water treatment chemicals market
The water treatment chemicals market is estimated to be valued at US$ 40.53 Bn in 2023 and is expected to
exhibit a CAGR of 6.6% over the
forecast period 2023-2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent
Market Insights.
Market Overview:
Water treatment chemicals are used for purification of water and removal of
contaminants. They help in coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation and
filtration processes to obtain potable water for industrial and municipal uses.
They are utilized in end use industries such as power, oil & gas, mining,
chemical, food & beverage and municipal.
Market Dynamics:
The global water treatment chemicals market is primarily driven by stringent
regulations regarding wastewater discharge from industries and municipalities.
For instance, according to the United States Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA), the Clean Water Act was passed in 1972 which prohibit discharge of
pollutants from point sources into water bodies unless allowed by permit. Other
major driver is growing demand for clean water from various end use industries
such as power generation, chemical manufacturing, mineral processing, and oil
& gas exploration. Municipal potable water treatment is another major
application driving the growth of this market. Furthermore, water scarcity
issues especially in developing regions has prompted industries and
municipalities to adopt water reuse and recycling practices which require
effective water treatment chemicals. This is expected to fuel market growth
over the forecast period.
Strengths:
- Large customer base with increasing demand from industries and
municipalities.
- Wide product portfolio offering various chemicals for different water
treatment applications.
- Continuous technological advancements to develop sustainable and eco-friendly
water treatment solutions.
Weaknesses:
- Stringent regulations for production and usage of certain chemicals.
- High R&D costs associated with development of innovative products.
Opportunities:
- Growing focus on reclamation and reuse of water to tackle water scarcity
issues worldwide.
- Emerging markets in Asia Pacific and Latin America expected to offer new
business opportunities.
Threats:
- Volatility in raw material prices affects the overall production costs.
- Availability of alternative water treatment technologies poses competition.
