Report Description<br />

<strong>Sludge</strong> is produced largely from the treatment of waste water in the industries. It consists<br />

of pathogens, microorganisms and many other chemicals. Its disposal is expected to be<br />

one of the major environment related concerns in the recent years. The sludge generated<br />

has to be treated properly before disposal. Moreover, the reuse of treated sludge in<br />

agricultural processes is increasing the demand for sludge treatment. This has led to a<br />

rise in the demand for sludge treatment chemicals in the recent years. Coagulants and<br />

flocculants are used in the sludge treatment processes for removal of solids, sludge<br />

thickening, solids dewatering and many more. Coagulants are classified as organic<br />

coagulants and inorganic coagulants. Flocculants are of two types cationic flocculants and<br />

anionic flocculants. According to the environmental agencies, the volume of the sludge<br />

produced must be reduced. This is done by the sludge treatment chemicals. However, the<br />

global sludge treatment chemicals market is anticipated to witness a moderate single<br />

digit growth in the forecast period.<br />

<strong>Sludge</strong> <strong>Treatment</strong> <strong>Chemicals</strong> <strong>Market</strong>: Drivers and Restraints<br />

Rapid industrialization in the developing countries is increasing the production of sludge,<br />

thus making the removal of sludge important. This in turn, is expected to drive the<br />

demand for sludge treatment chemicals in the near future. Stringent government<br />

regulations pertaining to the treatment of sludge in industries is expected to boost the<br />

demand for sludge treatment chemicals in the upcoming years. Companies are striving to<br />

decrease the toxicity in the industrial sludge, thus the demand for sludge treatment<br />

chemicals is anticipated to boost in the forecast period.
