Market Overview:
The global biodegradable flocculants market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for water treatment and oil & gas applications, and rising awareness about environment-friendly products. Based on type, the biodegradable flocculants market is segmented into chitosan-based, PAM-based, and others. Chitosan-based flocculants are projected to lead the market during the forecast period owing to their high efficiency in water treatment applications. Based on application, the biodegradable flocculants market is segmented into water treatment, oil & gas production, minerals extraction (including coal mining), paper manufacturing, and other applications (including food processing). Water treatment accounted for a major share of the global biodegradable flocculants market in 2017 and is projected to grow at a high rate during the forecast period owing to increasing demand from municipal as well as industrial sectors across regions.
Product Definition:
A biodegradable flocculant is a chemical used to aggregate small particles into larger clumps, which can then be more easily removed from water or wastewater. The importance of biodegradable flocculants is twofold: they improve the efficiency of wastewater treatment by helping to remove smaller particles that would otherwise escape filtration, and they reduce the environmental impact of waste treatment by breaking down into harmless components after use.
Chitosan Based:
Chitosan based, also known as chitin or chitOSAN, is a natural polymer and an amino polysaccharide. It is obtained from the shells of crab, lobster and shrimp. The product has high surface area which makes it highly suitable for use in water treatment applications such as removal of hardness (calcium & magnesium), filtration systems & reverse osmosis systems owing to its large molecular weight range (MW 200-800).
PAM Based:
Polyacrylamide, also known as PAM, is a non-ionic polymer with high viscosity and molecular weight. It is soluble in water and ethanol. The product finds application in various industries including food & beverages, pharmaceuticals, chemicals & petrochemicals and wastewater treatment among others. Increasing demand for the product from these end-use industries has been driving market growth over the past few years.
Application Insights:
The water treatment application segment led the market and accounted for more than 35% share of the global revenue in 2017. The product is widely used as a flocculating, coagulating, and sedimentation agent in municipal wastewater treatment plants. It has been found to be an effective alternative to polyelectrolytes (PEE) due to its lower cost and greater biodegradability.
The oil & gas industry is one of the major consumers of waterflooding techniques owing to high permeability associated with shale reserves worldwide. However, increasing pressure on companies from investors regarding high capital expenditure for exploration activities coupled with low oil prices is expected to impact negatively on this industry over the forecast period.
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, such as China, India, Indonesia and Vietnam. Increasing population coupled with rapid urbanization has resulted in increased demand for processed food which has led to an increase in dietary fiber consumption across this region. This trend is projected to have a positive impact on the growth of the regional market over the forecast period.
The growing mining sector across Asia Pacific countries such as Australia and China owing to increasing mineral extraction activities from ores including gold, iron ore etc.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants for better effluent quality
- Stringent environmental regulations for water discharge and increasing awareness among industries about the benefits of using biodegradable flocculants over synthetic flocculants
- Growing demand from paper and pulp industry for efficient wastewater treatment to improve the quality of recycled fiber
- Rising investments in water infrastructure globally, especially in developing countries
- Technological advancements that are making biodegradable flocculants more effective and economical
