Flocculants Market

Global Flocculants Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report, By Type (Synthetic Flocculants and Natural Flocculants), By End-User (Municipalities, Oil & Gas, Food & Beverages, Metal & Mining, and Others), and Forecast 2019-2025
    Update Available - Forecast 2024-2030   

Published: Jul 2023 | Report Code: | Category : Speciality Chemicals | Delivery Format: /

The global flocculants market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 4.9% during the forecast period. The market growth is attributed to the increasing application in surface and physical chemistry and rising demand for water treatment. Flocculants are widely used in water treatment plants as well as in water purifiers. In addition, these find application in the treatment of industrial wastewater. The process of water treatment includes grates, sedimentation, granular filtration, coagulation, flocculation, and disinfection. Therefore, increasing demand for flocculants in water treatment plants spurs the growth of the global flocculants market.

Additionally, power generation plants necessarily require water for day-to-day operations. The wastewater produced from this industry comprises significant levels of toxic metal impurities, including arsenic, mercury, lead, chromium, cadmium, and others, which, if not treated properly, may cause damage to the environment. This will increase the demand for water treatment chemicals such as flocculants in the industry. This, in turn, will drive the growth of the global flocculants industry.

Flocculants also find applications in the food & beverages industry for the treatment of wastewater. Further, in the mining industry, these are used for the removal of red muds from minerals during the treatment process. Increasing demand for specific formulations in emerging economies tends to create ample opportunity for the growth of the industry. However, the presence of alternative treatment technologies and rising demand for eco-friendly products may restrict the growth of the market.

Segmental Outlook    

The global flocculants market is segmented on the basis of type and end-user. Based on type, the market is bifurcated into synthetic flocculants and natural flocculants. Synthetic flocculants are made from polyacrylamides. The different types of synthetic include polyamines, polyethylene-oxide, polyethylene-imines, sulfonated compounds, and polyamides amines. Based on end-user, the market is segmented into municipalities, oil & gas, food & beverage, metal & mining, and others.

Asia-Pacific to Contribute a Significant Share in the Flocculants Market 

Asia-Pacific is expected to have a prominent share in the global market owing to increasing demand from expanding chemical industries. Rising industrial output with rapid economic growth tends to drive the demand for flocculants in various industries such as power generation, oil & gas and food & beverages. In developing countries such as India and China, the availability of cost-effective labor is attracting most multinational companies to invest and established plant unit. 

The emerging countries have rapid economic growth that is supported through large scale industrialization, the establishment of new power projects, expansion of housing projects and construction projects. Therefore, the economic growth in developing countries has enabled in enhancing the lifestyle of the people. Moreover, the growth has resulted in a large scale of pollutants in water bodies. Owing to the rising concern of water pollution, the need for water treatment is increasing, which in turn is increasing the demand for flocculants.
