The Southeast Asia Liquid Sandpaper market size was valued at US$ 52.8 million in 2024 and is projected to reach US$ 72.5 million by 2030, at a CAGR of 5.4% during the forecast period 2024-2030. This growth trajectory reflects the region’s accelerating adoption of surface preparation solutions that combine efficiency with environmental considerations.
Liquid sandpaper, known chemically as deglosser, has become indispensable for professionals and DIY enthusiasts alike. Its ability to chemically etch surfaces without generating dust particles addresses both workplace safety concerns and the growing demand for convenient home improvement solutions. The technology behind these formulations has evolved significantly, with manufacturers now offering products that can prepare surfaces up to 40% faster than traditional mechanical sanding methods.

Market Overview & Regional Analysis
Southeast Asia’s construction boom and home renovation surge position liquid sandpaper as a critical component in surface preparation. Countries like Thailand and Malaysia lead in adoption due to their robust furniture manufacturing sectors, where the product’s time-saving benefits directly impact production efficiency. Indonesia follows closely, with its expanding middle class driving DIY home improvement trends.
Vietnam’s market growth outpaces regional averages at 6.8% CAGR, fueled by foreign direct investment in furniture production facilities. The Philippines shows particular strength in the retail segment, where consumer education initiatives by manufacturers have successfully converted traditional sandpaper users. Singapore’s stringent VOC regulations have inadvertently accelerated innovation, with local formulators developing low-emission products now exported throughout the region.
Key Market Drivers and Opportunities
Three major forces propel the liquid sandpaper market: the DIY movement’s explosive growth, environmental regulations reducing mechanical sanding, and technological advancements in formulation chemistry. The regional DIY market’s 12% annual growth directly translates to increased demand for user-friendly products like liquid sandpaper.
Manufacturers identified significant opportunities in developing specialized formulations for emerging applications. Automotive refinishing accounts for 18% of premium product sales, while industrial maintenance applications show 22% year-on-year growth. The development of bio-based deglossing agents presents another promising avenue, though commercial viability remains challenging at current price points.
Challenges & Restraints
While the market shows strong potential, several barriers require attention. Consumer education remains paramount—many end users still question the efficacy of chemical versus mechanical preparation. Price sensitivity in developing markets limits premium product penetration, with economy-grade products commanding 68% of volume sales.
Regulatory hurdles also persist. Malaysia’s recent chemical import restrictions created logistical challenges, while Thailand’s evolving VOC standards force continuous product reformulation. The lack of standardized testing protocols across ASEAN countries further complicates market entry strategies for international brands.
