Water & Wastewater Treatment: United States Market Scenario, Trends, Opportunity, Growth and Forecast, 2020-2030

Market Definition

Physical, biological, and chemical processes are used to treat water and wastewater. Water scarcity, expanding urbanization and industrialization, rising global population, and rigorous environmental restrictions are all factors that contribute to the growth of water and wastewater treatment market.

Depending on the properties of the wastewater and the desired end use, wastewater treatment is a sequence of physical, chemical, and biological operations that remove contaminants from wastewater to make it appropriate for other uses or for safe disposal into the environment. This procedure uses a number of primary, secondary, tertiary, and advanced techniques to get rid of various contaminants, whose size, toxicity, and dissemination may differ. Wastewater treatment is required to uphold legislation, safeguard public health, the environment, and water resources.

 Market Insights

United States water & wastewater treatment market stood at $25.34 billion in 2022 and expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 6% during the forecast period. Municipal segment accounts for majority of the share. The wastewater treatment sector is vibrant and expanding quickly, with an emphasis on sustainability and innovation. Governments, municipalities, industrial facilities, and private businesses are just a few of the many players in the wastewater treatment sector. Wastewater treatment has made great progress in recent years, growing along with the economy and overcoming significant obstacles to market expansion. Growing the amount of treated wastewater is dependent on the economy’s strong economic growth. Market expansion is also directly impacted by the growth of end-use industries like oil and gas, chemicals, dairy, food and beverage, paper and pulp, pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, and others. These industries handle a substantial amount of wastewater that is produced internally.

Market expansion is supported by rising water consumption for diverse industrial purposes and favourable regulatory regulations. For factories in all industries, handling wastewater is a significant difficulty. Government laws requiring the management and treatment of wastewater before to discharge into public waters have serious consequences for some sectors. Wastewater has a variety of uses across numerous industries. For example, steam and water are used in power plants, chemical factories, and petroleum refineries for a variety of operations, such as desalination, fluid catalytic cracking units, steam generators, and cooling towers.

At various stages, the creation of wastewater follows various steps. Wastewater enters septic tanks, sewers, and other areas if it is collected. It is immediately released into the environment if it is not collected. Primary, secondary, tertiary, and advanced treatments can all be used to treat accumulated wastewater. Depending on the application, requirements, or safe release into the environment, treated wastewater may be reused.

Market Dynamics: Drivers

Declining Fresh Water Resources

A significant driving force behind the development of wastewater treatment technology is the depletion of freshwater supplies. To reduce water pollution, wastewater discharges were processed and treated as a result of rapid urbanisation and industrialization. Governments and regulatory bodies are implementing water and wastewater treatment technologies to reduce water pollution and make fresh water available for a variety of uses in an effort to reduce water scarcity. Many businesses develop technology that enable the recycling of water and wastewater to produce fresh water for various end-use applications. In the upcoming years, it is projected that the market for wastewater and water treatment technologies will be driven by approaches for water conservation, proper sewage management, and support for the availability of clean and fresh water.

Market Dynamics: Challenges

High Cost

To treat water and wastewater, sophisticated systems and technologies are needed, and costs rise as complexity increases. According to the standards for water quality, treatment facilities need to treat the water, purify the processes, separate the wastewater, or use a mix of all these operations. Water and wastewater treatment facility costs vary depending on the location, kind, design, and cost of operation of the facility. The state of the flow rate systems, the effluent system’s quality, the type of input water, and the building materials to be employed are also taken into account.
