Demand for antifoaming agents is witnessed to have a rising trend owing to its properties that reduces and hinders the formation of foam in industrial process liquids as it has an affinity to the air-liquid surface and destabilizes the foam lamellas, which results in the rupture of the air bubbles and breakdown of surface foam. The anti-foaming agent is a chemical additive that reduces and hinders foam formation in the industrial processing of various liquids and beverages. Breweries mainly use it during the fermentation process to optimize efficiency. Also, it is used by other juice processing companies. Thus, the rapid expansion of the brewery and beverage industries is significantly impacting the value and volume of the antifoaming agents market in the forecasted period. Therefore, in 2021 Cambridge Commodities announced the launch of its, Librifoam, a silicone anti-foaming agent designed for use across the sports nutrition, health & wellbeing, and food & beverage industries.

The Asia Pacific has witnessed the fastest growth in the global market, owing to the increasing consumption of food & beverage products in the region. China and India will primarily drive the growing demand for antifoaming agents as industries such as the beverage industry, pharmaceuticals, and others are poised to undergo an unprecedented expansion rate. Also, regional players' expansion and frequent product launch further fuel the regional market for an antifoaming agent. For Instance, in 2021, BRB International (BRB), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Petronas Chemicals Group Berhad (PCG), officially opened a new blending facility in Gebeng, Kuantan. The facility would serve three product portfolios: silicone gum blend, silicone antifoam, and silicone emulsion for the Asia Pacific and Middle East African regions.
