The growing concerns associated with the toxic nature could restrain the phosphonates market dynamics, specifically with respect to demand and application. Phosphonates are widely used as antiscalants and chelating agents in water treatment and pulp & paper manufacturing. The wastewater produced during these processes contains high amount of phosphonates, which when combined with the environment or aquatic system can have an adverse impact due to low biodegradability.
However, the ongoing developments in the field of enzymatic degradation of phosphonates, and the production of bisphosphonates are anticipated to help overcome the current associated challenges, adding a positive influence on the market expansion.
