Research and Markets: Global Chelating Agents Market 2014-2018: Key Vendors are AkzoNobel, BASF, Dow & Lanxess

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/x24xz3/global_chelating) has announced the addition of the "Global Chelating Agents Market 2014-2018" report to their offering.

A chelating agent is a chemical substance that can form covalent bonds with metal ions, thereby forming a metal-ion complex. It reduces the negative effect that some metal-ions have on chemical processes, formulations, and the environment by chelating with them. Chelating agents are broadly classified into aminopolycarboxylic acid (APCA), sodium gluconate, organophosphates, and others. They are used in a wide range of industries including Pulp and Paper and Water Treatment Chemicals.

This report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the Global Chelating Agents market for the period 2014-2018. To arrive at the ranking of the leading vendors and to calculate the market size, the report considers the revenue generated through the sales of chelating agents. The report provides data on the different segments of the Global Chelating Agents market, which are based on the following criteria: application, product, and geography.

One of the emerging trends in this market is the increasing demand for biodegradable chelating agents that have a low negative on the environment. Key vendors in the market have enhanced their portfolio to offer such products.

According to the report, the most important factor that drives the market is the expansion of production capacities. Key vendors in the market have added production capacities to existing manufacturing facilities to cater to the increasing demand from industries such as Household and Industrial Cleaning, thereby contributing to market growth.
