Market Definition
Antiscalants are added into feed water before it flows through the RO membrane. The infusion of antiscalants prevents scale formation by delaying the reaction time between magnesium and calcium, thereby allowing the water to be purified by RO systems seamlessly. In thermal desalination (MSF, MED) antiscalants are added to the feed water to prevent scale formation in boilers, cooling towers, and other equipment.
Market Insights
The Middle East Antiscalant Market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of around 6% during the forecast period, i.e., 2021-26. The low availability of groundwater and increasing demand for desalination plants across the Middle East are the prime factors driving the antiscalant market. The constant degradation of the water quality index owing to the mounting transport & industrial pollution levels is astronomically fueling the need for reverse osmosis water treatment, which, in turn, is augmenting the demand for Antiscalants across the region.

Further, the demand for antiscalants is also increasing across industries like Oil & Gas, Metal & Mining, Water Treatment, and Power Generation. This is because they help reduce the maintenance & operational costs and saves time. The Middle East accounts for a large share of the global oil reserve. Therefore, the increasing demand for antiscalants from the oil & gas industry is projected to drive the market in the coming years.
