The iron chloride market is growing rapidly due to the rising awareness regarding the properties of iron chloride that are used as flocculants and coagulants for eliminating impurities. Most of the growth is attracted from the expanding chemical processing industries, where iron chloride is highly utilized for catalyst production and other activities. The growing industrialization will maintain the demand for various electronics and metallurgy. The market has managed to excel in recent years, but the presence of other alternatives may limit the growth pace in the current business scenario. However, the Asian countries are bound to invest in water treatment projects to make the accurate use of the water for public needs.
The emergence of Artificial Intelligence is expected to enhance the overall chemical dosing procedures in the water treatment projects. AI is also expected to help in monitoring chemical usage and equipment to manage the needs. Additionally, the rising need for safer formulations is expected to increase ML and AI adoption in R&D projects.
