Increasing industrialization in developing economies drives the Corrosion Inhibitors Market

Infrastructural development in economies such as China, India, Brazil, and South Korea, are expected to boost industrial activities and increase the consumption of corrosion inhibitors during the forecast period. In 2018, countries such as China, the US, Australia, the UK, and France spent 5.57%, 0.52%, 1.69%, 0.92%, and 0.84% of their GDP in construction and maintenance of infrastructure, according to Statista. In 2020, China had scheduled USD 1.07 trillion as infrastructure spending, according to China Banking News.

According to the World Bank, emerging economies need to spend about 4.5% of GDP to achieve sustainable development. Infrastructural growth related to electricity demand, clean water demand, fuel demand, transportation demand, and construction demand are expected to boost the market for corrosion inhibitors in the next five years. The global spending on infrastructure is expected to reach USD 94 trillion by 2040, and an additional USD 3.4 trillion would be required to attain United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals for electricity and water, according to Oxford Economics. Countries in APAC, including China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam, will be the fastest-growing and account for nearly 50% of the global infrastructure spending by 2040, according to an Oxford Economics study. Due to the increasing consumption of industrial water in emerging economies, the opportunity is being created for manufacturers to offer a wide range of corrosion inhibitors to various specific applications in order to protect them from corrosion.

The global corrosion inhibitors market size is projected to reach USD 10.1 billion by 2026 at a CAGR of 4.9% from 2021. The increasing demand for corrosion protection chemicals in various end-use segments coupled with stringent regulatory and sustainability mandates concerning the environment is driving the market for corrosion inhibitors.

Water Treatment application will account for the major share of the corrosion inhibitor market, based on application in terms of value.

Water treatment accounted for 44.4% of the total corrosion inhibitor market in terms of application, in 2020. Corrosion can cause many concerns such as rusting of pipelines, equipment surfaces, and lowered efficiency of the equipment mainly in the industrial sector. Feed water use in various industries contains carbon dioxide which is corrosive to steel. If this carbon dioxide is left untreated, iron deposits on the boilers. These corrosion inhibitors are fed downstream of the deaerating equipment. It is volatilized and carried out with the steam after reacting with carbon dioxide. Corrosion inhibitors for boiler treatment include neutralizing and filming amines for condensate linings. Morpholine, cyclohexylamine, diethylethanolamine (DEAE), aminomethyl propanol, and aqua ammonia octadecylamine (ODA) are some of the common corrosion inhibitors used to protect boiler systems from corrosion.

The Middle East & Africa region is the second fastest-growing region for the corrosion inhibitor market, in terms of value.

The region has emerging markets, such as Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Iran, Kuwait, and South Africa. The region has established oil & gas and chemical & petrochemical industries due to the abundant availability of natural resources. The oil & gas industry in the region is growing at a steady pace due to rising exports and increased exploration of reserves. Huge investments, rising population, growing disposable income, and integration of production activities are likely to increase output in the form of fuel and feedstock and, in turn, drive the corrosion inhibitors market.

Major players operating in the global corrosion inhibitor market include Solenis (US), Nouryon (The Netherlands), Baker Hughes Company (US), Ecolab (US), BASF SE (Germany), SUEZ Water Technologies & Solutions (France), DOW Chemical Company (US), Lubrizol Corporation (US), Lanxess (Germany), and Henkel Corporation (Germany).
