Water Treatment Chemicals Market Size Outlook to 2030
The chart below provides the global Water Treatment Chemicals Market Size Outlook (US$ Billion) and Growth Forecasts (%), from 2021 to 2030
The global Water Treatment Chemicals market size stood at $41.5 billion in 2022. Further, strong end-user industry demand is driving the market outlook. From 2023 to 2030, the Water Treatment Chemicals market is likely to register a steady revenue increase at a compounded annual growth rate of 8.14 percent to reach $77.3 billion by 2030.
Robust market demand from end-user industries including residential and industrial sectors is encouraging the use of efficient water treatment chemicals. Consumers across developing and developed countries are deployed water treatment systems, which support the demand for water treatment chemicals.
Water Treatment Chemicals Market Opportunities- Coagulants and Flocculants held the dominant market share in 2022
The water treatment chemicals industry analysis presents a comprehensive analysis of different types of chemicals including coagulants and flocculants, corrosion and scale inhibitors, biocides and disinfectants, pH adjusters and softeners, defoaming agents, and others. Of these, the coagulants and flocculants market size stood as the largest segment in 2022.
Water Treatment Chemicals Market Trends- Water Demand-Supply imbalance mandates efficient water reuse mechanisms
The International Resource Panel’s report identifies that water demand will be 1.4 times the supply in 2030. This requires significant investment from governments of up to $200 billion in water supply sources. The projected shortage of water across several markets will result in significant demand for water reuse and wastewater treatment systems. Water treatment chemicals, with their high efficiency in the treatment of water and wastewater, will find significant demand from countries across the world, in particular, from municipalities. Chemicals such as coagulants and flocculants are the largest types of water treatment chemicals in use.
The industrial sector also ejects a significant volume of wastewater and stringent regulations being implemented for treating this water will support highly efficient water treatment chemicals such as coagulants, flocculants, defoamers, pH boosters, corrosion inhibitors, biocides, and others.
Water Treatment Chemicals Market Share Analysis- Industrial sector is the largest user of water treatment chemicals worldwide
Driven by rapid industrialization, stringent government regulations pertaining to water treatment encourage manufacturers to opt for water treatment chemicals. Industrial Water and wastewater treatment is the largest end-user application for chemicals, accounting for 41.3% of the global market share. Water treatment for consumption by humans requires the elimination of microorganisms, contaminants, large particles, and dissolved bio-macromolecules, such as pyrogens, proteins, viruses, and others. In particular, pathogenic contamination is considered one of the leading concerns of water quality worldwide.
The increasing human population and challenges related to the availability of clean and safe water promote the use of water treatment chemicals. According to the WHO, by 2025, half of the world's population will be living in water-stressed areas. Contaminated water can transmit diseases such as diarrhea, cholera, dysentery, typhoid, and polio. Contaminated drinking water is estimated to cause 485,000 diarrheal deaths each year.
Water Treatment Chemicals Market Drivers- Emerging countries present strong growth potential for water treatment chemicals
Water treatment chemicals are used across industries, municipalities, and residential customers for the treatment of water and wastewater. Growing concerns about potable water scarcity, coupled with stringent government regulations towards handling wastewater from industries are encouraging industries such as pharmaceuticals, chemicals, oil, and petrochemicals to adopt large-scale membrane separation systems.
A large population base coupled with growing government initiatives towards the reuse of wastewater will support the Asian, African, Latin American, and other emerging markets. Water contamination is one of the largest problems in several cities in China, India, Nigeria, and GCC and the governments are emphasizing promoting clean water supply through the widespread adoption of treatment mechanisms.
In particular, in Asia Pacific, the presence of large manufacturing sectors including electronics, pharmaceutical API production, textiles, oil and gas, chemicals, and other industries continue to opt for treatment chemicals driven by benefits such as compactness, low unit cost, ease of handling and maintenance, high efficiency, and wide availability.
China quickly recovered from the pandemic and industrial and manufacturing activity resumed quickly in China compared to most western countries. Accordingly, the negative impact of COVID-19 was relatively low during 2020 in the country. However, low consumer confidence and supply chain disruptions restricted market growth in industrial areas.
Water Treatment Chemicals Competitive Landscape-
The global water treatment chemicals industry is witnessing strong growth in investments from global and domestic companies. Several small and medium-scale companies are expanding their investments in the industry. Further, private investors are also increasing their investments amidst the strong growth potential of water treatment chemicals across applications. Leading global players such as BASF SE, Ecolab Inc, Solenis LLC, Akzo Nobel NV, Kemira OYJ, Baker Hughes, The Dow Chemical Company, Solenis LLC, Suez SA, and others continue to develop new products for niche application segments.
