A
new market intelligence study by Transparency Market Research
presents a detailed overview of the global sizing and thickening
agents market. The report is titled “Sizing & Thickening Agents
Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and
Forecast 2015 – 2023.” The market research study provides a
pinpoint analysis of the changing competitive dynamics and a
perspective on the various growth drivers and challenges faced by the
market, and assesses the global
sizing and thickening agents market for the period from 2015 to
2023.
Sizing
agents are commonly used on fibers to give them certain desired
qualities. Sizing agents are used to reduce the porosity of fibers,
thereby making them suitable for printing. Sizing agents increase the
resistance of the fiber against the penetration of water or other
fluids. Sizing agents also find applications in the paper industry.
Sizing agents, when used in the manufacturing process of paper,
increase its printability. The ink-holding capacity of the paper is
increased with the use of sizing agents. The textile industry makes
extensive use of sizing agents to improve the quality of yarn and
prevent breaking of the fibers.
Sizing
agents are broadly classified into natural and synthetic sizing
agents, depending upon the raw material used for their manufacturing.
They are also categorized into surface sizing agents and internal
sizing agents, wherein styrene acrylic acid (SAA), styrene maleic
anhydride (SMA), styrene acrylic emulsion (SAE), ethylene acrylic
acid (EAA), gelatin, and polyurethane (PUR) are some of the surface
sizing agents generally used and alkyl ketene dimer (AKD), alkyl
succinic anhydride (ASA), and rosin are some of the popular internal
sizing agents.
Thickening
agents such as starch, silica, cellulose, and clay are used to
increase the viscosity of a fluid without bringing about any change
in the properties of the liquid. Thickening agents are extensively
used in the food and beverages industry to increase the viscosity or
thickness of soups and sauces without changing their taste.
Thickening agents also work as gelling agents and are thus used in
jellies, jams, and desserts. They are used as additives in the
production of inks and paints and act as stabilizers for emulsion in
cosmetics and many other personal hygiene products. Thickening agents
are classified into hydrocolloid and mineral thickening agents.

The
global sizing and thickening agents market is segmented on the basis
of geography into North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia Pacific,
and the Middle East and Africa. While Asia Pacific is the fastest
growing market for sizing and thickening agents, Europe and North
America are exhibiting the highest demand. The food and beverages
industry is the largest consumer of sizing and thickening agents in
North America and Europe. Moreover, the cosmetics and paints
manufacturing industries are widespread in Europe, and therefore so
is the demand for thickening agents. In Asia Pacific and emerging
nations of Latin America, the production of sizing and thickening
agents has increased significantly due to low manufacturing cost and
trade linearization.
Key
manufacturers of sizing and thickening agents profiled in the report
are: Cargill Incorporated, BASF SE, CP Kelco, AKZO Nobel N.V, DuPont,
The Dow Chemical Company, and Ashland.
