Opaque Polymers Market Size And Forecast
Opaque Polymers Market size was valued at USD 1.85 Billion in 2020 and is projected to reach USD 3.75 Billion by 2028, growing at a CAGR of 10.63% from 2021 to 2028.
Paints and coatings formulators are viewing the application of opaque polymers as an opportunity to lower the consumption of TiO2 and to reduce the cost of all types of water-based and solvent-based paints and coatings. Opaque polymers are non-film forming aqueous emulsion polymers which aid in reducing the raw material costs. Therefore the rising prices of titanium dioxide have raised the demand for opaque polymers in the market. The Global Opaque Polymers Market report provides a holistic evaluation of the market. The report offers a comprehensive analysis of key segments, trends, drivers, restraints, competitive landscape, and factors that are playing a substantial role in the market.

Global Opaque Polymers Market Definition
Opaque polymers are hollow sphere pigments and are used as additives to help paints and coatings formulations deliver opacity, gloss, brightness, and light-scattering effects. The paints and coatings industry makes use of titanium dioxide (TiO2). However, due to its low observed return and high formulation cost, industries are now eyeing opaque polymers as a good paint additive. Opaque polymers are engineered to improve the efficiency of titanium dioxide (TiO2). Opaque polymer particles have a relatively low specific surface area compared to equivalent volumes of titanium dioxide and therefore, help in filling up and hiding the gaps in paints and coatings.
Opaque polymers are used in the formulations of both water-based as well as solvent-based paints and coatings. Opaque polymers in water-based paints and coatings act as emulsion polymers containing a water-filled void. As the paint dries, the water in the void diffuses through the polymer shell and leaves an air void. Due to the difference in refractive index between air and the surrounding polymer, light is effectively scattered, contributing to film opacity. Whereas on the other hand, the introduction of opaque polymer for solvent-borne alkyds (OPSB) can help to compensate for the loss of hiding or opacity resulting from the TiO2 reduction.

Global Opaque Polymers Market Overview
The general economic environment along with strict raw material supplies in the paint industry has encouraged the producers to search for cost-effective alternative raw materials that will provide and deliver similar performance in their formulations. Paints and coatings formulators are viewing the application of opaque polymers as an opportunity to lower the consumption of TiO2 and to reduce the cost of all types of water-based and solvent-based paints and coatings. Opaque polymers are non-film forming aqueous emulsion polymers which aid in reducing the raw material costs. Therefore the rising prices of titanium dioxide have raised the demand for opaque polymers in the market.
Opaque polymers can be added in paints and coatings for both interior and exterior applications and rising urbanization and industrialization along with growing middle-income populations have improved the number of residential and commercial infrastructure projects. Therefore, the rise in construction activities is another major driving factor of the market. However, opaque polymers are found to have lower hiding performance as compared to TiO2 and it might affect the market growth.
