Product Code: SR112025A8179
The global corrosion inhibitors market size reached USD 8.8 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 12.3 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3.59% during 2025-2033. The escalating product demand in various end-use sectors, the rising need of protection of the industrial infrastructure from harsh operating conditions and corrosive environments, and a considerable rise in infrastructure development projects represent some of the key factors driving the market.
Corrosion inhibitors refer to a wide range of materials that create a protective barrier on metal surfaces to prevent corrosion by inhibiting the chemical reactions that cause it. This protective layer extends the lifespan of the metal by shielding it from the corrosive environment. Corrosion inhibitors can be organic or inorganic compounds, and their solubility characteristics can vary between polar and non-polar, and are available in liquid, solid, or gas forms. Additionally, they are stable, soluble in the applied medium, and compatible with other system components. They work by forming a protective barrier on the metal surface, promoting the formation of a corrosion-resistant oxide layer, adsorbing onto the metal surface to alter its properties, forming complexes with metal ions to prevent corrosive reactions, and regulating the pH of the environment to create unfavorable conditions for corrosion. Corrosion inhibitors need to efficiently reduce the corrosion rate of the metal and selectively target the metal surface without interfering with other processes or materials.
Corrosion Inhibitors Market Trends:
The global market is primarily driven by the escalating product demand in various end-use sectors, such as oil and gas, petrochemicals, power generation, and manufacturing. This can be attributed to the rising need of protection of the industrial infrastructure from the harsh operating conditions and corrosive environments. In line with this, a considerable rise in infrastructure development projects, such as construction of public structures and buildings requiring effective corrosion protection solutions, is fueling the market. Moreover, the implementation of stringent environmental regulations by governments and regulatory bodies of several countries to minimize the impact of chemical substances on the environment is resulting in a higher product uptake among the masses. The market is further driven by the shifting consumer preference towards the development of green and sustainable corrosion inhibitors. In addition to this, the rapid expansion of the automotive sector, particularly in emerging economies, is acting as a significant growth inducing factor for the market. Some of the other factors contributing to the market include the growing demand for oil and gas exploration activities, the increasing sales of passenger vehicles, continual product innovations and extensive research and development (R&D) activities conducted by key players.
