New Phytoextraction Strategies Help Stakeholders Tackle Issues of Heavy Metal Pollution in Soil

Innovations in phytoremediation are creating incremental opportunities for manufacturers in the metal scavenging agents market. The prevalence of heavy metal pollution is one of the key drivers for the metal scavenging agents market. Companies are increasing their production capacities of chelating compounds as stakeholders involved in phytoremediation are increasingly benefitting from heavy metal tolerance, with the removal of toxic ions in sensitive sights.

Stakeholders in the metal scavenging agents value chain are adopting new strategies for phytoremediation. These involve increased adoption of physical and chemical processes of chelation that are steering market growth. Another winning strategy to alter the metal availability in polluted soil is the technique of chelate-induced phytoextraction. Likewise, synthetic chelating agent ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) is found to reduce heavy metal pollution in soil.

Companies in the metal scavenging agents market are developing new biodegradable chelating agents such as nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) and ethylenediaminedisuccinic acid (EDDS) to enhance the efficacy of phytoextraction.

Carbon-based Nanomaterials Generate Incremental Opportunities for Manufacturers

Nanotechnology is an emerging concept in the metal scavenging agents market. Manufacturers are developing unique nanomaterials such as carbon-based and metal-oxide based nanomaterials for the removal of heavy metals from polluted water. This trend is advantageous for companies in the metal scavenging agents market, as carbon-based agents account for the second-highest volume amongst all agent types, with an estimated output of ~1,200 kgs by the end of 2027.

Nanomaterials are creating incremental opportunities in the metal scavenging agents landscape, since water treatment is predicted for the second-highest revenue in market, with an estimated value of ~US$ 3.6 million by 2027. Companies are increasing R&D to develop novel nanomaterials such as zero-valent metal and nanocomposites to tackle the issue of heavy metal pollution in water.

Apart from water treatment, companies in the metal scavenging agents ecosystem can increase the applicability of carbon-based nanomaterials in electronics industry, owing to their excellent thermal and electrical properties. Carbon nanotubes-based and graphene-based nanomaterials are gaining popularity as efficacious carbon-based nanomaterials.

Companies Adopt Environment-friendly Practices to Produce Improved Silica-based Scavengers

Lab innovations are giving rise to technologically-advanced metal scavenging agents. Companies are strengthening their manufacturing productivity to develop versatile agents that are compatible in batch flow and microwave processes. These drivers are benefitting stakeholders in the chemical end-use industry. To gain credibility in the global metal scavenging agents market, companies are adopting green and environmental-friendly technologies for the production of new compounds.

Companies are increasing their production capabilities of silica-based metal scavenging agents to cater to challenging purification processes in various chemistries. Silica gels are gaining increased popularity in new purification procedures. These gels are found to be efficacious in specific purification environments. Silica-based scavengers are increasingly replacing polymer-based scavengers, owing to their advantages of mechanical stability and faster kinetic abilities. Environmental-friendly practices are helping companies abide by stringent regulations laid down in the pharmaceutical industry.

8-hydroxyquinoline Derivatives Serve as Alternative Solution to CQ for Treatment of NDDs

New developments in metal-based drugs and chelating agents are creating a scope for new treatment options in neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs). This phenomena is relatable, since the pharmaceutical industry accounts for the highest volume in the metal scavenging agents market, with an estimated output of ~5,300 kgs by 2027.

Disruptive disorders affecting the brain are increasing the demand for efficacious metal-based drugs. This trend is leading to growth of the metal scavenging agents market. Other drivers such as high prevalence of Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disorder are further catalyzing market growth. Hence, companies in the metal scavenging agents market are increasing research efforts to understand the different factors related to NDDs, to introduce novel treatment methods and therapies in the healthcare landscape.

Clioquinol (CQ) is a novel chelating agent that is found to showcase promising results to reduce cognitive deterioration in patients. However, CQ cannot be used for large-scale synthesis, and has led to side effects such as the induction of myelinopathies in patients. Hence, manufacturers in the metal scavenging agents space are now increasing the production of second generation 8-hydroxyquinoline derivatives that are found to improve the quality of life in patients.
