North America has historically dominated the global antifoaming agent market with 36.7% share owing to the strong presence of end-use industries such as oil & gas, paints & coatings, pharmaceuticals, and detergents in the region. Countries such as the U.S. and Canada have an advanced industrial infrastructure with wide distribution networks to support the supply of antifoaming agents. Moreover, regulatory guidelines such as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in the U.S. necessitate the use of defoamers to ensure worker safety in industries such as oil & gas. Leading antifoaming agent manufacturers have also established production facilities as well as research & development centers in the region to cater to the local demand as well as for exports.

The Asia Pacific region has been witnessing the fastest growth in the antifoaming agent market over the past few years. Rapid industrialization, growing population, and rising disposable income in countries such as China, India and other Southeast Asian countries have been driving the consumption of end-use products that require antifoaming agents. China, in particular, has emerged as a major importer of antifoaming agents to meet the demand from its powering chemicals sector. Meanwhile, India is also seeing an expansion of end-use industries like pharmaceuticals and food & beverages, which presents significant opportunities for manufacturers and suppliers of antifoaming agents to increase exports to India.
