Market Overview:
The global flotation agents market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The market growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for flotation agents from various end-use industries, such as mineral fuels, iron and ferro-alloy metals, industrial minerals, non-ferrous metals and precious metals. In addition, the growing awareness about the benefits of using flotation agents is also contributing to the growth of this market. Based on type, the global flotation agents market can be segmented into flocculants, collectors, frothers and others. Flocculants are projected to account for a major share of this market in terms of revenue during the forecast period. This can be attributed to their ability to improve separation efficiency and reduce processing time in various applications.
Product Definition:
A flotation agent is a substance that is used to increase the rate of separation of particles in a liquid suspension. The importance of flotation agents lies in their ability to create bubbles which attach to the particles, increasing their buoyancy and causing them to rise to the surface.
Flocculants:
Flocculants are used in wastewater treatment for the removal of suspended particles. It helps in improving the efficiency of various processes involved in water purification, such as sedimentation, decantation and filtration. Flocculants can be naturally occurring or synthetic products; however, they must meet certain criteria regarding their chemical composition and particle size distribution to be effective.
Collectors:
A collectors is a solid, usually crystalline, compound that is soluble in organic solvents and water. It has the ability to concentrate the liquid phase at its surface which results in increased contact between particles resulting in improved suspension efficiency. The product improves particle dispersion and increases floatation due to it's hydrophobic nature.
The global flotation agents market size was valued at USD 3,853 million in 2016.
Application Insights:
The mineral fuels segment dominated the global flotation agents market in 2017, accounting for a share of over 45.0% by revenue. The increasing demand for coal to generate electricity has resulted in an increased requirement of minerals such as coke and limestone that are used as fuel additives. Flotationagents are also used extensivelyin the iron and ferro-alloy metals industry on account of their ability to remove impurities from pig iron without affecting its strength or quality.
Flotation agents act as a medium that enables easy separation offerrous metal from its alloys without any additional chemicals or equipment, thereby reducing costs and environmental pollution caused during processing plants due to discharge into water bodies near minesites.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The region is home to several emerging economies, including China, India, Indonesia and Vietnam. Growing industrialization coupled with increasing investments in mineral processing facilities by Asian countries such as China and India are likely to drive the regional demand for floatation agents over the forecast period.
The iron and steel industry of Asia Pacific has witnessed significant development owing to high domestic consumption along with growing exports across key markets of North America and Europe. In addition, rising construction activities due to population growth are anticipated to augment demand for iron ore pellets in this region over the next eight years. Frothers such as polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) have been used widely for improving water retention capacity of soils since decades which will positively impact market growth during future years on account of increasing mining activities across various applications sectors including agriculture & horticulture., hydropower generation., metal mining., cement manufacturing.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for flotation agents from the mining industry as a result of increasing mineral production.
- Rising demand for flotation agents from the water treatment industry due to stringent government regulations on water quality.
- Growing demand for flotation agents in the paper and pulp industry due to increasing production of specialty papers and pulp products.
- Increasing use of flotation agents in wastewater treatment plants as a result of growing environmental awareness among consumers and businesses alike 5
