Global Potassium Permanganate Market

The global potassium permanganate market has grown at a CAGR of more than 14% during 2010-2017. Market growth can be attributed to increasing use of potassium permanganate in water and wastewater treatment industry.

According to IMARC Group’s new report, titled “Potassium Permanganate Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2018-2023”, the global potassium permanganate market reached a value of US$ 612.4 Million in 2017, exhibiting a CAGR of nearly 14% during 2010-2017. Potassium permanganate, also known as potash of permanganate or Condy’s crystals, is a dark purple crystalline compound with a sweet taste. It is generally used as an oxidising agent and disinfectant. The chemical industry employs potassium permanganate to synthesise organic compounds for various processes. Owing to its bactericidal and algicidal properties, it is used in water and wastewater treatment industries. Presently, the demand for potassium permanganate is increasing owing to the increasing government regulations regarding disposal of wastewater. As a result, the global potassium permanganate market is further expected to reach a value of around US$ 1133.1 Million by 2023, growing at a CAGR of 10.8% during 2018-2023.
