Introduction
The market research institute Ceresana expects the global chelating agents market to reach more than 5 million tonnes in 2018. In 2010, the Asia-Pacific region was the largest outlet, generating about 45% of worldwide demand for chelating agents. The region was followed by Western Europe and North America.
Most demand for chelating agents is generated by the cleaners and detergents market. In Asia-Pacific and South America, the market for modern cleaners and detergents will see strong growth. Especially chelating agent manufacturers will be able to benefit from this trend. The report analyzes how the use of chelating agents will develop in the individual application areas. In addition, it reveals how new innovative products will create business opportunities for manufacturers and suppliers.
The pulp industry had the second-largest demand in 2010. Chelating agents are used in the production of bleached pulp and the deinking of recycled papers.
The use of innovative chelating agents is also growing in other application areas, such as process water treatment or agricultural technology. In these areas, particularly the demand for biodegradable chelating agents has been increasing during past years. Some reasons for this are ecological concerns because of the bioaccumulation of chelating agents and the resulting consequences for humans and environment.
The saturated markets in Western Europe and North America will see sluggish growth in the coming years. Market trends in these regions will be characterized by substitutions and the introduction of chelating agents in new application areas. In the remaining world regions, almost all application areas offer huge potential for growth.
We expect the cleaners and detergents market - the major application area for chelating agents - to register average growth. Especially in the Asia-Pacific region, pulp production will grow strongly.
Manufacturers and users of chelating agents will have to follow the trend of replacing conventional chelating agents by new environmentally friendly ones - also outside of Western Europe and North America. The study explains how legislative amendments and growing environmental awareness will influence the market.

The Study in Brief:

Chapter 1 is a short overview of the most important information on the different chelating agents. It offers information on their classification, characteristics, application areas, legal situation, and environmental and health aspects.
Chapter 2 provides an overview and analysis of the chelating agents market - including forecasts up to 2018. The demand for each chelating agent type is explained in detail. In addition, you will learn about key global and regional influences that are changing demand patterns. Moreover, you will gain insight into the development of individual regions and global market dynamics. The report also offers all essential market data related to the application areas.
Chapter 3 analyzes demand for the most widely used chelating agents worldwide. The demand data is divided into 7 world regions (Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, Asia-Pacific, Middle East, and Africa) and into application areas, such as cleaners & detergents, pulp & paper, agriculture, photographics, and textiles.
Chapter 4 provides 106 profiles of chelating agent manufacturers - clearly arranged according to contact details, turnover, profit, product range, production sites, profile summary, product basis, fields of application, and brand names. Manufacturers include for example Akzo Nobel, Archer Daniels Midland, BASF, Cargill, Clariant, Dow Chemical, Kemira, Lanxess, Merck, Mitsubishi Rayon, Nippon Shokubai, Tate & Lyle, Trumpler, and Zschimmer & Schwarz.
Note: The profiles are assigned to the country in which the company or holding is headquartered. Company profiles also include JVs and subsidiaries.
