Ferric Chloride Market Overview
Ferric chloride is an industrial scale chemical, which exists in amorphous solid and liquid form. It is widely used as a coagulating agent in water treatment plants and as an etching agent in metal and electronics industries. Ferric chloride is widely used as a concentrated solution with 40% w/w minimum concentration.
According to MRFR analysis, the global ferric chloride market is estimated to register a healthy CAGR of 4.65% by the end of 2024.
Based on grade, the global ferric chloride market has been segmented into anhydrous, ferric chloride hexahydrate lumps, and ferric chloride liquid. Among these, the ferric chloride liquid segment held the largest market share and is estimated to exhibit a healthy CAGR during the assessment period owing to its increasing use in water treatment applications in municipal wastewater and potable treatment plants.
On the basis of application, the global ferric chloride market has been classified into wastewater treatment, metal surface treatment, potable water treatment, electronic etchants, printed circuit boards (PCBs), pigment manufacturing, catalyst, asphalt blowing, and others. The wastewater treatment segment is expected to account for the largest market share in 2018, owing to stringent regulations regarding water safety. The potable water treatment segment is projected to register the highest CAGR in the following years on account of growing adoption of the product to remove phosphorous from water.
By end-use industry, the global ferric chloride market has been categorized into pharmaceuticals, chemicals, electronics, metals and metallurgy, municipal wastewater treatment, municipal potable water treatment, and others. The municipal wastewater treatment segment dominated in 2018 owing to increasing adoption of ferric chloride in treating industrial effluents. The electronics segment is estimated to register the highest CAGR during the review period owing to the growing demand for the product in the etching of PCBs in electronic circuits.
