Water Treatment Chemicals Market Analysis

Water treatment chemicals treat polluted or used waters from several end-use sectors, including industrial and commercial sectors in water treatment plants. The growing oil & gas sectors are one of the significant growth drivers of the water treatment chemicals market. The increasing gas and oil production increases the threat of toxic waste flowing into the free water bodies or the environment. Worldwide crude oil production increased by 1% in 2023, with higher output in Brazil, the United States and Iran offsetting, and the global production increased by 0.6 million in 2024. BASF SE, Ecolab Inc. and Solenis LLC are significant manufacturers in the worldwide market for Water Treatment.

Analyst’s Observation on Japan Water Treatment Chemicals Market Survey

Japan goes through coastal water pollution because of pesticides, petroleum, hydrocarbons, dioxins, the integrated circuit industry, dibenzofurans and several enclosed estuaries that are severely polluted. The water pollution in Japan is primarily because of the industrial discharge, untreated domestic waste and agricultural runoff. It has a wide variety of constituents, such as metals, plastics and industrial chemicals. Marine pollution in Japan is a crucial threat to coastal countries, and it is one of the world’s largest plastic consumers and 2nd highest per capita plastic waste producer, recycling only 21% of its plastic waste. The increasing water pollution is one of the significant growth drivers of the water treatment chemicals market. ASAHI CHEMICAL & INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD is one of the significant players in the Japanese Water Treatment Chemicals market.

Water Treatment Chemicals Market Growth Driver

Growing awareness towards safe and clean water:

With growing awareness toward safe & clean water and administrative regulations towards wastewater processing, demand for clean water is continuously rising. As of 2022, about 2.2 billion people do not have access to safely managed drinking water. 4 out of 5 people lacking fundamental drinking water services in 2022 resided in rural areas. One in 4 people is not able to use a safe source of drinking water, and around 2.4 billion people reside in regions, which are defined as water-stressed countries, as explained by nations that derive 25% of their renewable freshwater sources to satisfy the water crisis. The growing awareness for safe & clean water is one growth driver of the water treatment chemicals market.

Market Restraint

Integration systems with legacy systems

The launch of several nanotechnology-based technologies is reducing the application of chemicals in water purification. Such alternative ways are a market restraint for the growth of water treatment chemicals market size. The growing concern regarding the influence of chemicals on the ambience has led to strict regulatory restraints for water treatment chemicals manufacturers.

Water Treatment Chemicals Market Regional Synopsis

Asia Pacific dominates the Water Treatment Chemicals due to the high demand from regions such as Japan and China. The rise of manufacturing and service sectors such as municipal, food & beverage, power generation and chemical are likely to push the demand for water treatment chemicals. In the 1st half of 2024, total trade in services reached USD 501 billion, an increase of 14% yearly. The Chinese organizations in the manufacturing sector registered a 1.3% expansion in sales revenue as of October 2024, an increase of 2.2% points compared to the previous year and the Chinese manufacturing exports have risen to 20% by 2020 from 3% in 1995. Further, since the commencement of operation in June 2020, Zhangdian Project Phase I in China has been providing stable and superior quality water treatment service to the organizations in the Zhangdian East Chemical Industry Park. In 2022, Everbright Water initiated to execution Zhangdian Upgrading and Expansion Project to satisfy the increasing demand for industrial wastewater treatment from the organizations in the chemical industry park and to actively execute the relevant needs of the specialized working team committed to water resources security and utilization of Zibo City.

Asia Pacific is anticipated to witness the fastest growth in the worldwide water treatment chemicals market due to increasing natural gas production in areas such as China and India. In 2024, the oil demand in India displayed a growth of 220,000 barrels each day to reach 5.57 million barrels per day, a surge of 4.19% from 2023. By 2045, the oil demand in India is projected to reach 11 million barrels every day, and that of diesel is predicted to double to 163 MT. In 2022-23, the natural gas consumption was around 164.3 million metric standard cubic meters per day, and the demand is expected to grow to 250 mmscmd by 2025. Further, in regions such as India, the Union Budget 2022-23 has apportioned USD 7.2 billion to increase the tapped water coverage to 38 million households, a 33% upsurge over the revised approximation expenses in 2021-22.
