According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Ethylene Diamine Tetraacetic Acid (EDTA) market size was valued at US$ 529 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 794 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 6.2% during review period.
Ethylene Diamine Tetraacetic Acid(EDTA) is a typical polydentate chelating agent. Chemically, it is an aminopolycarboxylic acid organic compound. It is usually a white crystalline solid. It can form stable water-soluble complexes with calcium, magnesium, iron, copper and other metal ions. Its uses include water treatment, detergents, textile papermaking, agricultural chelated fertilizers, pharmaceuticals and analytical reagents. It is one of the most widely used synthetic chelating agents in the world. In 2025, global Ethylene Diamine Tetraacetic Acid(EDTA) production reached approximately 310,143 MT, with an average global market price of around US$ 1,657 per MT.
The demand structure continues to focus on water treatment, detergents and environmental protection-related applications. According to the latest statistics, the water treatment field has contributed nearly 30% of revenue and is one of the fastest growing downstream industries. The driving factors include the tightening of industrial sewage discharge standards and the improvement of recycled water utilization. The demand for chelation of heavy metals and hardness ions continues to increase. The regional focus is tilted towards the Asia-Pacific, especially emerging industrial countries such as China and India. Industrialization, urbanization and domestic cleaning agents and agricultural irrigation water demand in these areas have increased significantly. The local cost advantages have made the Asia-Pacific the core base for the production and marketing of EDTA and chelating agents. Environmental protection and regulations have brought about structural changes. On the one hand, concerns about EDTA's difficulty in degrading in the environment have prompted some developed regions to try biodegradable chelating agents in some scenarios. However, at the same time, more stringent water quality and product stability requirements have supported the demand for EDTA to a certain extent. Therefore, there is an overall trend of stock optimization, formula upgrades, and increment towards high value-added products.
