According to a Research Report Published by Decisions Advisors & Consulting, The Canadian Metal Chelates Market Size is anticipated to Reach USD 63.51 Million by 2035, Growing at a CAGR of 6.26% from 2025 to 2035. The market is driven by the growing demand for high-yield agriculture and the pressing necessity to address micronutrient deficiencies in depleted soils in order to guarantee food security. Additionally, to optimize crop quality, the structural change towards precision agriculture requires these incredibly effective nutrient delivery systems.

Market Overview

To avoid agglomeration and ensure the mineral's bioavailability for plants, certain substances known as metal chelates are created by coordinating a metal ion with an organic ligand. The primary forces propelling the business are the growing global demand for high-yield agricultural production and the urgent need to correct deficiencies in micro nutrients in depleted soils to ensure food security.

A new collaboration between The Electron Metal AIG Inc. and The Next Step Agency was announced in October 2024. Through this partnership, Electron Metal will be able to serve more people in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba with our high-quality metal cabinets, racks, accessories, and custom solutions.

New multi-valent chelate technologies, like SB-MVC, are able to neutralize multiple metal ions present, reducing the need for multiple chelates. Chelation Partners Announces Issuance of U.S. Patent Covering Composition of Matter for DIBI and Related Compounds for Controlling Infections.

The metal chelates market is expected to increase as a result of the growing usage of agricultural chelates to improve crop yield, micronutrient deficiencies, soil degradation, and shrinking cropland.
