The global matting agents market size is expected to reach USD 710.38 million by 2032, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “Matting Agents Market Share, Size, Trends, Industry Analysis Report, By Material (Silica, Thermoplastic, Wax-based, and Others); By Source; By Technology; By Application; By Region; Segment Forecast, 2024 - 2032” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth

Growing demand for matte finishes in various industries such as construction, automotive and consumer electronics is driving the market. Moreover, the benefits associated with the use of matte finishes including scratch resistance, minimal maintenance, and less reflection of light is contributing to the growth market. For instance, Deuteron GmbH’s matting agents provide various benefits such as low influence on the viscosity, high resistance to scratch & polish, and low dust tendency.

Moreover, the matte finish cars is one of the major trends in the automotive industry owing to which a large number of automobile manufacturers are focused towards the production of matte finish cars. For instance, according to a news published by the Times of India (TOI) in January 2023, Maruti Suzuki showcased a new matte black-colored Grand Vitara at Auto Expo 2023.

The expansion of the market is also driven by the growth of building and construction sector and growing need for matte finishes in construction industry. Matte finishes provides advantages such as resistance to corrosion, concealment of scratches & blemishes, and temperature resistance. Such benefits coupled with the constantly growing construction sector increases the demand for matting agents. For instance, according to a blog by DANA STEEL, the Matte Finish Pre-painted Galvanized Iron (PPGI) can withstand the harsh and climatic conditions of Africa, thereby spurring the demand for matting agents from African construction industry.

The growing preference for the matte finish products by the buyers is encouraging the manufacturers from many industries to launch matte-based products. This is stimulating the matting agent manufacturers to launch new products and increase their production capacities to meet the growing demand from consumers. For instance, in October 2022, Evonik Industries expanded production of its ACEMATT matting agents at its facility in Taiwan. Such strategic initiatives to fulfil the increased demand of matting agents will strengthen the market growth in the upcoming years.
