By 2023, the size of the global chelating agents market was estimated to be US$ 7,360.9 million. From 2023 to 2033, a CAGR of 5.7% is anticipated. By the end of 2033, it is set to surpass a valuation of US$ 12,758.3 million. In 2022, the market experienced a 4.5% yearly growth.
Increasing need for clean & safe water, stringent environmental regulations, and expanding industrial sector are driving demand for chelating agents in water treatment activities. These agents provide effective solutions for removing heavy metals, preventing scale formation, and ensuring compliance with water quality standards.
Chelating agents are effective in removing heavy metals from water. With increasing industrialization and urbanization, water sources are becoming contaminated with heavy metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic.
Heavy metals pose significant health risks to humans and the environment. Chelating agents hence form stable complexes with these metals, allowing them to be easily removed from water during the treatment process.

Chelating agents are used to prevent the formation of scale and deposits in water treatment systems. As water is treated and circulated through pipes, boilers, and cooling towers, minerals and salts can precipitate and form scale, reducing the efficiency of these systems.
Chelating agents bind to these minerals and prevent them from forming scale, thereby improving the performance and lifespan of water treatment equipment. There has recently been rapidly rising global awareness about the importance of clean water and its impact on human health, there is an increased demand for effective water treatment solutions.
Chelating agents are recognized as valuable tools in ensuring water quality by removing impurities, heavy metals, and other harmful substances.
The industrial sector, including manufacturing, mining, and energy production, requires significant amounts of water for various processes. However, these activities often generate wastewater containing pollutants and metals. To reduce generation of pollutants, demand for chelating agents is anticipated to expand by 2033.
