Natural Chelating Agents Market Insights:
Natural Chelating Agents Market was valued at USD 4.5 Billion in 2021, registering a CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period (2022-2030), and the market is projected to be worth USD 6.8 Billion by 2030.
Natural chelating agents are biodegradable chemical compositions that bind with the metal ions and play a vital role in the efficacy and stability of multiple products such as agrichemicals, cosmetics, and food & beverage. The surging use of natural chelating agents especially in the manufacturing of cosmetic products is expected to contribute to the growth of the natural chelating agents market due to non-toxic and environment-friendly applications. For instance, natural chelating agents received acceptance from regulatory authorities like the National Institute of Health and Food and Drugs Administration in terms of safe for use on the skin and eyes, which resulted in the large usage of natural chelating agents such as sodium gluconate and glutamic acid diacetate (GLDA) in cosmetic products. Thus, favorable regulations for increased demand for vegan cosmetic products are expected to boost the natural chelating agents market during the forecast period due to the large usage of natural chelating agents.
Additionally, increased demand for vegan cosmetics is also expected to support the growth of natural chelating agents owing to the growing use of natural chelating agents in cosmetic production. For instance, in August 2021, the personal care firms named Dove and The Body Shop collaborated with the protection organization such as Humane Society International (HSI), People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and Eurogroup for Animals, and the European Coalition to End Animal Experiments (ECEAE), to urge to the European Commission for upholding the ban on animal testing for the cosmetics. Thus, rising demand for clean, animal cruelty products among the population is estimated to contribute to the growth of the natural chelating agents market. In the context of the region, Asia Pacific is anticipated to contribute to the growth of the natural chelating agents market. The factors such as rising inclination towards natural substitutes like sodium gluconate to conventional sequesters especially in cosmetic, detergent, and cleaning products, rising cleaning applications due to increased hygiene awareness among the population, and growing expenditure from major industry players for facilitation of innovative, clean products are projected to accelerate the natural chelating agents market in the Asia Pacific region.
Natural Chelating Agents Market Dynamics:
The chelating agent is known as a chemical compound that reacts with the metal ions for the formation of water-soluble and stable metal complexes. The agent rearranges the chemical composition of metal to improve the general bonding likelihood and stability. Naturally occurring chelating agents are more favorable for the removal of toxins from soluble concentrations due to their biodegradable and nontoxic properties.
Driver:
The increased rising demand from the cosmetic industry for reduced risks of oxidation and rancidity and increased awareness of biodegradable sequestering agents such as ethylene diamine disuccinate (EDDS) and glutamic acid diacetate (GLDA) are the major factors that boost the growth of natural chelating agents market. Furthermore, the rising demand for natural chelating products due to low nitrogen toxicity and biodegradability are the major factors that fuel the growth of the natural chelating agents market.
Restraint:
The lack of awareness of natural chelating agents hampers the growth of the natural chelating agents market due to reduced industry penetration. Additionally, the harmful impacts of toxic synthetic chelating agents such as nitrilotriacetic acid and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) owing to the non-biodegradability and high water insolubility also restrict the growth of natural chelating agents market during the forecast period.
Opportunities:
The scope of clean alternatives in multiple industries such as the oil processing market, detergents, and garment market combined with the augmented expansion of eCommerce sectors in developing countries like India, Brazil, and Mexico owing to the large scale supply of the products is expected to create lucrative opportunities for the natural chelating agents market. Additionally, the need for green alternatives to existing toxic chelating agents such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) for reducing the adverse effects on the environment is also anticipated to create profitable opportunities for the growth of the natural chelating agents market during the forecast period.
COVID-19 Analysis of Natural Chelating Agents Market:
The natural chelating agents market has been significantly impacted due to the COVID-19 pandemic in many different parts of the world. The factors such as transportation restrictions decreased demand for copiers and printing paper due to the shutdown of colleges and schools, limited availability of raw materials, and economic slowdown are the major impacts of COVID-19 which hampered the growth of the natural chelating agents market. Shipments were impacted during the initial lockdown due to a labor shortage and the closure of a manufacturing facility which led to the decline, especially in the paper and pulp industry. However, the circumstances have stabilized and as a result, it is determined that COVID-19’s overall impact on the natural chelating agents market is moderate. Post covid-19, there was a positive impact on the natural chelating agents market due to the rising use of cleaning products such as surface cleaners, detergents, and shampoos with biodegradable sequesters like glutamic acid diacetate (GLDA) and Methylglycine Diacetic Acid (MGDA) for hygiene maintenance.
