Cooling Water Treatment Chemicals Market - Forecast(2024 - 2030)

Cooling water treatment chemicals market size is forecast to reach $21.4 billion by 2025, after growing at a CAGR of 6.1% during 2020-2025. With rise in industrial sector around the globe, the demand for cooling water treatment chemicals are anticipated to grow, as it is used to, ensure an efficient process and long equipment service life. Governments’ regulations towards opening new industries for their economic growth, will further boost the market growth.

The report: “Cooling Water Treatment Chemicals Market (2020-2025)”, by IndustryARC, covers an in-depth analysis of the following segments of the cooling water treatment chemicals industry.

By Chemicals – Scale Inhibitor, Corrosion Inhibitors, Biocides, Others.

By End Use – Power, Steel, Mining & Metallurgy, Petrochemical, Oil & gases, Food & Beverages, Textiles & Dyes, Others.

By Geography – North America, South America, Europe, APAC, RoW.

Corrosion Inhibitors holds the largest share in the chemicals used for the cooling water treatment, as it is added to cooling water systems that have extensive metals that require protection against corrosion. If it is not used, corrosion can reduce plant productivity, cause plant downtime, and require costly equipment replacements down the road. Inhibitors form barrier films that inhibit metal corrosion rate by decreasing the diffusion rate of depolarizers to the surface of the metal. Scale inhibitors are used after corrosion inhibiters were used because if the metals will remain corrosive then there will be no benefit of scale inhibitors as they are used to reduce the growth of microbes and biofilms.

Power industry holds the largest share in the end-use industries for cooling water treatment chemicals market, owing to the large amount of water requirement in the industries and need to preserve freshwater resources. Power industries such as thermal and nuclear plants, often use seawater for cooling and are equipped with anti-corrosion heat exchange equipment. The increasing number of nuclear plants across the world, coupled with the need to maintain the existing plants, is expected to augment the usage of cooling water treatment chemicals, due to this, the market demand for cooling water treatment chemicals market will grow.

APAC has dominated the cooling water treatment chemicals market with a share of more than 42%, owing to high demand from the end-user industries, such as power, steel, and food & beverage. Countries such as India, China, Japan are the epicentre for the cooling water treatment chemicals market, as these countries consist of large number of industries. Due to the coinciding borders of India and china, tensions always arise between these two countries. So, in competition to be superior upon one another both of them are indulge in creating more and more atom bombs which will eventually aid the market demand for cooling water treatment chemicals market. Also, the insurance of more employments in these countries, governments’ looks very excitingly towards opening new industries

Implementation of Stringent Governments’ regulations and efforts to reuse water and wastewater treatment in industries, will further aid the market growth of cooling water treatment chemicals market. The removal of impurities from wastewater, or sewage, before they reach aquifers or natural bodies of water such as rivers, lakes, estuaries, and oceans. Since pure water is not found in nature (i.e., outside chemical laboratories), any distinction between clean water and polluted water depends on the type and concentration of impurities found in the water as well as on its intended use.

Due to the use of these chemicals in the equipments, they remains in the good functioning and the industries didn’t have to repair it again and again in very short span of time. The work also becomes efficient, as equipments takes less time in production. Treating water for cooling towers is an integral part of the process operations in many industries and is used to minimise water depletion and remove zinc, chromates and carbonate from the water used in cooling towers.

In manufacturing, setup cost is the cost incurred to get equipment ready to process a different batch of goods. Hence, setup cost is regarded as a batch-level cost in activity-based costing. Setup cost is considered to be a non-value-added cost that should be minimized. One notable hurdle of cooling water treatment chemicals market is that, it is considerably costly to set up. So, small industries are financially not that much strong to setup these equipments. So, they look to escape the installing of these equipments.

Technology launches, acquisitions and R&D activities are key strategies adopted by players in the Cooling water treatment chemicals Market. In 2019, the market of cooling water treatment chemicals has been consolidated by the top five players accounting for xx% of the share. Major players in the Cooling water treatment chemicals Market are BASF SE, Dow Chemical, Akzo Nobel, Ecolab Inc., GE Water and Process Technologies among others.
