Global Hydrophobing Agents Market: Overview
Hydrophobing agents which are also commonly known as hydrophobic agents are surface protection materials that minimize the water absorption and make sure the water-repellent effect on the cleaned surface. These agents reduce the penetration of water in concrete by increasing the angle of contact between the concrete surface and water. The hydrophobing agents have numerous applications in several sectors including construction, paints & coating, automobiles, and personal care.

Global Hydrophobing Agents Market: Growth Factors
The demand for hydrophobing agents is increasing at a faster pace. The rise in demand for hydrophobing agents for the coating of electronic gadgets to prevent them from moisture, chemicals, and water is propelling the growth of the global hydrophobing agents market. In addition to this, rapid growth in the personal care sector and huge investments in social & economic infrastructure are the key factors that are fostering the growth of the global market. Hydrophobing agents are been widely used in the construction sector to enhance the durability of building materials that are exposed to moisture. These agents prevent efflorescence of salts, frost damage & water absorption, protect sub-layers, maintain the appearance & functionality of the building material, extend the service life of the building as well as the period between renovation, and also save the cost of expensive raw materials. Owing to all these factors and the increase in commercial residential projects, there is a huge demand for hydrophobing agents from the construction sector which is majorly contributing to the growth of the global market. Moreover, the rapidly expanding automobile industry and the growing use of hydrophobing agents in paints & coatings as well as the healthcare sector are also the additional factors that are spurring the growth of the market. Furthermore, continuous investments in R&D for the launch of new products by the key players may create several opportunities for the growth of the global hydrophobing agents market during the forecast period. However, high initial investments and stringent regulations associated with the use of hydrophobing agents as it releases volatile organic compounds are the factors that may hamper the growth of the global hydrophobing agents market.
The Covid-19 pandemic has led to the global economic crisis. The government had to make a quick decision of complete lockdown and impose stay-at-home orders to control the spread of the virus. Due to this, the manufacturers of hydrophobing agents had to face unprecedented effects as they had to cease all their operations during the pandemic. In addition to this, the disruption of the supply chain hampered the availability of the raw material and the restriction on transport & personnel movement are also the factors that adversely affected the growth of the global hydrophobing agents market. Moreover, the decrease in demand for hydrophobing agents from its end-users has also impacted the market growth.
