MGDA, or Trisodium Dicarboxymethyl Alaninate, is a biodegradable, eco-friendly chelating agent primarily used in cleaning formulations, personal care products, and various industrial applications. It belongs to a newer generation of chelating agents designed to replace traditional, less environmentally benign compounds like EDTA (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid), NTA (Nitrilotriacetic acid), and phosphonates. As a salt of methylglycine diacetic acid, MGDA functions by binding metal ions such as calcium, magnesium, and iron, thereby softening water and improving the efficiency of detergents and cleaning formulations. Its high stability across a wide pH range, strong sequestration performance, and excellent biodegradability (readily biodegradable according to OECD 301 tests) make it an ideal choice for environmentally conscious formulations, particularly where regulatory or consumer-driven sustainability demands are high.
MGDA’s commercial appeal is growing rapidly as industries and governments across the globe phase out persistent, non-biodegradable substances from everyday products. Regulatory bodies such as the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have increasingly encouraged the reduction of environmentally persistent and potentially harmful chelating agents like EDTA and NTA. In this context, MGDA has emerged as a viable and scalable alternative due to its favorable environmental profile and its functional parity—if not superiority—to traditional options. It is especially prized in applications like household cleaning products (dishwashing liquids, laundry detergents, surface cleaners), industrial and institutional (I&I) cleaning, personal care (shampoos, skin cleansers), and even agricultural and water treatment formulations.
The demand for MGDA is being fueled not only by environmental regulation but also by a broader shift toward "green chemistry" principles, particularly in the consumer goods and chemical manufacturing sectors. Multinational companies in home and personal care, such as Procter & Gamble, Unilever, and Henkel, have made public commitments to phasing out legacy chelating agents and moving toward biodegradable alternatives, thereby creating strong commercial traction for MGDA. In addition, the rise of “eco-label” certifications (e.g., EU Ecolabel, Nordic Swan, and EPA Safer Choice) is reinforcing demand for chelating agents like MGDA that align with green standards. This trend is especially pronounced in developed regions such as Europe and North America, although demand is also accelerating in emerging markets like China and India, where environmental regulations are becoming more stringent and eco-conscious consumerism is on the rise.
While MGDA is generally more expensive than older chelating agents on a per-kilogram basis, its superior performance (allowing for lower dosage), biodegradability, and regulatory compliance often justify the premium. Additionally, the total cost of ownership for formulators—including sustainability reporting, brand equity, and environmental compliance—makes MGDA a cost-effective long-term alternative. Technological improvements and economies of scale are also gradually reducing production costs, which could make MGDA more accessible for cost-sensitive markets and increase its use in volume-driven sectors like institutional cleaning and large-scale industrial formulations.
In conclusion, MGDA represents a compelling example of innovation in sustainable chemistry. It combines strong performance characteristics with superior environmental credentials, addressing the growing need for green, effective, and safe chelating agents. As regulatory and consumer pressures continue to favor environmentally friendly formulations, MGDA is well-positioned to gain market share across a broad array of industries, ultimately contributing to the global movement toward a more sustainable and responsible chemical economy.
BASF, and Nouryon are the top 2 companies in global MGDA market and account for about 90% of total market share. Geographically speaking, Europe holds about 50% of global market share, followed by North America with about 30% share.
