Product Code: A11581
According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, "Antiscalants/Scale Inhibitors Market," The antiscalants/scale inhibitors market was valued at $3.5 billion in 2022, and is estimated to reach $5.5 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 4.7% from 2023 to 2032.
Antiscalants are used to prevent the formation of mineral scales in industrial water systems such as boilers and cooling towers. Minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and silica are deposited on surfaces causing fouling, corrosion, and decreased efficiency. Antiscalants inhibit crystal growth and aggregation and are classified according to their chemical composition, which includes carboxylates, sulfonates, phosphonates, fluorides, and others. They accomplish this by either interfering with crystal growth or binding to mineral ions in the water which reduce the scale formation.
The increase in demand for oil and gas led to its production and moving to more challenging environments where the water used in the processes becomes more saline and contains higher levels of scaling minerals. This makes scaling more likely and antiscalants more necessary. Antiscalants are a cost-effective solution for preventing scale formation and reducing the need for more expensive and time-consuming cleaning methods. Antiscalants also help to extend the life of equipment, reduce maintenance and replacement costs, improve production efficiency, and reduce downtime. Antiscalants inhibit the growth and precipitation of mineral deposits on surfaces that come into contact with water, which helps to prevent the formation of scale. They achieve this by either sequestering the mineral ions, which prevents them from reacting and forming scale or by changing the crystal structure of the minerals, which makes it more difficult for them to form scale. It is used in reverse osmosis (RO) membrane systems, cooling water treatment, desalination, oil and gas production, and industrial boilers.All these factors drive the growth of the antiscalants market.
However, antiscalants may not be effective against all types of scales or deposits and their effectiveness can be limited in high-temperature applications. Compatibility issues with other chemicals in water treatment systems can also reduce their effectiveness or cause other problems. Additionally, some antiscalants may have negative environmental impacts if not handled or disposed of properly, and residual chemicals may remain in the water after treatment. These factors hinder the growth of the antiscalants market.
The antiscalants market analysis is segmented on the basis of type, method, end-use industry, and region.
By type, the market is segmented into carboxylate, sulfonates, phosphonates, fluorides, and others. The sulfonates segment is anticipated to grow at the fastest CAGR of 5.1% during the forecast period. The rise in the need for sustainable water treatment solutions, increase in industrialization, and urbanization in emerging economies such as China and India are driving the demand for phosphonates antiscalants. The inadequate access to water and sanitation results in water-borne illnesses which drive the growth of phosphonates antiscalants in the desalination process.
By method, the market is categorized into threshold inhibition, crystal modification, dispersion, and others. The threshold inhibition segment is anticipated to grow at the fastest CAGR of 5.0% during the forecast period. Threshold inhibition is an effective and cost-efficient method, which increases the demand for antiscalants. These antiscalants have several advantages over traditional ones as they produce less waste, are environmentally friendly, and are free from harmful phosphates. All these factors anticipated new growth opportunities for threshold inhibition antiscalants during the forecast period.
By end-use industry, the market is fragmented into oil & gas, water & wastewater treatment, power & construction, chemical industry, pulp & paper, mining, and others. The water and wastewater segment is anticipated to grow at the fastest CAGR of 5.3% during the forecast period. As the demand for oil and gas grows, companies are using antiscalants to prevent scaling and maintain optimal production levels. The use of unconventional oil and gas extraction methods and offshore drilling create opportunities for antiscalants. In addition to that, antiscalants help the industry to reduce its environmental impact. As a result, the demand for antiscalants in the oil and gas industry is expected to increase during the forecast period.
By region, the antiscalants market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA. The Asia-Pacific region witnessed the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period. The rise in population in Asia-Pacific increases the demand for water treatment solutions in that antiscalants are used to maintain clean drinking water. Rapid industrialization in countries such as China, India, and Indonesia is driving the demand for antiscalants in various industries such as power generation, oil and gas, and mining to prevent scale buildup and maintain efficient operations.
Key players in the antiscalants industry include: Kemira Oyg, Clariant AG, General Electric, Dow Inc., Ashland, Avista Technologies, Solvay, Solenis, and Lenntech B.V.
