Chelating Agent Market by Type (Aminopolycarboxylate, Phosphate & Phosphonate, Biodegradable), Application (Cleaner, Water Treatment, Pulp & Paper, Agrochemical, Personal care, Pharmaceutical, Food & Beverage), & Geography - Global Trend & Forecast to 201
NEW YORK, Oct. 6, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Chelating agents are of utmost importance in water treatment and cleaners & detergents industries. They bind and remove metal ions while at the same time play other significant roles in the process. Textiles and pulp & paper industries require chelants as bleaching agents. The growth of these industries drive the market for chelating agents, making them a very important functional ingredient in their manufacturing process. The rising demand of industrial chemicals in various industries has accelerated the growth of chelating agents. Chelating agents form a stable covalent bond with unstable metal ions. Unstable metal ions pose a threat to canned food and beverage products. Chelating agents, thus, prevents them from reacting with the products thereby maintaining its quality.
The report includes the market size in terms of both, value ($million) and volume (KT). The chelating agents market has been segmented on the basis of types, applications, and various key regions. The chelating agents market, by type, is further segmented into aminopolycarboxylates, phosphates & phosphonates, biodegradable agents, and others. The market has also been segmented on the basis of various regions such as North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World (RoW), and segmented further on the basis of their key countries.
In 2013, the market for chelating agents exceeded $3 billion due to the growing industrialization and development in all verticals . The Asia-Pacific region captured the largest market share as the region was observed to have a larger number of industries that use chelating agents.
The report provides both, qualitative and quantitative analyses of the chelating agents market. The report includes the market dynamics, trends, competitive strategies preferred by the key market players, the driving factors that boosted the growth of the chelating agents market, and the restraints of the market.
