Global Water Treatment Chemicals (WTC) Market Expected to Grow from $22,351.3 Million in 2011 to $26,988 Million by 2016

 Chemical compounds used to remove impurities from water are water treatment chemicals. The consumption of water treatment chemicals in various applications such as municipal and industrial water depends on the source of water; which can be sea water, ground water, and municipal drinking water. Water availability, quality of water and usage pattern, presence of pollutants, government policies, and trade-offs among the various chemical compounds influences the demand for water treatment chemicals

Applications of water treatment chemicals are-

• Power plants
• Food and beverages
• Metal and mining
• Pulp & paper 
• Oil and gas
• Chemical processing                   

The kind of the water treatment chemical used and the amount of its consumption varies from location to location and it mainly depends on the water quality such as hardness, TDS (Total Dissolved Solids), pH, and alkalinity. Corrosion and scale inhibitors formed the largest segment of water treatment chemicals globally, in terms of consumption; followed by the coagulants and flocculants in 2010.
