It is an effective water-reducer and dispersant for concrete and mortar. The worldwide demand for cement, which solidifies into concrete while mixed with water and minerals, is predicted to rise 48 percent by 2050, from 4.2 billion to 6.2 billion tons.
  • High Demand as a Dispersing Agent in Textile Industry- Increasing demand for Sulphonate Naphthalene Formaldehyde Market over the forecast period is driven by its utilization in the textile sector. The Indian textile sector's market value was 223 billion US dollars in 2021. This was a rise from the year prior when India's market value was 150 billion US dollars. The market is expected to grow to 220 billion dollars by 2026.
  • Increasing Utilization in Plastics & Rubber Industry- The worldwide plastics industry was expected to be worth $593 billion in 2021. Thailand, on the other hand, generated 4.83 million metric tons of organic rubber in 2021, accounting for around 35% of the worldwide natural rubber output that year. 
  • Rising Requirement in Agriculture- Sulphonate naphthalene formaldehyde is well renowned for its pest prevention and stabilizing capabilities. It is frequently used as a pesticide as it interferes with pests' senses of taste and smell, preventing them from eating crops. The agricultural sector in India is expected to grow to US$ 24 billion by 2025.

Challenges

  • Poor Adaptability among Few Types of Cement
  • Bleeding and Slump Loss Issues associated with SNF
  • The availability of alternatives- In the concrete business, sulphonated naphthalene formaldehyde is very frequently utilized as superplasticizer. Other super plasticizing compounds on marketplaces, nevertheless, include polycarboxylate ether, lignosulphonates, and sulphonated melamine product typealdehyde (SMF). A few examples are sodium and calcium lignosulphonate salts, hydroxycarboxylic acids, and carbohydrates.

Sulphonated Naphthalene Formaldehyde (SNF) Segmentation

Application (Water Reducing Agent, Wetting Agent, Dispersing Agent, Super Plasticizer)

The global sulphonated naphthalene formaldehyde (SNF) market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by application into water reducing agent, wetting agent, dispersing agent, super plasticizer, and others. Out of these, the water reducing agent segment is estimated to gain the largest market share of about ~35% in the year 2035. It has extensive water reduction characteristics and is used to minimize water consumption by 12-25% while maintaining workability, resulting in powerful concrete and lesser permeability. appropriate for moderate or high-strength concrete where a wide range of water lessening is sought. As a result, the Water Reducing Agent segment is expected to have the largest market share over the projection period.

Type (Powder, Liquid)

The global market is also segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by type into powder, and liquid. Amongst these segments, the powder segment is expected to garner a significant share of around ~65% in the year 2035. As a result of its higher cost-to-performance, the powder segment commands a substantial market proportion. This is utilized in extremely high quantities. It performs better but is more costly than liquid form. Due to its expanding demand in agriculture, plastic, and other industries, as well as its use in the construction industry, SNF powder is in substantial demand and is an important contributor to the expansion of the market in focus. Construction output is anticipated to increase by 85% to $15.5 trillion globally by 2030, with three nations - China, the United States, and India - leading in the industry and accounting for 57% of total global growth. As a result, massive development in the construction industry is projected to contribute to segmentation growth in the next decades.
