Inorganic Coagulants Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Product (Aluminum-based Coagulants, Iron-based Coagulants), By End-Use (Food Processing, Pulp & Paper, Textiles, Oil & Gas, Power Generation, Mining & Metallurgy, Others) and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Inorganic coagulants are the chemicals that are used in primary water or sludge treatment processes. The inorganic coagulants destabilize the charge present on the particles of suspended solids which makes them capable of coagulating. Inorganic coagulants are metal based chemicals which can make them corrosive. Aluminium based coagulants are widely used for water treatment due to its easy availability and cost-effectiveness.

The rapid decrease in the potable water resources across the globe is increasing the water stress. To combat this, various government and organizations have started implementing various stringent polices regarding the reusability of water which also includes use of coagulants. this is expected to drive the inorganic coagulants market. additionally, the easy availability of raw materials and the cost-effectiveness shall impact the market positively.

However, some of the coagulants are effective only for a certain pH range which shall hamper the growth of the market.
