packaging industry for fresh food packaging application. This growing demand for antifog food packaging films from the food packaging industry is expected to drive the global antifog additives market during the forecast period.
