Increasing demand for high-quality matte finishes in various end-use industries such as automotive, architectural, and industrial coatings is fueling the market growth of global matte coatings. Those industries require products that are identified as aesthetically pleasing and have functional properties that are improved, such as durability, scratch resistance, and protection from environmental factors. Matting agents are important components and are expected to contribute controlled gloss levels, precisely improving the ability and finish properties of coatings. Matting agents are one of the major contributors to the increasing adoption of this technology due to their applications in wood coatings, automotive paints, industrial finishes, and even consumer goods such as furniture and packaging.

The US Matting Agents Market Size was valued at USD 63.96 Million in 2023, with a market share of around 73% and growing over the forecast period of 2024-2032.

It is due to the stringent environmental regulations in the U.S. that are forcing to use of low VOC and green products such as waterborne coating. These formulations hold matting agents as an important component. This trend of environmentally-friendly coatings, also known as waterborne coatings, is creating the demand for matting agents that can be implemented in these sustainable solutions. With consumers and industries emphasizing sustainability, the demand for sustainable matting agents is on the rise.

Market Segmentation

By Nature

Inorganic matting agents held the largest market share, around 69.5% in 2023. It is due to higher performance characteristics, including durability, heat resistance, and uniformity with no bulk can be directly linked to the dominance of inorganic matting agents, at least the conventional ones. Silica and aluminum oxide are the most common inorganic agents, which are effective because of their rigidity and their ability to resist environmental conditions, including moisture and temperature, thus finding various applications in industrial, automotive, and architectural coatings. In addition, these agents are economical and more versatile as they can be easily introduced into solvent-borne as well as water-borne coatings.

By Material

Silica-based matting agents held the largest market share, around 58%, in 2023.  It achieves uniform and consistent matte surfaces with high durability and abrasion resistance that have made silica a leading component for demanding segments such as automotive, architectural coatings, and industrial finishes. This is one of the key factors for its wide-scale adoption, as it can reduce gloss levels without affecting the quality of the coating. Further, because of their high thermal property, silica-based matting agents can sustain for a longer period even in extreme conditions.

By Technology

Waterborne coatings held the largest market share, around 54.5% in 2023.  The increasing adoption of waterborne formulations in the automobile, construction, and architectural coatings market demands achieving superior finishes as well as adherence to stringent environmental regulations also promotes their market. Waterborne coatings are preferred in a variety of applications owing to their versatility and good performance in terms of durability, weather resistance, and aesthetics. The increasing demand for sustainable solutions has also led to steadier growth of the market share of waterborne coating in the future, establishing the dominance of waterborne coating over the matting agent market.

By Application

Architectural coatings held the largest market share, around 30.8% in 2023. The growing demand for improved functionality, aesthetic appeal, and durability of buildings, both in terms of residential and commercial use. Architectural coatings are popular for their matte finish that offers a sophisticated and modern look with a more subtle and less shiny appearance than a high gloss finish. Apart from their pleasing visual aspects, these also serve a practical purpose by enhancing dirt, weathering, and other environmental resistance, which is vital for exterior applications.
