Global Flocculant and Coagulant Market: Overview

Flocculation and coagulation are water treatment processes that are used to remove suspended solids in water with the help of processes that destabilize the suspended particles. The main difference between the processes is that coagulation refers to the clumping or coming together of suspended particles whereas flocculation is the process in which the clumped or coagulated particles settle at the bottom. Both processes are used in a succession of one another, where flocculation follows coagulation.

The end goal is to remove and neutralize the charge density of particles which is achieved through coagulation and then allow particle binding through flocculation in which the larger aggregate particles separate from the water and settle at the bottom of the storage unit. Flocculants and coagulants have gained wide applications in processes involving wastewater solids dewatering, mining wastewater treatment, effluent wastewater treatment, and recycled plastics wash water treatment.

Covid-19 Impact

The pandemic severely impacted the global market cap during the initial phase of the pandemic owing to the restrictions forcing all units to temporary operational shutdown. However, gradually by the last quarter of 2020, the global market has picked up the pace and is projected to grow at a high CAGR in the coming years.

Global Flocculant and Coagulant Market: Growth Drivers

Rising demand for wastewater management to propel market growth

The global flocculant and coagulant market is projected to grow owing to the increasing need and rising demand for proper wastewater management owing to the serious implications industrialization have on the quality of available water. Wastewater refers to any water that is required to be cleaned or treated before being put back into the ecosystem for future use. The natural process of water cleaning is currently overwhelmed owing to the tremendous increase in population and water consumption for various purposes as well as the rise in industrial wastewater.

The mismanagement of such waste can lead to serious environmental risks that are currently visible in developing or under-developed economies with the unavailability of a sufficient clean water supply.

Global Flocculant and Coagulant Market: Restraints

Restrictions related to the use of alum as a coagulant to restrain market expansion

There are various cons associated with the use of alum and ferric chloride as coagulants to treat water. Some of these negative traits are the efficiency of alum only at a certain pH level and the large quantities of the coagulant required depending on the amount of wastewater to be treated. For instance, if the wastewater is extremely dirty, more alum will be required. There is evidence that alum does not necessarily work with every type of wastewater thus restricting its applications.

Flocculant and Coagulant Market: Opportunities

The growing use of organic and low-cost coagulants to act as major growth opportunities

Since flocculants and coagulants have become extremely important aspects of the modern world, there are an increasing number of research studies conducted for the development of organic and cost-effective chemicals to be used on a large scale. For instance, the rising adoption of moringa oleifera (MO) as a coagulant. MO is a multipurpose tree with exceptional properties witnessing a growing adoption trend in developing countries, especially for water treatment activities.

Global Flocculant and Coagulant Market: Challenges

Longer time duration acts as a challenging factor

Flocculation and coagulation are lengthy processes and have to be conducted under the supervision of experienced professionals only. During the process, the external chemical feed has to be continuously added to yield the best results, causing the process to take long hours to complete. This acts as a major challenge for the global market players along with sludge formation if toxic compounds get transferred to materials in a solid state.

Global Flocculant and Coagulant Market: Segmentation

The global flocculant and coagulant market is segmented based on end-user, type, and region.

Based on end-user, the global market segments are pulp & paper, municipal water treatment, mining, oil & gas, and others. The global market is led by the oil & gas sector driven by the excessive chemical products these companies deal with. Since, with time, currently the global players are witnessing a shortage of clean water in chemical plants and refining, the segmental growth may gain more momentum in the coming years. A typical 100-500 gallons per minute equipment can cost anything between USD 200,000 to USD 70,000

Based on type, the global flocculant and coagulant market divisions are cationic flocculant, organic coagulant, anionic flocculant, amphoteric flocculant, inorganic coagulant, and non-ionic flocculant. Anionic flocculants are used for mineral particles whereas cationic chemicals are used for organic particles. Currently, anionic flocculant leads the global market segment owing to its high applications in the oil & gas and mining sector. However, a key point to note is the steady growth of organic coagulants in low-income economies.

Recent Developments:

  • In February 2022, Tidal Vision, an American manufacturer, and supplier of ready-to-use chitosan flocculant, agricultural elicitor applications, and textile treatments, upcycled chitosan from crab shells which is a biopolymer made of seafood byproducts. The upcycled chitosan can be converted into liquid and used for the treatment of wastewater or stormwater. This is achieved through the coagulation between the positive particles of the pollutant and the chitosan
  • In July 2022, EPICOR Inc., a global manufacturer of resin & fiber mixture and ion exchange resin supplying its services to the energy sector, was acquired by Evoqua Water Technologies thus helping the company expand its portfolio, especially the integrated services and solution segment of the business
