Organic Coagulant Market Dynamics
Driver: Harmful effect of inorganic coagulant
Inorganic coagulants, such as aluminum and iron salts, have been used for decades to treat drinking water and wastewater due to their effectiveness in removing impurities and contaminants from water. However, they have also been associated with several hazards and drawbacks. They have the potential to produce harmful by-products, such as trihalomethanes (THMs), when they react with organic matter in water. Limiting the development of THMs in treated water is crucial because they are considered to be carcinogenic and can pose a health risk to humans. The use of inorganic coagulants may cause heavy metals to accumulate in the treated water, which could be harmful to human health.
Restraint: Availability of alternative technologies
The advanced technologies minimize the use of organic coagulants in water treatment processes. The development of filtration and ultrafiltration technologies is displacing chemical treatment systems to a large extent. Water treatment frequently uses membrane filtration, but conventional membranes constructed of polymers derived from fossil fuels have the potential to harm the environment. In order to create the membranes for green membrane filtration, renewable and biodegradable materials including cellulose, chitin, and chitosan are used.
Opportunity: Rising population and rapid urbanization in emerging economies
The rising population in emerging economies can have a significant impact on the organic coagulant market. With the increase in population, there is a growing demand for clean water, which requires effective treatment processes to remove contaminants and impurities. Emerging economies are making significant investments in water treatment facilities and wastewater treatment plants as they continue to expand and update their infrastructure. This increased investment is likely to drive demand for organic coagulants, as they are an effective and environmentally friendly solution for water treatment.
Challenges: Sensitivity to pH and temperature
The fact that organic coagulants can be sensitive to changes in pH and temperature is the major challenge. Changes in these factors can, therefore, have a big impact on how well the organic coagulant works. They are most effective in a narrow range of pH and temperature conditions. Whereas at very high temperatures, the organic coagulant may break down or become less effective, while at very low temperatures, the coagulation process may be slowed or reduced. The pH and temperature of the water must be carefully regulated by water treatment facilities during the treatment process to ensure the coagulant's effectiveness. This can be tough and expensive, and it can be particularly difficult in conditions where the pH or temperature of the water is unpredictable or impossible to regulate.
Organic Coagulant Market Ecosystem
By application, oil & gas in industrial water treatment is projected to estimate the highest CAGR during the forecast period in the organic coagulant market
Oil & gas is a major end-user of organic coagulants. In oil & gas drilling and fracking operations, a large quantity of water is required. Many chemicals are mixed with water, and their concentrations and compositions vary with the rock formation. In onshore operations, water is normally sourced from nearby water treatment plants, while in offshore operations, seawater is used, which requires more treatment apart from the normal filtration process.
Asia Pacific is projected to be fastest growing amongst other regions in the organic coagulant market, in terms of value
The demand is mainly driven by factors such as rising demand for clean and safe water, growing population and urbanization, and stringent regulations governing water treatment and purification. It is the largest crude oil importing region, globally. The region consists of the majority of emerging economies of the world such as China, Japan, India, South Korea, Indonesia, and others, and is projected to be a leading market for organic coagulants.
