pH Adjuster Market Segmentation:

Form Segment Analysis

The liquid segment is predicted to gain the largest market share of 51.6% during the projected period by 2035, due to dosing convenience, speed at which the liquid is soluble, and lower hazards of operational hazards and exposure/protective equipment in both operations and warehouses. Sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid, nitric acid, sulfurous acid, carbonic acid, and citric acid are preferred over powdered forms. The U.S. National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences has cited liquid pH-adjusting agents as critical for maintaining consistency within the waste treatment process and reducing worker exposure risk.  

Application Segment Analysis

The water treatment segment is anticipated to constitute the most significant growth by 2034, with 47.2% market share, mainly due to increasing global shortages in freshwater resources. The U.S. Geological Survey cites nearly 47% of treated water from water facilities requires pH control to meet safe drinking standards. Industrial effluents and increasing environmental compliance through regulated discharge requirements are key drivers.

Type Segment Analysis

The acids segment is anticipated to constitute the most significant growth by 2034, with 42.2% market share, mainly due to their massive application as neutralizing agents in alkaline wastewater streams and are utilized in the municipal and industrial water treatment process. As an example, sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid are recognized through the U.S. EPA as the major acidifier utilized in the adjustment of pH in wastewater treatment to achieve final discharge compliance standards.
