Industry Overview
The global Flocculants and Coagulants Market was valued at $4.8 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow by $7.8 billion by 2030. The flocculants and coagulants market is further anticipated to grow with a CAGR of 5.3% during the forecast period in terms of value. The growth of this market is attributed to its extensive utilization of every process of water treatment as it helps in diminishing the operating costs along with eradicating the particulate compositions present in contaminated water. Flocculation and coagulation aim at removing substances from the water with the help of a chemical cleaning action and are generally undertaken at the time of the sedimentation process.
Moreover, it has been observed that increasing preference towards organic coagulants as compared to that over traditional coagulant that includes polyacrylamides and alum is further driving the growth of the global flocculants and coagulants market. Moreover, increasing industrialization has further stimulated the need for treating water resources that are ultimately bolstering the growth of the global flocculants and coagulants market.
