Global Disodium EDTA Market Report and Forecast 2024-2032

According to the report, the global disodium EDTA market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.30% between 2024 and 2032. Aided by regulatory approval of disodium EDTA and extensive use in cosmetics and personal care products, the market is expected to grow significantly by 2032.

Disodium EDTA, or Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid Disodium Salt, is a commonly used chelating agent that binds to metals in aqueous solutions. Due to its effectiveness in sequestering the metal ions that may impede the stability and appearance of various products, it is widely used in multiple applications, ranging from cosmetics and personal care products to food preservatives and industrial cleaners.

The increasing consumer demand for high-quality, long-lasting products across several industries is a prominent disodium EDTA market trend. In the cosmetics and personal care sector, disodium EDTA is used to maintain the integrity and improve the stability of products by binding with metal ions, thereby preventing deterioration and maintaining clarity and appearance. Its inclusion in formulations can extend product shelf life and improve safety.

The food and beverage industry also extensively uses disodium EDTA as a preservative due to its ability to prevent colour and flavour degradation, thus maintaining the desired taste and appearance of packaged food products. The ongoing growth in the global processed food market is expected to further drive the disodium EDTA market demand.

Moreover, the pharmaceutical industry utilises disodium EDTA in a range of applications, including as a stabiliser in medicinal solutions and to detoxify the body from heavy metal poisoning - a process known as chelation therapy.

Disodium EDTA’s role extends beyond food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. One of its significant uses is in the water treatment sector, where it helps to manage scale formation and improves the effectiveness of certain cleaning agents. Additionally, it is used in pulp and paper manufacturing as a bleaching agent, helping to improve the efficiency and sustainability of the process.

Asia Pacific, led by China and India, is expected to hold a substantial disodium EDTA market share, owing to the rapid expansion of the manufacturing sectors in these countries. Europe and North America are also significant markets due to the established and diverse industries that utilise disodium EDTA, including large cosmetics, pharmaceutical, and food & beverage sectors.
