The study involved four major activities in estimating the market size of the antiscalants market. Exhaustive secondary research was done to collect information on the market, the peer market, and the parent market. The next step was to validate these findings, assumptions, and sizing with industry experts across the value chain through primary research. Both top-down and bottom-up approaches were employed to estimate the complete market size. Thereafter, the market breakdown and data triangulation procedures were used to estimate the market size of the segments and subsegments.
Secondary Research
In the secondary research process, various secondary sources have been referred to for identifying and collecting information for this study. These secondary sources include annual reports, press releases, investor presentations of companies, corporate documents, white papers, certified publications, trade directories, certified publications, articles from recognized authors, associations, gold standard and silver standard websites, and databases.
Secondary research has been used to obtain key information about the value chain of the industry, monetary chain of the market, the total pool of key players, market classification and segmentation according to industry trends to the bottom-most level, and regional markets. It was also used to obtain information about the key developments from a market-oriented perspective.
Primary Research
The antiscalants market comprises several stakeholders in the value chain, which include raw material suppliers, component manufacturers, manufacturers and end consumers. Various primary sources from the supply and demand sides of the antiscalants market have been interviewed to obtain qualitative and quantitative information. The primary interviewees from the demand side include key opinion leaders in end-use sectors. The primary sources from the supply side include manufacturers, associations, and institutions involved in the antiscalants industry.
Primary interviews were conducted to gather insights such as market statistics, data of revenue collected from the products and services, market breakdowns, market size estimations, market forecasting, and data triangulation. Primary research also helped in understanding the various trends related to type, application, process type and region. Stakeholders from the demand side, such as CIOs, CTOs, and CSOs were interviewed to understand the buyer’s perspective on the suppliers, products, component providers, and their current usage of antiscalants and future outlook of their business which will affect the overall market.
The breakdown of profiles of the primary interviewees is illustrated in the figure below:

Data Triangulation
After arriving at the total market size from the estimation process of antiscalants above, the overall market has been split into several segments and sub-segments. To complete the overall market engineering process and arrive at the exact statistics for all the segments and sub-segments, the data triangulation and market breakdown procedures have been employed, wherever applicable. The data has been triangulated by studying various factors and trends from both the demand and supply sides. Along with this, the market size has been validated by using both the top-down and bottom-up approaches and primary interviews. Hence, for every data segment, there have been three sources—top-down approach, bottom-up approach, and expert interviews. The data was assumed correct when the values arrived from the three sources matched.
Market Definition
Antiscalants are chemical additives that inhibit the formation and deposition of mineral scaling which occurs because of industrial processes and during water treatment in water treatment systems. They function by interfering with the crystallization by scale-forming salts such as calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate, and silica, preventing scaling and keeping them in solution form. Antiscalants find applications in power & construction, oil & gas, mining, municipal water treatment & desalination, food & beverage, chemical & pharmaceutical, and pulp & paper, among other industrial operations aimed at system efficiency, reduction of energy consumption, and extension of equipment life.
