The Global 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 Water Treatment Chemicals Market Definition

Water treatment chemicals are used in applications, such as treating used or polluted water from various end-use industries, including residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. They are generally used to treat contaminated water in water treatment plants. Water treatment chemicals are used for the treatment of water & wastewater and change the physical & chemical properties of water for municipal and industrial applications. The most widely used process in the region is desalination which uses coagulants, scale inhibitors, and biocides on the large scale.

Global Water Treatment Chemicals Market Overview

With rising awareness toward clean & safe water along with the government regulations toward wastewater processing, there is an increase in demand for water treatment chemicals. In North America and Europe, the market for water treatment chemicals is already well established. The market growth in these regions is mainly attributed to the rise in water quality and strictly following environmental regulations.  Additionally, the market is expected to witness promising growth in the Middle East and Africa owing to the growing adoption of a saline water treatment in order to fulfill the increasing water demand.

The region emerged as one of the prominent consumers of industrial chemicals owing to the large consumption of water for industrial sectors such as petrochemical and oil and gas. The Water Treatment Chemicals Market for flocculants and coagulants, defoamer, corrosion inhibitor, and pH booster among others are expected to experience exponential growth owing to the rapid development of the industrial sector and urbanization. As there is a significant decrease in freshwater resources coupled with stringent rules and regulations, the demand for these chemicals is estimated to remain high over the forecasted period.

In addition, the introduction of a number of nanotechnology-based technologies is helping in the reduction of the use of chemicals in water treatment. Such alternative technologies are a restraint for the growth of the market. The increasing concern regarding the impact of chemicals on the environment has led to stringent regulatory constraints for water treatment chemicals manufacturers.
