One of the most significant growth factors, driving the growth of this market is the increasing demand for organic dispersants in the real estate and construction industry. Day by day, the real estate and construction industry is rising in developing countries which is a further leading rise in this market. As per data, China is planning to exceed its railway line by 80,000 km in the coming years.
Additionally, the increasing demand for organic dispersants in the automotive industry is widely driving the growth of this market. Organic dispersants are used in the automotive industry in various ways such as it is used in painting and coating the automobile, used as lubricating oil for engines, and many more applications are there. As per the International Organization for Vehicle Motor Manufacturers, commercial vehicle production has grown 31.4% at 5731162 units in 2020 as compared to 4360475 units in 2019.
Organic Dispersants Sector: Growth Drivers and Challenges
Growth Drivers
-
Extensive Use in Automotive Industry – Dispersants are added to lubricating oils in engines to prevent the buildup of sludge and varnish on cylinder walls, keeping them clean. This demand is anticipated to improve the organic dispersants’ market share. For instance, China’s domestic production of vehicles is expected to reach around 35 million by the year 2025. In 2020, it sold over 25 million vehicles.
- Treatment of Oil Spills - In an oil spill, dispersants break down petroleum into smaller droplets and help to clear the oil from the water's surface. As per the International Tanker Owners Pollution Federation (ITOPF), approximately 10,000 tons of oil were spilled in 2021, far more than in 2020.
- Increasing Use in Paper Industry - The growing demand for good quality, cost-effective paper in developing countries such as China and India are predicted to drive the market for organic dispersants. As per the latest studies, India alone manufactures more than 12 million tons of paper, contributing to around 3% share of the world’s paper production.
- Rising Use in Agriculture- Organic dispersants increase the efficiency of biocides and pesticides used in agriculture. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, around 4.2 million tons of pesticides were used worldwide in the year 2019.
Challenges
-
Fluctuation in the Prices of Raw Materials –Starting from unexpectedly high energy prices to fluctuations in the prices of raw materials make it is tough for manufacturers to offer a quality product at a low price. As the prices of raw materials fluctuate it becomes a task for manufacturers to offer the product at a reasonable cost, they would also need to keep their margin and it might not be possible for the customer also to spend a high amount of money.

Organic Dispersant Industry - Regional Synopsis
APAC Market Statistics
North America industry is predicted to dominate majority revenue share by 2037. This can be attributed on the back of the growing demand for energy and automobiles in the region. The developing infrastructure owing to rapid urbanization and industrialization is expected to multiply the market share in the region. Around 31% of global construction companies are based in the APAC region. Additionally, rapid growth in the demand for automobiles in the Asia Pacific region is expected to drive the market in the forecast period. This is attributed to the fact that organic dispersant is widely used for painting and coating purposes in automobiles.
North American Market Forecast
Furthermore, the market in the North American region is anticipated to garner a significant share over the forecast period. This can be attributed owing to the growing investment in oil drilling activities. The organic dispersant lowers the ability to absorb oil from the ocean surface. It is sprayed on the surface to increase the range of sticky oil and break down it into small particles. As per the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, investment in oil sand projects and oil & gas production grew from USD 19 billion in 2019 to USD 21 billion in 2021.
Furthermore, the EPA's strict environmental regulations regarding the wetting agents used in the paint and coatings industry, along with a growing focus on energy efficiency in the construction industry, are expected to contribute to Europe's moderate growth over the forecast period.
