Key Market Trends

Corrosion and Scale Inhibitors to Dominate the Market

  • The Corrosion and Scale inhibitors accounted for the major market share.
  • Corrosion inhibitors are general purpose chemicals applied to deal with corrosion caused in boilers. Corrosion occurrence is because of the reaction of oxygen with metallic parts in a boiler to form oxides.
  • Scale inhibitors are used to slow or prevent scaling in water systems. They safeguard open and closed cooling systems and maintain the efficiency and accurate water conditions of the boiler.
  • The oil & gas and petrochemical industry is one of the largest users of scale inhibitors with the majority of demand coming from the Middle East & Africa. The demand in the Asia-Pacific region is due to the presence of power, textile and paper, and sugar mills industry.
  • Moreover, the food and beverage processing in the ASEAN countries are also expected to add up to the demand.
  • Hence, corrosion and scale inhibitors are expected to dominate the market, during the forecast period.



Asia-Pacific to Dominate the Market

  • Asia-Pacific accounted for the major market share, owing to the high demand from countries, like China and India.
  • China, being the most populated country in the world, faces one of the most challenging tasks to address, the water scarcity situation.
