Global EDTA Disodium Salt Dihydrate Market Strategic Research Report

Scope of the Report

The global EDTA Disodium Salt Dihydrate market size is predicted to grow from US$ 191 million in 2025 to US$ 258 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.5% from 2026 to 2032.

EDTA Disodium Salt Dihydrate (EDTA-2Na) is a white crystalline powder and an excellent metal ion chelating agent. It can form stable water-soluble complexes with various metal ions and is widely used as a water treatment agent, stabilizer, antioxidant, masking agent in the dye industry, and additive in the pharmaceutical industry. It has high water solubility and a strong binding capacity for various metal ions.

Upstream core raw materials include sodium cyanide (or hydrogen cyanide), ethylenediamine, formaldehyde, and sodium hydroxide. The production of sodium cyanide is subject to strict safety and environmental regulations, directly determining the capacity release of midstream enterprises. The midstream stage involves synthesis and deep processing, with the current mainstream process being the light sodium cyanide method. Downstream applications are extremely wide-ranging, covering industrial water treatment, textile printing and dyeing, food processing, pharmaceutical preparations, and agricultural fertilizers.

Global sales in 2025 are estimated at approximately 130,000 tons, with a market price typically between US$1320 and US$2050 per ton. The industry's gross profit margin is typically between 10% and 20%.

EDTA-2Na holds a significant position in the chelating agent field due to its superior metal ion complexing ability, extremely high chemical stability, and unparalleled cost-effectiveness. The industry's driving factors primarily stem from the refined upgrading of downstream industrial systems and the deepening of agricultural modernization.

Firstly, the continued growth of the global personal care and toiletries market, especially the increasing consumer demands for transparency and stability in products such as shampoos and shower gels, has solidified EDTA-2Na's position as a water softener. Secondly, in modern agriculture, the widespread adoption of chelated micronutrient fertilizers has significantly improved crop mineral absorption efficiency, becoming a new engine for demand for EDTA-related products. Furthermore, the textile printing and dyeing industry's pursuit of perfect color uniformity, and the rigid demand for scale inhibition efficiency in industrial circulating water treatment, together constitute the underlying logic for the industry's steady growth.

In the future, market focus will shift from basic crude product supply to refined specifications with high purity and low heavy metal residues to meet the needs of high-end applications such as semiconductor cleaning and biopharmaceutical testing.
