Report Scope

Corrosion inhibitors are chemical compounds that prevent or decrease the rate of corrosion of the exposed surface of metals or alloys. Corrosion inhibitors are available in solid, liquid, powder and gaseous forms. In this report, the market is segmented based on product type (water based, oil based and solvent based), end-user industry, chemical type (inorganic and organic), protection method (active and passive) and geographic region. The raw materials and key technologies used in corrosion inhibitors are also covered at length.

There is tremendous demand for corrosion inhibitors from industries such as oil and gas, concrete, refinery, water treatment process, power generation and metal. The equipment used in these industries is prone to corrosion and as a result the companies that own the equipment suffer tremendous production losses every year. Additionally, shale gas exploration, the development of power generation plants, growth in construction and water treatment processes will provide significant opportunities within the market for corrosion inhibitors. Many industrial machines, equipment, pipelines and parts used in power generation require the application of corrosion inhibitors on a regular basis to avoid deterioration and rusting, which is a very common occurrence in these sectors. The major types of products included in the report are water, oil and solvent based.

All of the major markets were further segmented by geographic region. The major geographic regions covered in the report are North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and the rest of the world (RoW). A country-specific breakdown of the market for corrosion inhibitors is also included in the report. Values were estimated based on the amount of corrosion inhibitors consumed by various end-user markets and revenues generated from the sale of corrosion inhibitors. The study covers the global market for corrosion inhibitors and is not limited to the countries included in this report. The selection of the countries to be included in this report was mainly based on the total revenue generated. Major countries included in the report are the U.S., Canada, Germany, the U.K., Spain, Italy, France, China, Japan and India.

The competitive landscape of the global market for corrosion inhibitors is discussed and includes profiles of the major companies and their product portfolios and recent developments.
