This research report titled ‘Global Chelating Agents Market 2016-2020’ provides an in-depth analysis of the market in terms of revenue and emerging market trends. This market research report also includes up to date analysis and forecasts for various market segments and all geographical regions.

An important factor that is leading to the growth of the global chelating agents market is the increasing wastewater treatment activities worldwide.

But the limited availability of freshwater resources is increasing the regulations for water use and for the discharge of effluent water. Various physical processes such as osmosis, ultraviolet radiation, and chemicals such as peroxides and chlorine derivatives are widely employed for treating waste water.

One of Technavio’s lead analysts for research on additives, adhesives, and sealants, Chandrakumar Balada Jaganathan, says, “Many governments globally have realized the need for improving water quality and are implementing measures to reduce water contamination. They are providing funds and incentives to encourage organizations and households to invest in these chemicals.”
