Chelating agents are chemical compounds that form a stable, water-soluble complex after reacting with metal ions. They are usually organic compounds and have a ring-like center which forms at least two bonds with the metal ion, thus allowing it to be excreted. They are used in the treatment of heavy metal poisoning as well as play a significant role in the manufacturing process of a wide range of industrial and household cleaning products. Some of these products include detergents, liquid washing soaps, surface cleaners, sprays, and granules. They are used in several other applications including scale removal, water treatment and corrosion control. Additionally, they are also used for deactivating metal ions to prevent plugging, sealing and precipitation.

The surging demand from pulp and paper and the detergent and cleaning industries is currently driving the growth of the market. Moreover, the increasing need for chelating agents in industrial cleaning and household applications is further driving the market globally. For instance, aminopolycarboxylic acid (APCA) is employed for the removal of metal oxides, salts and hard water scale from fabrics. In addition to this, the growing requirement of alternatives to non-biodegradable organic compounds and rapid urbanization and industrialization coupled with the increasing consciousness about hygiene and cleanliness are further catalyzing the growth of the market globally.
