process. It hampers flow of liquid and blocks transfer of oxygen from air. Therefore, defoamers such as

silicone oils are added to prevent the problem of foaming. Silicone-based defoamers are the most widely

coatings, food & beverages, and others. Growth in various application industries especially in Asia Pacific is

driving the global defoamers market. However, stringent regulatory policies are estimated to hamper the

market growth in the near future.

Silicone-based defoamers was the largest product segment, accounting for more than 40% share of the

global defoamers market in 2014. Silicone-based defoamers are considered heavy-duty defoamers and are

good at both cracking down surface foam and releasing entrapped air. Oil-based defoamers constituted the

second-largest share of the global defoamers market in 2014. Oil-based defoamers have an oil carrier; oil
