A
new research report by Transparency Market Research offers a
comprehensive evaluation of the global Algaecide
Market. The
study, titled “Algaecide
Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and
Forecast 2016 - 2024”,
is available for sale on the firm’s website.
Algaecide
Market: Overview
An
algaecide (also known as an algicide) is a biocide employed
specifically for the extermination and prevention of algae growth. It
falls under the category of pesticides. Pesticides and biocides are
often interchanged and mistaken for “plant protection products”,
when in reality, all biocides are also pesticides, but not vice
versa.
Biocides
comprise one or more active components and may have other non-active
co-formulants that act as inhibitors for the growth of organisms they
are designed to combat. Their efficiency is evident from their
desired viscosity, pH, odor, color, and other properties. Consumers
of biocides may be professional and/or non-professional. These
factors also apply to algaecides, since they are a form of biocides
that are regularly used in agriculture, forestry, medicines, and for
industrial purposes.

Common
examples of algaecides include copper sulfate, chelated copper
formulations, endothall, QAC, sodium carbonate peroxyhydrate
formulations, and peroxyacetic acid & hydrogen dioxide.
Algaecide
Market Trends
England
follows the trend of keeping Barley straws (a type of algaecide)
inside mesh bags and letting it float on the surface of water gardens
and fish ponds in order to reduce algal growth without causing any
harm to the aquatic life present. The United States environmental
protection agency (EPA) is yet to approve of the usage of Barley
straws as pesticides, as tests carried out in ponds by universities
of the United States and England have produced mixed results
regarding their effectiveness.
In
2008, global demand for biocides used in consumer goods and
industrial purposes was estimated at US$ 6.4 billion.
Since
biocides are designed to kill living organisms, they run a
significant risk of affecting human health and welfare. Algaecides
are chemicals that can be used in the form of powders, aerosols, or
liquids and pose threats of infection, inflammatory responses, and
other injuries if not handled carefully. Hence, it is advisable to
handle them with great care and make use of appropriate protective
clothing and equipment.
The
use of biocides can and may also have adverse effects on the natural
environment, which is why there are various legislations monitoring
their production and employment. Manufacturers are required to be
registered with the government or private associations. For instance,
the U.S. environmental protection agency (USEPA) oversees the use of
algaecides in and around regional aquatic habitats, while PAN
International is a conglomerate network of organizations spread
across Africa, Asia Pacific, Europe, Latin America, and North
America, with regional centers.
Algaecide
Market Segmentation
Based
on the algaecide’s physical state, this market can be divided into
the powder, aerosols, solid, liquid, and other categories. In terms
of grade, the divisions are reagent grade, technical grade,
analytical grade, bio-tech grade, and others.
By
product, the market can be split into the copper sulfate, chelated

farming, agriculture, sports & recreational centers, and others.
Algaecide
Market: Region-wise Outlook
In
2015, the algaecide market was dominated by North America which
constituted a major share in the market. A critical, widespread, and
expensive environmental problem in North America is nutrient
pollution. Regulatory framework is present in the region which lays a
strong emphasis on controlling this problem, especially in the U.S.,
which is a major propellant of algaecides in the region.
