The global market for chemical compounds that attach to metal ions and stop them from harming or interfering with other processes is known as the chelating agents market.  These substances are used to improve product efficacy and handle metal contamination in a variety of industries, including cleaning products, water treatment, pharmaceuticals, and agriculture. Furthermore, one of the key industry trends supporting the chelating agent market is growing awareness of environmental issues, especially those related to heavy metal contamination's effects on soil and water pollution.  In addition, the market is expanding as a result of the expanding use of chelating agents in the food and beverage sector to improve food quality and shelf life. The market's expansion is mostly being driven by the growing need for pollution control and metal ions.  Additionally, the market is expanding due to the growing industrial uses of chelating agents, particularly in industries like pharmaceuticals, agriculture, and water treatment. However, because of the possible toxicity and permanence of some agents, the market for chelating agents is subject to regulatory scrutiny and environmental concerns.

 

The sodium gluconate segment dominated the largest share in 2023 and is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.

Based on this grade, the global chelating agents market is divided into aminopolycarboxylic acid (APCA), sodium gluconate, organophosphonate, and others. Among these, the sodium gluconate segment dominated the largest share in 2023 and is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. The main application for sodium gluconate, a chelating agent made from gluconic acid, is as a sequestering agent in the building sector.  The market is also expanding due to the growing use of sodium gluconate, which improves workability, prevents reinforcement from corroding, and increases the strength and longevity of concrete constructions.

 

The pulp and paper segment held the highest share in 2023 and is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.

Based on the application, the global chelating agents market is divided into pulp and paper, household and industrial cleaning, water treatment, agrochemicals, personal care, and others. Among these, the pulp and paper segment held the highest share in 2023 and is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. The market is expanding as a result of the pulp and paper industry's growing use of chelating agents to eliminate metal contaminants that may degrade the final paper product's quality and brightness.  In addition, chelating compounds guarantee high-quality pulp, help remove transition metals, and improve bleaching process efficiency.

 

Asia Pacific is anticipated to hold the highest share of the global chelating agents market over the projected period.

Asia Pacific is anticipated to hold the highest share of the global chelating agents market over the projected period. This is ascribed to the growing industries of paper and pulp, wastewater treatment, agrochemicals, cleansers, and medicinal uses, among others, in major nations like China, India, Japan, and others.  Furthermore, the adoption of strict environmental legislation and a growing desire for safe and high-quality water in daily life are driving a rapid increase in wastewater treatment in the Asia-Pacific area.

 

North America is estimated to grow at the fastest CAGR of the global chelating agents market during the forecast period.  A large portion of biodegradable chelating agents are found in North America as a result of growing public concerns about environmental contamination brought on by the use of non-biodegradable agents.  This will probably increase the need for chelating agents in the above-stated areas.
