Cationic reagents are surface active substances with positive ions that are used to create tiny lumps of minerals that are not achievable with other negative ioned reagents such as soaps or oleic acid. These substances can be used as flocculants, dry-strength additives for paper, emollients, retention aids, electro-conductive resins, surfactants, and asphalt emulsifiers.
These reagents are non-combustible and miscible with water and lower alcohols. There are two kinds of cationic reagents: 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyltrimethyl ammonium chloride (CHPTAC), and 2,3 epoxypropyl trimethylammonium chloride (EPTAC). Cationic Reagents are commonly employed in the water treatment, textiles, chemical processing of personal-care products, and pulp and paper processing.
In the historical period of 2018 to 2022, the cationic reagents market has observed a CAGR of 2.8%. Whereas, in the projection period, the market is anticipated to witness a higher CAGR of 3.5%.
The reason behind this slight increae in CAGR in the assessment period is attributed to the rebound of global economy after the COVID-19 pandemic that boosted the demand for energy and consumer products like personal care & textile products. For instance, the consumption of 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyltrimethyl ammonium chloride (CHPTAC) in several end-use industries, such as oil and gas, textile, paper, personal care, and water treatment, among others for cationization applications will fuel the market growth across the globe.
As the global economy and end-use segments expand due to rising per capita disposable income, demand for these positive ion reagents is likely to rise throughout the forecast period.
How will recovery and organic growth of oil & gas industry will support the market growth?
“Recovery from downturn and organic growth of the oil & gas industry to drive the market growth”
Recovering oil and gas prices, together with increased demand for oil and gas from end-use sectors such as plastics, chemicals, and polymers, are the key reasons driving the oil and gas industry's expansion.
With the gradual recovery of oil and gas prices, some manufacturers are focusing on the construction of new facilities as well as the completion of previously planned production facilities that were put on hold during the slump.
Manufacturers are concentrating on the development of oil and gas distribution networks (i.e. transportation pipes) to meet increased demand for oil and gas and assure a continuous supply of oil and gas to end-use industries around the world.
As cationic reagent is a critical material widely employed in the oil and gas sector for guar gum cationization, its demand is projected to be driven by the aforementioned organic growth and development of the oil and gas industry.
Why there is huge demand for cationic reagents in cotton industry?
“Extensive utilization of cationic reagents as a cotton cationizing agent to propel the market growth”
Cotton cationization has evolved into an effective and efficient tool for the dyeing industry, assisting in the reduction of environmental difficulties associated with the use of anionic dyes. Cationized cotton has a greater bleach rate, less colour bleeding, and a high migration index when compared to regular cotton.
In terms of characteristics and dyeing effects, cationized cotton dyed with acid dyes is a far superior choice to cotton dyed with reactive dyes. Furthermore, this method is less harmful to the environment.
As a result, there is a strong demand for cationizing agents in the dyeing sector, which keeps the demand for cationic reagents high.
What factors can negatively impact the growth of cationic reagent market?
“Hazardous effects of excessive exposure to 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyltrimethyl ammonium chloride (CHPTAC) on human health impeding the sales of cationic reagents”
3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyltrimethyl ammonium chloride (CHPTAC) is a non-combustible chemical though it releases flammable and toxic vapors on heating. The dermal and inhalation exposure to this chemical during its production, end-uses, and loading operations can have a negative impact on human health.
There is a minor possibility of consumer’s exposure to CHPTAC through residues present in end-use products such as cosmetics, newsprint, copy paper, and food contact materials, which are manufactured using cationic starch or proteins.
Increasing awareness about the potential risks associated with dermal and inhalation exposure to these cationic chemicals might hinder its applications, in turn, negatively impacting the growth of the cationic reagents market. Adoption can also be hampered by regulations concerned with the limited use of reagents in manufacturing a range of products.
Which grade of cationic reagent will create significant growth opportunity in forecast period?
“69% cationic reagent segment is estimated to witness a substantial growth over the forecast period”
Based on grades, the 69% cationic reagent segment is in significant demand due to its widespread use in the textile, paper & pulp, and oil & gas sectors. The growing importance of 69% grade can be signified to the growing requirement of cationization of starch in the textile and paper sectors. The demand for cationic reagents for drilling of mud in the oil and gas industries has also been identified as driving growth in the 69% cationic reagent market. As a result, the sector is expected to lead and generate significant opportunities in the cationic reagents market during the forecast period.
What is the prominent end use segment in cationic reagent market?
“the paper & pulp industry is a prominent segment consuming cationic reagents”
Among applications, the Paper & Pulp Industry segment accounts for a significant proportion of the global cationic reagents market. Cationic reagents is popular for cationization of starch and frequently used in paper & pulp production. The growth in paper and pulp industry across the globe will directly impact on the demand of cationic reagents from the industry. As per the PMR estimation, paper and pulp segment is anticipated to generate more tha 40% of the absolute dollar opportunity of the global market.
Which regions to provide ample growth opportunites in market?
“East Asia and south Asia to provide huge growth opportunities in market”
East Asia and South Asia are the key regions contributing to the growth of cationic reagent market. Rising spending capabilities, changing lifestyles, and increasing awareness towards personal care have boosted the consumption of personal care and cosmetic products in these regions. The inclination towards a hard & fast lifestyle and increased hygiene & sanitation awareness have elevated the growth of the packaging industry. As a result, the region is anticipated to have significant growth in end-use sectors like textile, personal care, water treatment and paper & pulp. These factors make East Asia and South Asia promising markets with ample of growth opportunities.
Why is North America a key market for cationic reagents?
“Flourishing oil & gas industry makes North America a key market for cationic reagents”
North American countries like the U.S. and Canada have witnessed a quick rebound in oil & gas industries, particularly after the COVID-19. This growth is flourished due to the ongoing Russia-Ukriane war, rising the demand for oil & gas from European countries. Cationic reagents like 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyltrimethyl ammonium chloride (CHPTAC) are excessively used in oil & gas industries as mud drilling chemical, will also experience a surge in demand due to ongoing crisis. Apart from this, the textile, water treatment and paper & pulp industries in North America are growing with a steady rate that also consume cationic reagents on Largent extent. Owing to these reasons, North America is a key market for cationic reagents.
The global cationic reagents market is majorly consolidated. The intensity of participation in the market is less and only a few players hold prominent shares in the global cationic reagents market. Some of the manufacturers in the cationic reagents market focuses on captive consumption of 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyltrimethyl ammonium chloride (CHPTAC). The in-house produced chemical is consumed directly for cationization applications. Research and development for cationic reagents is another major focus across the global market participants. Significant amount of capital is invested in R&D for the development of new application areas of cationic reagents.
