Strategic Insights
Sizing Agents Market Growth Drivers- Rising demand for sizing agents in textile manufacturing: The application of sizing agents has been on the increase to the extent that they are regarded as the second most consumed product in the manufacturing of fabrics. Since there is a rise in the production of textiles worldwide due to the increase in the demand for fabrics, clothing, and domestic textiles, the demand for effective sizing agents also increases. This is because they also assist in the weaving process by minimizing the breakage of the yarn and optimizing the fabric, resulting in unavoidable use in the textile industry.
- Growth of paper and packaging industry: The paper and packaging industry is another prominent factor responsible for the revenue growth of the sizing agents market. Sizing agents are introduced when making paper to reduce water absorption, enhance print quality, and require a smooth surface. As the trend for climate-friendly packaging increases with more people engaging in e-commerce, the demand for quality papers has escalated. This is even more evident when one considers that some packaging materials are environmentally friendly and thus need the application of sizing agents to improve their use.
- Demand from paint and coatings manufacturers: Sizing agents are also used in the paints and coatings business to increase the adhesion and durability of the coatings and the finish quality. This is because as the population grows and so do construction and forecast expansion activities, the demand for performance-based coatings is likely to increase. For this reason, sizing agents are essential for the formulation of paints and coatings that have to perform to high expectations, hence their need in this market segment.
- Biodegradable sizing agents: There is a rising inclination to introduce new sizing agents, also known as eco-friendly sizing agents, whose focus is on minimal environmental impact. Manufacturers are more actively producing biodegradable and non-toxic sizing agents to meet the consumer demand for sustainable products. This change is can be attributed to the growing determination of consumers to purchase green products and the increasing laws prohibiting the use of such toxic chemicals in production processes.
- Innovations in formulation technologies: Development of new formulation technologies is improving the efficiency and performance of sizing agents. New materials developed within polymer chemistry and nanotechnology are responsible for next-generation sizing agents with more desirable properties, such as enhanced water resistance and improved adhesion. Technological progress has allowed manufacturers to develop more advanced sizing agents tailored to various industries.
- Strategic initiatives by key players: More suppliers and manufacturers in the market for sizing agents seek to enter strategic alliances and collaborations to improve their products and capabilities. These partnerships often entail conducting joint R&D projects to devise new sizing products for particular end uses. Companies will incorporate some of the strengths of others in their works and increase the rate of the innovation process about new offerings and improving the existing ones relative to the competitors of the firms in that market.
- Custom solutions: There is an increasing space for manufacturers to create specific sizing agents for particular uses and industrial needs. Companies can offer value-added services by providing specialized formulations for various industries like textiles, paper, and coatings. This approach has the potential to increase the customer base. Such variations may include viscosity, chemical composition, and performance characteristics.
- Growing demand from fast growing emerging economies: Sizing agents market offers significant potential for development in new markets, especially in Asia-Pacific and Latin America. With rapid industrialization and urbanization, the demand for textiles, paper and paper products, and coatings is expected to increase. This increase in demand can be taken advantage of by setting up production plants in these regions and working with local companies within those particular markets.
- Demand from niche sectors: Application of sizing agents has prospects for several industries that are not traditional users, such as construction, automotive, and others. Using sizing agents to improve composites, adhesives, and sealants is possible. In doing so, the manufacturers can broaden the scope of their goods to include those with high performance that are in demand in the economy.

The company level information helps us in deriving the base number as well as in forecasting the market size.
- 3.4 Developing Base Number:
Aggregation of sales statistics (2020-2022) and macro-economic factor, and other secondary and primary research insights are utilized to arrive at base number and related market shares for 2022. The data gaps are identified in this step and relevant market data is analyzed, collected from paid primary interviews or databases. On finalizing the base year market size, forecasts are developed on the basis of macro-economic, industry and market growth factors and company level analysis.
- Data Triangulation and Final Review:
The market findings and base year market size calculations are validated from supply as well as demand side. Demand side validations are based on macro-economic factor analysis and benchmarks for respective regions and countries. In case of supply side validations, revenues of major companies are estimated (in case not available) based on industry benchmark, approximate number of employees, product portfolio, and primary interviews revenues are gathered. Further revenue from target product/service segment is assessed to avoid overshooting of market statistics. In case of heavy deviations between supply and demand side values, all thes steps are repeated to achieve synchronization.
We follow an iterative model, wherein we share our research findings with Subject Matter Experts (SME’s) and Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) until consensus view of the market is not formulated – this model negates any drastic deviation in the opinions of experts. Only validated and universally acceptable research findings are quoted in our reports.
We have important check points that we use to validate our research findings – which we call – data triangulation, where we validate the information, we generate from secondary sources with primary interviews and then we re-validate with our internal data bases and Subject matter experts. This comprehensive model enables us to deliver high quality, reliable data in shortest possible time.
