Chelating Agents Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity, and Forecast, 2018-2028 Segmented By Type (Aminopolycarboxylic Acid, Sodium Gluconate, Organophosphonate, Others), By Application (Pulp and Paper, Household and Industrial Cleaning, Water Treatment, Agrochemicals, Personal Care and Other), By Region and Competition 2018-2028

In 2021, The global production volume of paper and paperboard was approximately 415.45 million metric tons.

Chelating agents are molecules that can make multiple bonds with a single metal ion. A metal ion plus a chelating agent creates a chemical complex known as chelate. These chelating compounds play a significant role in consumer goods, agrochemicals, water treatment, domestic and industrial cleaning, pulp and paper, and cleaning products. Chelating agents are used in textiles and paper pulp bleaching processes to stabilize peroxide solution. Moreover, the chelating agent is used to remove metals from industrial effluent by adjusting pH, either with, or without the addition of sulfide, carbonate, phosphate, or carbamate.

The market for chelating agents is one of the fastest expanding markets, driven mostly by increased demand from end users in the cleaning and detergent sector. In addition to increased end-user demand for water treatment chemicals, the paper and detergent sectors are expanding quickly, which is a key element in the market's expansion. However during the anticipated era, environmental concerns brought on by toxicological risks are anticipated to limit the market expansion.

Chelating agents are presently utilized in the reprocessing of fibers into bleach wood pulp, which is then utilized to make newsprint and toilet tissue. Additionally, chelating compounds are used more regularly in commercial and domestic cleaning products to remove hard water and metal oxide deposits because of greater awareness of surface cleanliness and hygiene. Moreover, improvements in chelating technology are assisting in the creation of mobilizing agents which can help eliminate industrial waste and lessen the adverse effects of dangerous chemicals on the environment.

In addition, chelating compounds are used with other chemicals in upstream oil and gas applications for acidizing, filter cake removal, altering wettability, boosting reservoir productivity, and improving oil recovery from sandstone and carbonate reservoirs. As a result of this and the booming oil and gas development operations, firms working in the sector are being presented with lucrative growth potential. Furthermore, it is expected that the market would see expansion in the approaching years because of the major market players' rising investments in various R&D (research and development) projects and their increased focus on the synthesis of novel biodegradable agents.

Increasing Demand from Pulp and Paper Industry is Driving Market Growth

The pulp and paper sector heavily relies on chelating chemicals. Chelating chemicals like ethylenediaminetraacetic acid (EDTA) and diethyleneetriamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA) in the pulp and paper employed in the bleaching of voltage bound the action of soluble metal ions without build-up. In bleaching chains, chelating agents are used, particularly in the sodium hydrosulphate and chlorine dioxide processes. They can be developed for scaling and inking tasks. Chelating agents have a variety of uses like cleansing of water as well as the manufacturing of chlorine exfoliation.

The most substantial user of chelating agents, the paper and pulp industry, is expected to dominate the global market. Chelating agents made of oxygen-based bleaching chemicals are used in pulp bleaching sequences. The two most common chelating agents used in the pulp and paper industry, EDTA and DTPA, are mass balanced and degraded in an activated sludge plant, causing the increase in global market for chelating agents. Chelates are important for treating mechanical pulps because the lignin's heavy ions impair the effectiveness of bleaching. Also, chelates are used separately and together with sodium hydrosulphite bleaching agents in mechanical pulping.

Increasing Demand from Green Chelating Agents is Driving the Market Growth

The industry is being driven by the rising demand for green chelating products. In many countries, toxicity and environmental impact are top priorities. These factors account for the increased need for green chelating agents. The market for biodegradable products is expanding as consumer knowledge grows.

Most consumers favour eco-friendly goods. Several end users are drawn in by green chelating's favourable qualities and low nitrogen content. Market alternatives that are more environmentally friendly are acceptable. All these elements contribute to the market's outstanding demand.

More than 90% of organic compounds come from refineries that use non-renewable fossil fuels. It is important to look for replacement of conventional chelating agents due to the ongoing depletion of petroleum supplies and a shift by consumers towards greener products. To replace conventional chelates and lessen the load of nitrogen, the greener alternatives offer a good capacity for complex formation and a low nitrogen concentration. Such greener, alternative chelates are ideal for advanced environmental protection laws.

Increasing Demand from Various End Use Industries will Drive Market Growth

Chelating agents are widely used as a source of raw materials by many industries, including those in the textile, paper, agricultural, food, personal care, water treatment, and mining. Chelating agents are chemical compounds that react with metal ions to create stable, water-soluble metal complexes, increasing the metal's overall stability and propensity to form bonds with other substances. Chelating agents deliver micronutrients like manganese, zinc, iron, and copper, which are frequently used in agricultural applications.

The population of the world is projected to rise by 2 billion people in the next 30 years, from 8 billion people as of 2023 to 9.7 billion in 2050, according to the United Nations (UN). Moreover, formulations of chelating agents are a crucial raw material in the production of a variety of personal care products. Chelating substances are essential for enhancing the effectiveness, stability, and shelf life of cosmetic products.

Chelating agents are natural products with good biodegradability that are produced from renewable raw materials. The elimination and deactivation of metal ions during the pulp bleaching process is one of the main uses of chelating agents in the paper and pulp industry. Also, the demand for chelating agents is predicted to expand at a stable rate during the projection period.
