Summary

• The global flocculants market should reach 6.8
  billion by 2021 from 5.0 billion in 2016 at a
  compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2, from
  2016 to 2021.
• INTRODUCTION
• Flocculation is a process of forming aggregates
  from suspension. Flocculantsconsist of anionic,
  nonionic and cationic polymers having different
  molecularweights. Flocculants are used to
  clarify and separate impurities from
  water.Flocculants are used primarily for
  treating water and wastewater.
• In terms of revenue, the global flocculants
  market was valued at nearly 4.8 billionin 2015.
  It is expected to increase to about 6.8 billion
  by 2021, at a CAGR of 6.2 from 2016 to 2021. In
  terms of volume, the global flocculants market
  was valued at 1,401.2 kilotons in 2015. It is
  expected to increase to 1,844.2 kilotons by 2021,
  at a CAGR of 4.6 from 2016 to 2021.

• The economics of the flocculants market is
  dependent on the price elasticity ofdemand for
  flocculants as compared to demand for other
  water-treatment chemicals. The price elasticity
  of demand for flocculants is relatively high due
  to the following three factors
• 1. Flocculants are not considered to be a
  necessity in developing countries in these
  countries, consumers are ready to switch to
  cheaper alternatives to flocculants.
• 2. Due to the standardized nature of flocculants,
  producers face difficulties indeveloping
  innovative flocculant-based products.
• 3. Low-cost substitutes of flocculants are
  present in the market.
• Due to these factors, the price elasticity of
  demand for flocculants is quite high. By changing
  the price of flocculants by a small amount, the
  total quantity demandedcan change greatly. Among
  the major economic contributions of flocculants
  aredecreased healthcare costs for noncommercial
  users because of drinking flocculated water
  supplies and decreased equipment maintenance
  costs for industrial settingsthat use water
  treated by flocculants.

• Furthermore, the rising price of water has
  influenced industrial users to use recycled
  waters. Using waters recycled through flocculants
  decreases the operational costs of industrial
  users. For example, in a study published by the
  University of California in 2008, it was found
  that using recycled water can decrease
  operational costs ofmunicipalities and
  industries significantly. Using cost-benefit
  analysis, it has beenfound that use of
  flocculants in water-recycling projects increases
  economiccompetitiveness for municipalities and
  industries in the long run.
• Municipal water supplies contain impurities such
  as metal ions and salts, amongothers. Drinking
  such water can cause various diseases in humans
  and other animals. Water disposed by various
  industries also contains heavy amounts of metal
  ions,hydroxides, and salts, among other
  impurities. Due to the presence of
  theseimpurities, these water supplies not only
  lessen environmental sustainability, butalso
  decrease the longevity of equipment used in
  industrial settings. In order toavoid such
  problems, flocculants are used in both municipal
  and industrialwater-treatment and
  wastewater-treatment projects.

• In terms of revenue and volume of consumption,
  industrial end users accounted for a 65.4 and
  62.6 share of the flocculants market in 2015,
  respectively.
• Flocculants have major applications in
  water-treatment and wastewater-treatmentprocesses
  . In both municipal and industrial
  water-treatment projects, flocculants are widely
  used. Within the industrial segment, flocculants
  are used in the power-generation industry,
  manufacturing industry (chemical processing, pulp
  and paper,food and beverages, and
  pharmaceutical, among others), oil and gas
  industry, andmining and metal industry, among
  others. The growing demand for water treatment
  and wastewater treatment in municipal and
  industrial settings globally has positively
  impacted the growth of the flocculants market.
  Moreover, stringent environmentregulations
  imposed by regulatory institutions have motivated
  industrial players touse water-treatment
  chemicals. Furthermore, an increase in mining
  activities hasfueled the demand for synthetic
  flocculants such as polyacrylamide its
  derivatives. Moreover, product innovation related
  to polyacrylamide has created opportunity for
  producers to enter the synthetic flocculants
  market.
