"Aquaculture segment is projected to be the fasting growing application segment of algaecides"

The application of algaecides in the aquaculture industry accounted for the largest share in 2015, and is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The fish and mussel farmers along the coastlines face the issue of frequent algal blooms in North America and Latin America; hence, a strong demand for algaecides is expected from the aquaculture sector in these regions in the next few years.

"Copper sulfate was the largest algaecide segment, by type, in 2015"

Copper sulfate solution is a traditional and most commonly used active ingredient to kill and control the growth of algae due to its effectiveness against all species of algae and its increasing usage in wastewater treatment. The quaternary ammonium compounds segment has been estimated to be the second largest algaecide type, in 2016.

"North America: The largest and fastest-growing algaecides market"

North America is projected to be the fastest-growing regional market between 2016 and 2022. It was also the largest market for algaecides in 2015. Nutrient pollution, which leads to algal blooms is one of the critical, costly, and challenging environmental problems which is widespread in North America. Hence, with the aid of efficient infrastructure, government initiatives, and innovations resulting from research & development, the algaecides market is projected to grow at the highest rate in this region.
