Corrosion inhibitors are used in applications, such as water treatment, process & product additives, and oil & gas production in various end-use industries, including power generation, oil & gas and refinery, metal & mining, pharmaceutical and utilities, among others. Corrosion inhibitors are used for treating harmful water, preserving the life of metals & alloys in the above-mentioned end-use industries. They control the process of corrosion by slowing it in different parts of the industries and treating toxic water. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the chemical industry was severely impacted throughout the world. Disruption in the supply chain, reduction in workforce, restrictions in movement, and decline in demand due to global uncertainty hindered the growth of the chemical industry.
The oil & gas industry also saw a fall in demand due to the pandemic. Decreased output affecting revenue realization put a halt to the progress of many companies in these sectors. The pandemic caused widespread concern and economic hardship for consumers, businesses, and communities across the globe. The lockdown, owing to the pandemic in various countries, affected the transportation fuel demand. Travel bans, along with the grounding of international flights, had led to a heavy reduction in the consumption of Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF) across the globe.
However, the corrosion inhibitor market hasn’t been affected much and their demand remains in industries like oil & gas, pharmaceutical, etc.

The Middle East & Africa region is the second fastest-growing region for the corrosion inhibitor market, in terms of value.
The region has emerging markets, such as Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Iran, Kuwait, and South Africa. The region has established oil & gas and chemical & petrochemical industries due to the abundant availability of natural resources. The oil & gas industry in the region is growing at a steady pace due to rising exports and increased exploration of reserves. Huge investments, rising population, growing disposable income, and integration of production activities are likely to increase output in the form of fuel and feedstock and, in turn, drive the corrosion inhibitors market.
Major players operating in the global corrosion inhibitor market include Solenis (US), Nouryon (The Netherlands), Baker Hughes Company (US), Ecolab (US), BASF SE (Germany), SUEZ Water Technologies & Solutions (France), DOW Chemical Company (US), Lubrizol Corporation (US), Lanxess (Germany), and Henkel Corporation (Germany).
