Municipal Water Treatment Chemicals Market Size And Forecast

Municipal Water Treatment Chemicals Market size was valued at USD 38.97 Billion in 2020 and is projected to reach USD 60.96 Billion by 2028, growing at a CAGR of 9.31% from 2021 to 2028.

The market for Municipal Water Treatment Chemicals is being driven by rising demand for chemically treated water from various end-use segments, as well as strict regulatory and sustainability demands addressing the environment. Increased demand from the sugar and ethanol, fertilizer, geothermal power generation, petrochemical manufacturing, and refining industries, particularly in emerging economies, can also be ascribed to the growth. The Global Municipal Water Treatment Chemicals Market report provides a holistic evaluation of the market. The report offers a comprehensive analysis of key segments, trends, drivers, restraints, competitive landscape, and factors that are playing a substantial role in the market.

Global Municipal Water Treatment Chemicals Market Definition

The practice of eliminating insoluble materials such as rust, clay, fine sands, and toxic wastes that remain undissolved and result in total suspended solids is known as water treatment (TSS). As a result, municipal organizations are able to meet the demand for drinkable and treated water by employing a variety of chemical treatments to reduce TSS levels.

Global Municipal Water Treatment Chemicals Market Overview

What's fueling the growth in the water treatment chemicals business? Simpleeveryone needs clean water! Whether it's for our homes, farms, or factories, the demand for fresh, clean water is skyrocketing, especially in rapidly developing countries that are seeing a boom in industrial activity. This means they're likely to need even more water treatment chemicals than already developed nations. Plus, let's be honest, treating water with chemicals is often just easier on the wallet than fancy physical purification methods. Think about itadvanced technologies like ion exchange, UV filtration, and RO require some serious investment that isn't always feasible. While both chemical and physical purification have their place, processes like coagulation, flocculation, and disinfection are typically way more cost-effective for large water treatment plants compared to those pricier UV and RO options.

In 2015, Sulabh International, an Indian company, teamed up with 1001 Fontaines, a French nonprofit, to bring clean drinking water to Varanasi. They set up a plant where you could get a liter of chemically treated water for practically nothing – just 50 paise! Speaking of water treatment, the Municipal Water Treatment Chemicals market is really taking off, thanks to the booming power, oil & gas, mining, and chemical industries. This is especially true in fast-growing economies like China, Brazil, India, Indonesia, and a bunch of others. Think about itnew oil fields being discovered (like those pre-salt fields in Brazil), plus China and India building tons of power plants (using everything from fossil fuels to nuclear and solar power!), and the mining industry is exploding because everyone wants stuff for construction. All this activity is expected to drive the Municipal Water Treatment Chemicals Market even further in the years to come.

However, alternative water treatment technologies act as a barrier for this market. Chemicals are used in water treatment processes to a minimum thanks to improved technologies. Chemical treatment systems are being displaced to a significant part by the development of filtration and ultrafiltration technologies. Membrane research is a priority of the APAC region’s main water treatment companies’ R&D centers. Nano-engineered composite membranes have recently emerged as a new innovation in membrane technology. The increasing population and emerging industrialization in emerging economies is a great opportunity for this market to focus upon.

Global Municipal Water Treatment Chemicals MarketSegmentation Analysis

The Global Municipal Water Treatment Chemicals Market is segmented based on Type, Application, and Geography.

Municipal Water Treatment Chemicals Market, By Type

• Coagulants and Flocculants• Corrosion and Scale Inhibitors• Biocides and Disinfectants• Others

So, when we look at what kinds of chemicals are used, the market breaks down into a few main categoriesCoagulants and Flocculants, Corrosion and Scale Inhibitors, Biocides and Disinfectants, and then just a catch-all "Others" group. Now, it looks like Coagulants and Flocculants are going to be the real workhorses of the Municipal Water Treatment Chemicals Market, taking up the biggest chunk of the market in terms of how much is used. Why? Well, all sorts of industries, like electricity, oil & gas, and chemical and petrochemical plants, are increasingly relying on these chemicals to clean up their municipal water and wastewater. Think of coagulants as the guys who grab all the color and cloudiness out of raw water. They're like positively charged magnets that grab all the negatively charged dirt. You can find them in two main flavorsorganic and inorganic. Then you have flocculants. They’re like the helpers that make the dirty stuff clump together so it’s easier to filter out—think of them as supercharging the filtering process for those really tiny particles. Most of them are made from polyacrylamide and its cousins, and you'll find them in a few different varieties, like anionic, cationic, non-ionic, and amphoteric.

Municipal Water Treatment Chemicals Market, By Application

• Raw Water Treatment• Water Desalination• Cooling• Boiler• Effluent Water Treatment• Others

So, when we look at how this stuff is used, the market breaks down into things like Raw Water Treatment, Water Desalination, Cooling, Boiler applications, Effluent Water Treatment, and a bunch of other uses. Turns out, Raw Water Treatment is the biggest deal, making up over 45% of the market back in 2019! That's because industries are using it more and more for all sorts of things – chilling, making products, rinsing, and even turning it into drinking water if it's filtered right. It basically preps the water to help make things run smoother and faster. Now, Boilers are also super important, especially in the petrochemical biz. Treating boiler water is key to protecting all the parts and pipes from getting messed up by the gunk that's in the water.

Municipal Water Treatment Chemicals Market, By Geography

• North America• Europe• Asia Pacific• Rest of the world

Okay, so when we look at where the Global Municipal Water Treatment Chemicals Market is happening, we can break it down geographicallyNorth America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and, well, everywhere else! Back in 2019, North America was the big player, grabbing over 25% of the market. Looking ahead, the United States is predicted to keep growing, but at a more modest pace of around 2.4% each year. You can probably thank those tough government rules about how wastewater is handled for that. Meanwhile, in Asia Pacific, all the new factories, power plants, and manufacturing popping up should really drive demand for boiler chemicals and systems in those rapidly developing countries. Seems like things are heating up over there! Learn More
