With the booming development of the global construction industry and the increasing demand for sustainable development, defoamers in the construction industry play an indispensable role as key additives in various fields such as concrete, coatings, adhesives, etc. In the future, the development of defoamers in the construction industry will face a series of opportunities and challenges, mainly focusing on green environmental protection, efficient performance, intelligent application, multifunctional development, market competition, high-end transformation, cost optimization, and changes in user demand.

With the increasing global awareness of environmental protection, green environmental protection has become the primary trend in the development of defoamers in the construction industry. The development of non-toxic, low VOC (volatile organic compounds), and biodegradable defoamers will be the focus of future research and development. In addition, reducing energy consumption and waste emissions during the production process, and achieving a circular economy, are also directions that enterprises must consider.

Improving the stability of defoamers in extreme environments (such as high temperature, low temperature, strong acid-base environment), enhancing their compatibility in complex systems, and improving defoaming speed and durability are key to improving product performance. Performance improvement often comes with an increase in cost, and how to control costs while ensuring performance is a major challenge that enterprises need to solve.

With the rapid development of technologies such as the Internet of Things, big data, and artificial intelligence, the intelligent application of defoamers in the construction industry has become possible. By using an intelligent monitoring system, the usage of defoamers can be adjusted in real time to optimize construction efficiency and reduce waste. The difficulty of technology integration is high, requiring interdisciplinary cooperation; Meanwhile, the high cost of intelligent transformation may limit its popularity among small and medium-sized enterprises. Developing defoamers with multiple functions, such as anti-corrosion, waterproof, and thickening properties, will greatly expand their application areas and increase product added value. Strengthen brand building and enhance product differentiation competitive advantages; Through mergers and acquisitions, we aim to expand our market share and achieve economies of scale.

In summary, the future development of defoamers in the construction industry is full of opportunities and challenges. Enterprises need to keep up with the pace of the times, constantly innovate, and take green environmental protection, efficient performance, intelligence, and multifunctionality as their core competitiveness. At the same time, they need to strengthen cost control, actively respond to market competition, meet constantly changing user needs, and achieve sustainable development.
