The global Environmentally Friendly Water and Oil Repellent Agent Market is experiencing significant growth, valued at US$ 142.76 million in 2023 with projections to reach US$ 225.93 million by 2030 at a CAGR of 7.2%. This expansion is driven by increasing demand across textile and paper industries for sustainable, high-performance solutions that reduce environmental impact.
Environmentally friendly repellents have become critical in manufacturing processes where durability meets ecological responsibility. Unlike traditional fluorinated compounds, these innovative agents eliminate per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) while maintaining exceptional water and oil resistance. Manufacturers are rapidly adopting these solutions to comply with tightening global regulations and consumer preferences for green chemistry.
