Water Treatment Biocides Market

Chemical agents known as water treatment biocides are widely used in the process of treating Water. They are synthesizing agents that eliminate all forms and sizes of microbes. These are designed to suppress microbial growth in potable water, process water, open cooling systems, down water services, etc. Stabilized chlorine bromide solutions, polymeric quaternary amine, terbuthylazine, glutaraldehyde, isothiazolinone, and carbamate are some of the biocides that are most frequently used in the water treatment process.

The increasing requirement for municipal water treatment, brought on by the rising demand for clean drinking water supported by the expanding population and urbanization, is the initial driver in the global market for water treatment biocides. In order to solve the global problem of scarcity, water treatment is required. Biocides help manage microbial fouling, preventing biofilm development, eradicating pathogens, and preventing scaling and corrosion in water systems. These biocides can be divided into different categories based on how they were synthesized and how they work, including oxidizing biocides (such as chlorine and bromine) and non-oxidizing biocides (such as quaternary ammonium compounds and isothiazolinones). 

The market for water treatment biocides consists of the manufacturing, distribution, and use of these biocidal agents by different sectors of industry and water treatment service providers. The need for water treatment biocides is being driven by a number of factors, including the need for effective microbiological control, compliance with regulatory standards for Water quality, the prevention of equipment damage and system fouling, and the promotion of public safety and security. expansion of industry, increase in population,

During the forecast period, it is anticipated that the oil and gas application segment will dominate the global water treatment biocides market in terms of value. The oil and gas industry is experiencing an increasing need for water treatment biocides, including glutaraldehyde and tetrakis hydroxymethyl-phosphonium sulfate (THPS).

In The Region, The Asia Pacific Water Treatment Biocides Market Holds a Significant Revenue Share.

The worldwide market is anticipated to generate the most value in the Asia Pacific region during the projected period. The demand from the area's constantly expanding population can be credited with driving up construction activity. In addition, the need for industrial and consumer applications is anticipated to result in higher usage of cleaning and water treatment goods. Due to its vast population, which must be fed, housed, and

maintained while keeping the environment clean for people, China is the largest consumer of all the products. However, North America is anticipated to experience slow growth during the projected time. The market is driven by quick technological development and innovation due to regional economic growth.

Recent Developments:

  • In Aug 2022, A US patent was awarded to Nouryon for its innovative LumaTreat-tagged polymers, which are utilized in advanced water treatment. To support Nouryon's dedication to offering groundbreaking and indispensable resolutions for a sustainable future, the utilization of LumaTreat®-tagged polymers facilitated the quantification of deposit-control agents present in water treatment systems. It decreased the consumption of polymers and Water throughout the treatment process, thereby improving the ecological impact of operations.
