Anti-Slip Additives Market Size

Anti-Slip Additives Market was valued at around USD 449.5 million in 2023 and is anticipated to register a CAGR of over 5.2% between 2024 and 2032. Anti-slip additives are chemicals applied to surfaces, coatings, and materials to improve grip and prevent slips. These additives generate friction between the surface and contact areas, and thus minimize the chances of accidents, especially on wet or slippery surfaces. Such anti-slip additives include silica, rubber particles, and textured surfaces.

The anti-slip additives market is expected to witness a favorable growth platform, propelled by rising safety awareness, and its wide application in various end use industries. There is a surge in demand for anti-slip additives in various industries such as construction, automotive, and healthcare to ensure safety standards. Moreover, the rise in the number of construction projects and increase in focus on workplace safety are contributing to market expansion. With the rise in global demand for slip-resistant solutions, the market is expected to have a significant expansion in the forecast timeframe.

The global anti-slip additives industry will be drive by various significant factors such as the rise in the application of anti-slip additives in industrial flooring and the growing demand from the marine industry which will lead to the considerable growth in the market. In industries, there is a necessity for effective slip-resistance to ensure the safety standards in the workplace. Additionally, the marine sector depends heavily on anti-slip coatings and materials to mitigate accidents at sea and on offshore installations. Consumption of anti-slip additives in these end-use industries is expected to propel the growth of the market.

However, there are some pitfalls which may pose a barrier to market expansion. Rise in cutthroat competition from various cost-effective substitutes may affect the growth of the market. Moreover, various countries have different slip-resistance testing standards which make it difficult for the manufacturers to produce those type of products. Thus, manufacturers should adopt various strategies to mitigate the pitfalls.
