Water Treatment Chemicals Market by Type (Corrosion Inhibitors, Coagulants & Flocculants), by Application (Municipal Water Treatment, Oil & Gas, Power Generation), by Region (North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East and Africa, South America,) – Global Forecast (2019 to 2027)

Water Treatment Chemicals Market: Summary

The Global Water Treatment Chemicals Market is expected to register a CAGR of around 5.8%, reaching a value of more than USD 76 billion by the end of 2027.

Water is a universal solvent, however, solids such as clay, fine sand, dust, and rust are not soluble in water. The contaminant water has undissolved clay, sand, etc. as well as dissolved organic matters, and traces of metals and oxides. Water treatment is done to remove these undissolved and dissolved particles. Treatment chemicals are used in polluted rivers, wastewater effluents, and seawater in order to make the water safe for human consumption.

Water Treatment Chemicals Market: Drivers & Challenges

Market Driver:

• Growing Demand for Water Treatment across Various End-Use Industries

Major manufacturing industries such as chemicals, oil & gas, food & beverage, mining, textiles, and others generate a large amount of wastewater on a daily basis. This water is loaded with a number of contaminants such as non-biodegradable chemicals, organic matters, and traces of metals and oxides. This necessitates the need for treating the effluent water, because, if not treated, the contaminated water may cause gastrointestinal problems, diarrhea, nausea, dehydration, and even death.

According to the UN-Water, globally,1.45 million people a year die as a result of diarrhea illness every year, 58% of which is caused by inadequate water, sanitation, and hygiene. 43% of the 1.45 million deaths occur in children aged five and below.

Thereby, the need for water treatment in end-use industries is likely to drive the global water treatment chemicals market.

• Stringent Government Regulations Favoring the Market Growth

Implementation of stringent regulations on the discharge of contaminated effluent is yet another driver of the global water treatment chemicals market. For instance, the US Environmental Protection Agency regulates the Clean Water Act, the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System, and the Safe Drinking Water Act, thus promoting water treatment.

Similarly, the European Union regulates the use of water treatment chemicals through regulations such as the Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive, Drinking Water Directive, and Water Framework Directive.

Therefore, the implementation of such regulations to balance the chemical oxygen demand and biological oxygen demand is propelling the market growth.

Market Restraint:

• Disadvantages of Chemical Treatment

The formation of disinfection by-products (DBPs) is a major restraining factor for the water treatment chemicals market. DBPs are formed during the reaction of oxidants with organic matter. Some of the DBPs include dichloromethylhydroxyfuranone (MX), potassium bromate (KBrO3), chloroform (CHCl3) and bromodichloromethane (DBCM), and bromochloromethane (BDCM). These by-products are proven renal carcinogenic or poisonous to kidneys. Chloroform causes damage to the liver and finally causes cancer. Moreover, 14-16% of bladder cancer cases are caused by disinfection by-products.

Other factors that may hamper the market growth include the maintenance of residual disinfection during storage, the handling and transport of dangerous chemicals, and the technically skilled labor required to run and maintain complex water treatment technologies.
