Green chelates (GLDA & MGDA) are environmentally friendly compounds designed to bind and sequester metal ions. Chelating agents work by surrounding metal ions, forming stable complexes. Unlike traditional chelating agents, which may have harmful environmental impacts, green chelates are derived from sustainable, biodegradable, and non-toxic materials.
Green chelates offer a sustainable alternative to traditional agents in cleaning products and detergents, helping companies meet sustainability goals and attract environmentally conscious consumers. In agriculture, the potential of biodegradable chelating agents in enhancing plant productivity and nutrient uptake, is being explored further, opening new opportunities for the market expansion.
The global green chelates (GLDA & MGDA) market stood at a volume of around 96.78 Kilo Tons in 2025. The market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.40% between 2026 and 2035 to reach a volume of about 148.86 Kilo Tons by 2035. The key factors propelling the green chelates (GLDA & MGDA) market are the increasing environmental concerns and the growing demand for biodegradable and sustainable cleaning solutions, such as laundry detergents, dishwasher, and household cleaners, over chemical-based formulations.
The homecare sector is the leading consumer of green chelates (GLDA & MGDA), accounting for around 45% of the market share.
