Global Flocculants Market: Insights

The global flocculants market is valued at USD 3.5 billion in 2021 to reach a value of USD 5.1 billion by 2026, with a compound annual growth rate of 6.5%. Rising government norms and regulatory rules pertaining to waste water treatment from oil & gas industry, chemical industry, food industry, etc., and increasing water pollution levels will help the global flocculants market grow rapidly from 2021 to 2026.

In recent times, many countries have witnessed a surge in the emission of effluent from domestic as well as industrial areas, which contaminate the water bodies and cause environmental issues. To bring these measures in control, various countries around the world are investing in research activities to launch methods and processes that can save the increasing water scarcity issue and reuse the contaminated water by making it potable.

Flocculation is a chemical process where the particles form aggregates. This process combines a massive number of small particles and converts them into fewer large-sized particles. The process of flocculation demands a high molecular weight. It works as an absorbent and bridges the gaps between the newly formed large flocs. They provide increased and higher rates of filtration, which is the most desired feature of it by various end-user industries. Even if the flocculants increase the productivity, they require significantly lower costs of equipment, settlers, small-sized tanks, and other requisites needed in other processes than flocculation. Besides lower installation or utilization costs, they are extremely easy to operate and maintain and facilitates quicker results. Hence low cost efficiency due to flocculants will help the market grow rapidly.

Global Flocculants Market: By Type

Synthetic, natural, mineral are the three types of flocculants in the market. Synthetic types are extensively used in various end-user industries for their widespread application area and hence hold the largest shares in the market. This type of product has higher efficiency in the flocculation process. The reason that makes these synthetic types more demanded in the market is their effortless and bulk availability and cost-effective nature. These synthetic types also exhibit well-established flocculation mechanisms and utilizing these require no specific or complex operational processes, which makes it favorable for the end-users as the task of the skilled workforce gets eliminated. However, this synthetic type contains chemical or artificial formulations that have negative impacts in the long term.

Most of the industries prefer natural type rather than synthetic or mineral ones. These natural types are extremely harmless and are biodegradable and have no negative impacts on the environment and have no use of any artificial ingredients in their formulation. However, these types have a very short shelf life due to the biodegradable nature of the components present in them. In recent times, they are found to be extensively used in paper and pulp industries, which certainly has a significant demand in the market.

Global Flocculants Market: By End-User Industry

The market by end-user segment is divided into chemical processing, water treatment, mineral extraction, papers, food & beverage, oil & gas, others. The chemical processing industry is the most prominent end-user industry and also the fastest growing in the market. Developing Countries are adapting and installing various chemical processing industries like wastewater treatment plants, filtration, and many others. These chemical processing industries have also become strong platforms for earning profitable revenues. These industries react to numerous chemicals like polymers, petrochemicals, and other basic inorganics to produce a particular output.

Global Flocculants Market: By Region

As per the geographical analysis, the market can be classified into North America (the United States, Canada, and Mexico), Asia Pacific (India, China, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, and the Rest of Asia Pacific), Europe (Germany, United Kingdom, Italy, France, Spain, Netherlands, and Rest of Europe), Middle East & Africa (Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and Rest of the Middle East & Africa) and Central South America (Brazil, Argentina, and Rest of Central and South America).

Asia Pacific is the fastest growing region in the flocculants market. The countries in the Asia Pacific region like India, Japan, South Korea, and China are expanding their chemical industries tremendously, which is helping the regional market grow rapidly. Besides the chemical industries, these countries also have enormous contributions to greenhouse gas and other oil industries and have a significant food and beverage industry as well. Today with increasing contaminants in water flow and increasing adverse effects on the economy of industries, the awareness about the importance of utilizing flocculants to separate the large solid contaminated flocs from the fluids is increasing. Also, the production of various kinds of flocculants, especially the synthetic type, do not require skilled workers with extensive technical knowledge or a degree, and thus, many international and multinational companies from the flocculant production business invest in countries like India and China to utilize the readily available cheap labor with no specific skill sets or skilled training. Followed by the Asia Pacific, North America is also significantly growing in the flocculants market, owing to the increasing contribution from the chemical, gas, and oil industries.
