QUATERNARY AMMONIUM COMPOUNDS MARKET ANALYSIS

Market Challenges And Opportunities

However, earlier research has established an association between quaternary ammonium compounds and a range of health issues such as reproductive effects including fertility problems and birth defects, gastrointestinal risks such as vomiting, nausea, and respiratory problems. Higher concentration of QACs can also result in hypotension, convulsions, coma, and death. Furthermore, fluctuating costs of raw materials are expected to restrain growth of the market over the forecast period. Also, strict regulations placed by environmental agencies such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Act, and other such organisations are expected to hamper demand for quaternary ammonium compounds in the future.
