The "Water Treatment Market, Till 2035: Distribution by Type of Treatment, Type of Application, End-User, Type of Investment, Type of Enterprise, and Geographical Regions: Industry Trends and Global Forecasts" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The global water treatment market is poised for significant growth, with its size projected to expand from USD 295.3 billion in the current year to USD 632.9 billion by 2035, marking a CAGR of 7.17%. This surge reflects the critical need for effective water treatment solutions, driven by escalating water scarcity issues highlighted by the UN World Water Development report.
Water Treatment Market: Growth and Trends
With nearly half of the global population experiencing water scarcity annually, the significance of water treatment cannot be overstated. This process eliminates contaminants to ensure water suitability for consumption, industrial use, and environmental conservation. There is an increasing demand for high-performance adsorbents in both industrial and municipal contexts, which is driving the market forward.
By preventing fouling in filtration and desalination systems, antiscalants enhance membrane durability and operational effectiveness, offering benefits like improved water quality and compliance with health standards. Rapid advancements in wastewater management technologies and increased public awareness are accelerating the adoption of water treatment across key industries. Alarmingly, over 2 billion people still lack access to safe drinking water services.
Technological innovations are transforming the market, with cutting-edge membrane technologies improving contaminant removal while reducing energy consumption. Carbon-based purification techniques, using materials like activated carbon and graphene, efficiently capture pollutants such as micropollutants and organic substances. The integration of modular water treatment systems and exploration of the desalination market are anticipated to drive remarkable growth.
Water Treatment Market: Key Segments
Segmented by treatment type, the market includes membrane bioreactors, micro-filtration, nano/ultra-filtration, preliminary treatment, reverse osmosis, sludge management, and others. Currently, preliminary treatment dominates due to its foundational role. However, reverse osmosis is expected to grow faster, attributed to its contaminant elimination efficiency and versatility in various water contexts.
In application type, wastewater treatment holds the largest share due to municipalities' need to provide safe drinking water and manage increasing biological waste. Zero liquid discharge is projected to grow at a higher rate, influenced by stringent environmental regulations and heightened awareness of wastewater impacts.
When segmented by end-user, the commercial sector leads, driven by urbanization, commercial infrastructure development, and social responsibility initiatives. Based on investment type, private sector investments currently dominate, driven by cost-effective advances in water treatment technologies.
Large enterprises, capable of investing in sophisticated technologies and achieving economies of scale, lead when segmented by enterprise size. Geographically, North America holds the largest market share due to strict environmental regulations, technological investments, and urban growth. Meanwhile, Asia is expected to grow more rapidly due to urbanization, industrialization, and government water treatment initiatives.
