Report Summary

Aminopolycarboxylate is used in household and industrial cleaning applications for removal of hard water scale, metal oxides and salts from fabrics to improve shelf life of end products and process efficiency and to reduce maintenance cost. Aminopolycarboxylates include chemicals such as EDTA, NTA, DTPA, and PDTA, among others and are the most widely used categories of chelating agents. Pulp & paper is the largest end-use industry for chelating agents, which accounted for the highest market share, in terms of value, in 2015. Chelating agents play a major role in the pulp processing and paper production processes. They offer benefits such as enhanced effectiveness of hydrogen peroxide and hydrosulfite bleaches, lower bleaching costs, control and removal of scales, and reduction in costly downtime. The global Chelating Agent market was 3.98 billion US$ in 2020 and is expected to 9.2 billion US$ by the end of 2034, growing at a CAGR of 8.2% between 2025 and 2034.
