Biodegradable Chelating Agents Market by Type (2-Hydroxyethyliminodi Disodium Salt, Ethylenediamine Di-Succinic Sodium Salt, Glutamic Acid Diacetate), Formulation, Application, Distribution Channel

List of Tables

The Biodegradable Chelating Agents Market was valued at USD 3.20 billion in 2023, expected to reach USD 3.41 billion in 2024, and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.49%, to USD 4.98 billion by 2030.

Biodegradable chelating agents are compounds that bind metal ions, facilitating their removal or deactivation, and degrade in the environment without accumulating harmful residues. These agents are essential for applications in sectors like agriculture, water treatment, personal care, and pulp and paper, where traditional chelating agents pose environmental risks. The necessity for biodegradable options is driven by stringent environmental regulations and a heightened consumer awareness of sustainable practices. In agriculture, they enhance nutrient uptake, while in water treatment, they prevent scale and corrosion. End-use scope widely spans industries dealing with heavy metals or requiring metal ion stabilization, such as the food and beverage sector and cleaning products industry.
