The global primary water and wastewater treatment equipment market size is anticipated to reach USD 16.7 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 3.9% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Rising awareness regarding water pollution and environmental degradation is anticipated to boost the demand for wastewater management plants, thereby augmenting the market growth.
The construction of new housing projects is predicted to increase quickly, and the number of people utilizing centralized sludge management systems is expected to rise. These factors are expected to boost the demand for primary water and wastewater treatment equipment. Additionally, it is anticipated that capacity expansion and the development of new production facilities will have a beneficial impact on market growth.
The demand for primary treatment for industrial discharge and waste is expected to be driven by the stringent regulations enforced by the national governments, along with rising awareness regarding water and sludge management. Governing authorities in various countries are funding R&D for water and wastewater treatment, which is expected to fuel market growth.
In addition, companies are also trying to develop systems to increase primary treatment capacities where there is limited or less space or cost considerations to install more advanced treatment equipment. The use of primary treatment equipment such as screens or grit chambers is expected to grow in rural areas, especially in African countries where awareness about sewage treatment is beginning to grow.
The urban population growth and rising disposable income in the Asia Pacific and Central & South America regions are expected to promote the housing sector’s growth on a domestic level, thereby increasing the penetration of municipal sludge management facilities. This, in turn, will likely drive the demand for primary water & wastewater treatment equipment over the forecast period.
Some of the key market players include Xylem, Inc.; Pentair plc.; Evoqua Water Technologies LLC; Aquatech International LLC; Ecolab Inc.; and DuPont. The market players are constantly undertaking strategic initiatives such as mergers, acquisitions, partnerships, and new product launches to gain a competitive advantage. For instance, in January 2023, Xylem plans to acquire Evoqua. Evoqua engaged in the business of water treatment solutions for various end-use industries such as food and beverage, power generation, life sciences, and microelectronics. With this initiative, the company will expand its presence in Europe and North America markets.
