The global sequestrants market size is worth around USD 819 million in 2024 and is anticipated to reach around USD 2,411 million by 2034, growing at a CAGR of 11.4% from 2024 to 2034.
Chemical substances known as sequestrants or chelating agents stabilize food by complexing metal ions that catalyze hydrolytic reactions and breakdown processes. As a preservative, they help goods stay fresher for extended periods of time by prolonging their shelf life. The need for sequestrants is primarily driven by the food and beverage industry, which includes the baking and confectionery, water treatment, chemical and textile, and pharmaceutical industries.
Products like shampoo, detergents, and soaps that contain sequestrants help create and retain more foam and scent, which appeals to customers who want a lot of upkeep. Over time, they also enhance the product's performance, texture, and appearance. In skincare and cosmetics, EDTA and citric acid are often used as sequestrants. North America now controls most of the global sequestrants market because of the increased demand for pharmaceuticals, improved water treatment goods, and food preservation products. Due to the region's growing population and industrial sector, Asia-Pacific is predicted to increase at the quickest rate during the projection period. Another factor driving up demand for sequestrants is the expansion of China's laundry, food, and brewing industries. They enhance laundry formulas, product shelf life, and food and beverage product quality.
