Boiler Water Treatment Chemical Market Analysis

ID: MRFR//4722-HCR | 100 Pages | Author: Priya Nagrale| April 2024

Growth and direction of the Boiler Water Treatment Chemical industry are determined by forces that evolve rapidly. One main aspect of such forces is the relationship between supply and demand which form core market dynamics herein. As a result of this, boiler water treatment chemicals which are necessary for checking scale buildup plus corrosion so as to preserve boilers’ efficiency and lifespan face uncertain demand due to industrial activity, energy use or even changes in legislation regarding pollution among others. Consequently, awareness of these supply chain shifts is essential for concerned firms when crafting business plans that take into account changing needs arising from varying economic segments.
Water streams produced during oil production contain significant amount of varying quality waters. In order to manage produced or wastewater, oil & gas industry extensively uses boiler systems. The recent surge in the oil and gas sector has dramatically increased demand for boiler water treatment chemicals, a trend expected to continue in future. Because production companies strive hard towards reduction on water consumption as well as recycling of produced water, there is a growth in the market for boiler water treatment chemicals. Furthermore, depletion of crude oil reserves in major OPEC countries like Saudi Arabia and Indonesia has led to higher capital expenditures on exploration and production (E&P) thereby contributing to the increased uptake of boiler water treatment chemicals.
However, technological advancements are significant contributors that shape the Boiler Water Treatment Chemical market dynamics. Continuous research into chemical formulations as well as innovations on monitoring technologies and water treatment processes have resulted into better, environmentally friendly boiler water treatments. These developments not only enhance effectiveness of the chemicals used for treating boilers but also impact competitiveness of markets where manufacturers strive to offer products that correspond to safer and more economical choices requested by customers.

The Boiler Water Treatment Chemical market dynamics are closely associated with end-user industry trends, particularly in such industries as power generation, manufacturing and chemical processing. Power generation sector demand for efficient and reliable boiler systems drive the use of water treatment chemicals to mitigate corrosion, scaling etc. Similarly, in manufacturing as well as chemical processing where boilers form an integral part of various processes, effective water treatment becomes essential. Therefore understanding these industrial specific trends is important for market participants who seek to match their offerings with changing requirements of diversified end-users.

Boiler Water Treatment Chemical Market Overview


To treat boiler water in power plants, boiler water treatment chemicals are used. These chemicals are mixed into the boiler water to remove impurities. This aids in the prevention of corrosion and other problems in boilers. Two compounds that are used to scavenge oxygen in order to maintain proper boiler water qualities are sodium sulfite and hydrazine. They contain a variety of polyphosphate and organic compounds that are used in feed-water systems to reduce scale and corrosion.


Because of deteriorating water quality and aging infrastructure, the global market for boiler water treatment chemicals is expanding over time. With rapid industrialization and increasing demand for power generation, ensuring economical, secure, and efficient electricity delivery has become a challenge. As a result, treating feed water is highly recommended in order to keep the boiler running efficiently. Another factor driving the high demand for boiler water treatment chemicals is the expanding food, beverage, and textile industries.
