The demand for water treatment chemicals is increasing as municipal and industrial systems require treatment to produce safe, reusable water that meets operational needs and regulatory standards. The rising demand for advanced chemical treatment programs stems from organizations increased regulatory requirements to manage effluent discharge and water reuse processes, as well as their environmental sustainability efforts. End users now prefer multifunctional formulations that deliver high performance because these products can handle scale control, corrosion protection, biofouling prevention, and sludge reduction, which enables them to use fewer treatment solutions and achieve lower total operating expenses. Industrial water-intensive sectors such as power generation, oil & gas, chemicals, and manufacturing, as well as rapidly expanding data centers, drive ongoing demand for effective treatment chemicals.

"Corrosion inhibitors type is projected to have the third-largest market share by type, in terms of value, during the forecast period."

Corrosion inhibitors would hold the third-largest market by type, as they provide essential protection against asset damage while ensuring operational reliability in industrial and municipal water systems. The combination of aging water infrastructure and the use of metal-intensive equipment in boilers, cooling towers, heat exchangers, and pipelines has resulted in a significant increase in expenses for corrosion-related maintenance and for controlling corrosion failures. Industrial sectors, including power generation, oil & gas, chemical production, and manufacturing, need corrosion inhibitors to protect their equipment from damage, prevent system leaks and unplanned downtime, and support their energy consumption goals. The increasing use of closed-loop water systems together with high-cycle cooling operations and water reuse practices leads to greater corrosive ion concentration which increases the risk of corrosion and drives continuous demand for inhibitors.

"Boiler water treatment application accounted for the third-fastest-growing application, in terms of value, during the forecast period."

Boiler water treatment is the most significant and fastest-growing application market in water treatment chemicals, driven by increasing demand for efficient steam generation across industries such as power generation, oil & gas, chemicals, and food & beverage. To avoid scaling, corrosion, and furring, which may be extremely important to heat transfer effectiveness and equipment life, boiler systems must be carefully managed chemically. The heightened concern for energy efficiency and operational reliability has prompted the resort to use special chemicals, such as oxygen scavengers, corrosion inhibitors, and scale control agents. Also, the growth of industrial infrastructure, especially in Asia Pacific, is driving market growth, as the adoption of high-pressure boilers in the manufacturing industry and energy sector is on the rise.

"North America is expected to have the third-largest market in the water treatment chemicals market during the forecast period, in terms of value."

North America would hold the third-largest market share in the water treatment chemicals market primarily due to its highly developed water infrastructure, stringent environmental regulations, and strong industrial base. The region uses treatment chemicals in municipal and industrial systems because it has some of the world's strictest water quality and effluent discharge standards, which require continuous chemical usage for water treatment. The US and Canada water and wastewater infrastructure need higher chemical doses due to aging systems that require additional chemical treatment to maintain water quality, protect against corrosion, and extend equipment lifespan. North America also hosts a large concentration of water-intensive industries, including power generation, oil & gas, chemicals, food & beverages, pharmaceuticals, and rapidly expanding data centers, which consume high-value and specialty water treatment chemicals.

Zalando hat 2025 kräftig zugelegt und seine eigenen Ziele am oberen Ende der Spannen erreicht. Der Umsatz des im DAX notierten Online-Modehändlers stieg um 16,8 Prozent auf 12,35 Milliarden Euro und lag damit leicht über den Markterwartungen. Das Bruttowarenvolumen (GMV) kletterte um 14,7 Prozent auf 17,56 Milliarden Euro. Rückenwind bekam das Geschäft vor allem durch die Übernahme des Konkurrenten About You sowie den verstärkten Einsatz Künstlicher Intelligenz in Vertrieb und Plattformsteuerung.

Operativ verbesserte sich Zalando ebenfalls: Das bereinigte Ergebnis vor Zinsen und Steuern (EBIT) erhöhte sich auf 591 Millionen Euro nach 511 Millionen Euro im Vorjahr, die Marge blieb mit 4,8 Prozent stabil und leicht über den Analystenprognosen. Unter dem Strich sank der Gewinn jedoch auf 213 Millionen Euro von zuvor 251 Millionen Euro und verfehlte damit die Erwartungen. Für das laufende Jahr stellt das Management ein weiteres Wachstum von 12 bis 17 Prozent bei GMV und Umsatz in Aussicht; das bereinigte EBIT soll auf 660 bis 740 Millionen Euro steigen. Die mittelfristigen Ziele bis 2028 – jährliche Zuwächse von 8 bis 13 Prozent bei Umsatz und GMV sowie eine EBIT-Marge von 6 bis 8 Prozent – wurden bestätigt, die angepeilten jährlichen Synergien aus der About-You-Übernahme von 100 Millionen Euro sollen bereits 2028 und damit ein Jahr früher erreicht sein.

An der Börse sorgte vor allem die Kapitalmarktpolitik für Auftrieb. Der Konzern kündigte ein Aktienrückkaufprogramm von bis zu 300 Millionen Euro an, das bis Ende Juli laufen soll. Die Aktie legte im Tagesverlauf zweistellig zu und notierte zeitweise rund elf Prozent höher bei 22,35 Euro. Damit reagierte der Markt positiv auf die Kombination aus besser als erwarteten operativen Kennzahlen, bestätigtem Wachstumskurs und der Ankündigung, überschüssiges Kapital an die Anteilseigner zurückzuführen – obwohl die Zalando-Papiere seit Jahresbeginn deutlich im Minus liegen und in den vergangenen zwölf Monaten rund ein Drittel an Wert verloren haben. Analysten hoben neben dem Rückkauf insbesondere die Rolle von KI und das Konzept des sogenannten Agentic Commerce als nächste Entwicklungsstufe des Onlinehandels hervor.

Überschattet werden die guten Zahlen von strukturellen Einschnitten im Logistiknetz. Im Zuge der Integration von About You will Zalando vier Logistikzentren in Europa schließen, darunter den Standort Erfurt mit rund 2.700 Beschäftigten. Co-Chef David Schröter sprach von einer der schwersten, zugleich aber notwendigen Entscheidungen, um die Kapazitäten an den künftigen Wachstumsbedarf anzupassen. Das Unternehmen verhandelt nach eigenen Angaben mit dem Betriebsrat über einen Sozialplan, bietet Versetzungen an andere Standorte an und arbeitet mit der örtlichen Arbeitsagentur zusammen. Weitere Maßnahmen über die bereits angekündigten Schließungen hinaus soll es dem Management zufolge nicht geben; aus der Thüringer Landespolitik kommt dennoch Kritik an der Entscheidung.
