Injectable Drug Delivery Market
Research Report and Overview on Injectable Drug Delivery Market, 2015-2025
Ferric sulfate is a whitish yellow crystalline compound. It is acidic in nature and is corrosive to copper,
copper alloys and galvanized steels. It is soluble in water and is hygroscopic in nature. It can be extracted
from its ores such as mikasaite, lausenite and kornelite among others. Commercially, it is manufactured
by oxidizing ferrous sulfate. The largest application of ferric sulfate is in waste water purification.
The growing awareness towards health is the primary driver for the growth of ferric sulfate market. The
presence of various harmful chemicals and suspended particles in water are undesirable and need to be
clarified in order to make it suitable for consumption. Ferric sulfate is used to coagulate contaminants
and make water potable. Another key driver for the market of ferric sulfate is the growing
semiconductors industry. Double distilled water is used in the semiconductor industry. One of the
preliminary steps to obtain double distilled water is the use of ferric sulfate. The growing electronic and
micro chips industry is driving the market of ferric sulfate and is expected to continue this trend in the
forecast period. Ferric sulfate is however, highly acidic. When ferric sulfate comes in contact with skin it
causes severe burns. Thus, the storage and handling of ferric sulfate has to be conducted with extreme
caution and is expected to hinder the growth of the mar ket. The growing GDP of BRICS nations is
expected to open new areas of opportunities for the ferric sulfate market. Additionally, ferric sulfate is
used as an alternative to aluminum salts for water purification, since the presence of aluminum in
treated water is undesirable and a cause of concern to many. This is expected to increase the usage of
ferric sulfate in waste water treatment, in the forecast period.
