Advantages associated with ant-scaling chemicals are notably driving the market growth. Industrial anti-scaling chemicals have been in use for decades in industrial process systems. This is due to the large volumes of water that are used within process systems. The use of these chemicals in various applications, such as the oil and gas industry, helps in the prevention of corrosion and scale formation. In addition, the ease of handling these chemicals ensures a streamlined operation and improved productivity. The use of industrial anti-scaling chemicals requires minimized monitoring and maintenance. The cost-effective nature and performance of these chemicals place them on par with the best available technology in the market.
However, the use of industrial anti-scaling chemicals becomes a cheaper option as they do not require much additional investment in the equipment or infrastructure. Considering all these advantages offered by industrial anti-scaling chemicals, apart from being reliable, efficient, and effective, other available solutions will take time to compete on similar terms. Thus, such benefits of industrial anti-scaling chemicals will increase its demand, which, in turn, will propel the growth of the industrial anti-scaling chemicals market during the forecast period.
The introduction of green inhibitors is an emerging trend shaping the market growth. Green inhibitors are biodegradable anti-scaling chemicals and do not contain any toxic compounds; therefore, they can be used without affecting the environment, unlike organic inhibitors, which are toxic to the environment. In addition to being biodegradable, green inhibitors are renewable, readily available, and ecologically acceptable. These inhibitors are obtained from natural sources such as plants and are generally flavonoids, alkaloids, and other natural products. The different types of green inhibitors are plant extracts, drugs, amino acids, rare earth metal compounds, and others, such as surfactant corrosion inhibitors. The preference for green inhibitors is increasing. Government organizations and research institutes are conducting research on the discovery of green inhibitors
For instance, the European Union has funded a project for the development of an innovative biomimetic and eco-efficient environmental technology for inhibiting microbial-induced corrosion (MIC). New corrosion inhibitors will be produced by biofouling through the integration of microorganisms in a sol-gel coating for metal surfaces. Such research activities will drive the growth of the industrial anti-scaling chemicals market during the forecast period.
The rise in alternative technologies is a significant challenge hindering market growth. Industrial anti-scaling chemicals will most likely be replaced by physical treatment technologies that include UV disinfection and membrane filtration. Strict regulations in some parts of the world promote the reduction and elimination of the use of chemical treatment solutions to obtain purified and clean water. The governments of various countries, such as the UK and Germany, are ensuring heavy investments in R&D for the development of substitute technologies that can replace water treatment chemicals. Some of the non-chemical methods that are gaining popularity in the global water treatment industry are ultraviolet (UV) treatment, membrane filtration, and organic and biological treatments.
In addition, North America is investing heavily in R&D to substitute traditional chemicals. Such technological advancements are creating hurdles in the global industrial anti-scaling chemicals market. The increase in environmental concerns and rising awareness are leading to reductions in the use of synthetic chemicals and promoting greener and non-chemical solutions to process water. Thus, the rise in such alternative technologies will hamper the growth of the industrial anti-scaling chemicals market during the forecast period

The oil gas and mining segment was the largest segment and was valued at USD 958.83 million in 2018. Scaling is a common issue in mining processes, particularly in mineral extraction and ore processing operations. Scale formation can occur due to the nature of minerals present in the ores as well as the use of water in various stages of mining. Scaling can lead to reduced production efficiency, clogged pipelines, and equipment damage, resulting in costly downtime and decreased profitability. Therefore, the mining industry relies on effective anti-scaling chemicals to prevent or minimize scale formation and maintain smooth operations. Furthermore, the adoption of advanced technologies and increasing mining complexities necessitate tailored anti-scaling solutions, further fueling the demand for these chemicals in the mining sector. Thus, growth in the oil and gas and mining sectors worldwide will fuel the growth of the global industrial anti-scaling chemicals market during the forecast period.

APAC is estimated to contribute 42% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period. APAC will be the largest geographical segment of the global industrial ant-scaling chemicals market in 2023 and will continue to remain the largest segment during the forecast period. The industrial ant-scaling chemicals market in APAC will grow at the fastest CAGR when compared with other geographical segments during the forecast period, owing to the increased consumption of industrial ant-scaling chemicals in emerging economies, especially China and India. In APAC, most of the countries are undergoing rapid industrialization. The high growth in various industries, such as power generation, metal and mineral mining, paper and pulp, and food and beverages, has indirectly accelerated the demand for purified or processed water. This has raised the demand for industrial ant-scaling chemicals.
In addition, the infrastructural and industrial development projects undertaken by the government are inviting huge investments. This industrial expansion is expected to increase the consumption of water and water treatment chemicals. Such expansion projects will significantly contribute to the consumption of industrial anti-scaling chemicals and, in turn, will boost the growth of the regional market during the forecast period.
The outbreak of COVID-19 negatively impacted the growth of the regional industrial anti-scaling chemicals market in 2020. However, the market gained momentum in 2021 owing to the initiation of mass vaccination drives and the resumption of operations of end-user industries such as oil and gas. Moreover, increasing operations in the oil and gas industry in developing economies such as India will drive the demand for industrial anti-scaling chemicals. For instance, in September 2021, the government of India approved USD 15.38 billion in oil and gas projects for Northeast India. Thus, such expansions in the oil and gas sector will further revive the growth of the regional industrial anti-scaling chemicals market during the forecast period.
