"Carboxylates/Carbonates are projected to be the second fastest growing type in terms of value."
Carboxylates/Carbonates are projected to be the second fastest growing type in the antiscalants market due to several factors. As Carboxylic scale inhibitors possess good scale control efficiency compared to calcium-based salt scales under extreme temperatures, water hardness, and a varied pH range. Mono or dicarboxylic acids, phosphine carboxylic acid, anhydrides, and acrylic co/terpolymers are carboxylates/carbonate antiscalants used to inhibit scale. They are used in water treatment scaling applications and boiler water hardness treatment. The presence of hypochlorite makes them more stable than other antiscalant types. They hold high thermal stability and vigorous dispersant activity, enabling them to control scale build-up in high-temperature oil fields and mining operations.
"Threshold inhibitors process type is expected to account for the largest market share in 2023 in terms of value."
Threshold inhibitors process type is expected to account for the largest share in 2023 in terms of value. The threshold inhibitors operate on the principle of delaying the crystal formation process by using scale inhibitors in low concentrations, hence finding favor economically. Threshold inhibitors work on the principle of the adsorption mechanism. Scale formation begins with ion clusters in the solution that come up with an orientation and finally yield micro-crystallites. Once a new crystal begins growing, it can either grow larger or dissolve into the solution. As the scale starts to form around these tiny crystals, the inhibitors in the threshold also attach themselves to the surface of the crystals, preventing their further growth. This makes the crystal unstable and perform dissolution, while releasing the inhibitor in order to stop another crystal from growing.
"Europe is estimated to be the third-largest market for antiscalants in terms of value for the forecasted period."
Europe holds a significant position as the third-largest region in the global antiscalants market, driven by several factors such as the European market for antiscalants is quite mature, primarily due to the gradual shift of the manufacturing sector to countries with high demand and lower production costs. Despite the economic downturn in Europe, the food & beverage industry in the region registered a slightly higher growth rate than the overall manufacturing industry in the region during the past decade. The requirement for improved water quality for different industrial processes, coupled with stringent regulations regarding the treatment and disposal of polluted water, are the major factors driving this market. Steady population growth and increasing standard of living are driving the medical & pharmaceutical, water & wastewater treatment, and industrial filtration industries in the region.
