Key Growth Drivers
- Water scarcity i.e. lack of freshwater resources to meet the regular demand of water consumption for public usage drives the growth of the Global Water and Wastewater Treatment Equipment Market.
- According to UNICEF (United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund) which is an agency of the United Nations that provides humanitarian and developmental aid to children around the globe, stated that “Four billion people — almost two-thirds of the world’s population — experience severe water scarcity for at least one month each year”.
- The high installation, operational, and maintenance cost of wastewater treatment plants is one of the biggest challenges for the Global Water and Wastewater Treatment Equipment Market.
- The cost of a wastewater treatment plant directly affects the global Water and Wastewater Treatment Equipment Market as this equipment is majorly installed in wastewater treatment plants such as membrane separation and disinfectants.
- The COVID-19 pandemic slowed the growth of Global Water and Wastewater Treatment Equipment Market, owing to the shutdown of production activities in various industrial areas including water and wastewater treatment equipment manufacturing units. As a result, production showed a decline in Water and Wastewater Treatment Equipment market.
Key Trends by Market Segment
By Equipment: The Membrane Separation segment held the largest market share in 2021 of the Global Water and Wastewater Treatment Equipment Market.
- The growth is primarily as the Membrane Separation process is purely physical and uses less energy in water treatment as compared to other equipment.
- The Membrane separation equipment follows the process where a membrane is used to separate waste materials from the water thus allowing only clear water to pass from the membrane.

By Application: The Industrial segment held the largest market share in 2021, owing to the strict laws for industrial facilities regarding the release of wastewater from their manufacturing units.
- The Indian Government Water Law of 1974 revised in 2003 stated that the manufacturing industries have to install meters to determine the amount of water used by the Manufacturing unit as well as the industry should include operations, processes, treatment, and disposal systems that use water and generate wastewater.
- In July 2019, the Municipality of Dubai, the UAE, launched an industrial wastewater treatment plant, which is able to produce 450,000 L of water in 24 hours that can be used for irrigation purposes.
By Process: The Primary Treatment segment accounted for the largest market share in the process segment in 2021.
- Primary treatment is the first way to for treating water in a wastewater treatment plant, the primary treatment process includes the direct removal of sedimentation and solid waste from the water.
- It is highly effective and low in cost as the process requires less amount of equipment for water and wastewater treatment. Hence, primary treatment is widely adopted by many industries.
