Key markets include activated carbon systems, membrane systems, media filtration system and zero liquid discharge systems. The key topics included in the report are competitive landscape, technology analysis, regulatory framework and comprehensive profiles of key players.

The economic importance of water is expected to increase sharply with the growing imbalance in water demand and supply, and a steady rise in water prices. Water is no longer a low-cost commodity that was hitherto taken for granted. Global water crisis is likely to worsen in the coming years due to population explosion, increasing industrialization and overexploitation of resources. Water scarcity is sure to lead to business disruptions across all sectors. Water and wastewater treatment in industrial facilities has been the subject of increased focus and is expected to translate into increasing demand for industrial water and wastewater treatment equipment in the coming years. Companies that identify these trends at an early stage and proactively implement strategies for wastewater treatment recycle and reclamation of water will have an edge over their competitors. To this end, industries are increasingly embracing membrane based technology for treatment of industrial water and wastewater. Stringent regulations on industrial water use and wastewater discharge will continue to offer sales growth of water recycling system.

Stringent Regulations on Industrial and Municipal Wastewater Discharge will Continue to Drive the Growth of Wastewater Treatment and Recovery Systems

Stringent legislation on effluent discharge will continue to boost the demand for wastewater treatment and recovery technologies, such as membrane-based systems, activated carbon, and media filtration, among others. Acting as a primary driver, legislative directives have revitalized the wastewater treatment and recovery equipment market and enhanced the growth prospects for secondary and tertiary recycling. The aim is to promote water conservation by treating and reusing wastewater. These legislative directives have placed enormous pressure on industries to clean up their wastewater. The local water regulations are keen to adopt international regulations, for example China recently adopted regulatory systems from the US Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) practices. International regulations are expected to replace local and national regulations, thereby driving growth in the adoption of wastewater treatment and recovery technologies. International regulations are expected to supersede some of the local and national regulations — driving growth and introduction of new products in the industry. This trend is likely to favor global conglomerates and drive further consolidation in the industry.

Wastewater Treatment and Recovery Systems Market is Expected to Reach $29.4 Billion in 2020

The global wastewater treatment and recovery systems market was worth $3.8 billion in 2005 and grew at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 11% over 2005–2009, to reach $5.8 billion in 2009. The global wastewater treatment and recovery systems market was estimated to be $6.5 billion in 2010. The global wastewater treatment market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 16.3% to reach $29.4 billion in 2020. Stringent discharge limits, increasing water scarcity, growing population, and increased environmental awareness among different sections of the society are playing a significant role in the promotion of wastewater treatment and recovery technologies across the globe. The growing pressure on finite and fragile water resources creates the need for wastewater treatment. Rapid increases in population and economic development will lead to an increase in the demand for commodities such as food, housing and basic sanitation infrastructure. Strict government regulations and legislations on wastewater discharge for the industrial and municipal sectors drives the need for wastewater treatment and recovery systems. Municipal bodies are left with no other option than to treat the wastewater for sanitation facilities. Environmental awareness by governments and various private players has also resulted in rapid growth in the adoption of wastewater treatment and recovery technologies.

Asia-Pacific (APAC) Region is expected to Witness the Highest Growth for Wastewater Treatment and Recovery Systems Market

The Asia-Pacific (APAC) wastewater treatment and recovery systems market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 18.7% during the forecast period 2010–2020 to reach $11.1 billion in 2020. Asia-Pacific’s share of wastewater treatment sales will grow from 29.5% in 2009 to 37.8% in 2020. Developing nations such as China and India are playing a crucial role in the demand for wastewater treatment and recovery systems. In the activated carbon market, China is the largest producer, along with the US. The trend of shifting business units to APAC countries due to cheap infrastructure and labor and raw material availability is going to lift the wastewater treatment and recovery systems market in the APAC region. Industry experts expect India to be the next emerging market for wastewater treatment and recovery systems. By 2011, the growth in India will be either more than or on a par with the growth of China, in terms of activated carbon production. Advanced wastewater treatment and recovery systems such as membrane systems are also expected to have significant manufacturers based out of the APAC region in the future.

Membrane Treatment Systems will be the Cornerstone of Growth for Wastewater Treatment and Recovery Systems

Membrane systems, one of the increasingly popular wastewater treatment and recovery technologies, witnessed a CAGR of 11.5% during 2005–2009. The total market size for membrane systems for wastewater treatment and recovery was estimated at about $5.4 billion in 2009. Increased legislative enforcement on industries and municipalities will continue to drive the market for these systems. During the period 2010–2020, membrane technology is expected to be one of the emerging wastewater treatment and recovery systems markets. The ability to generate high quality water and combine the two stages of filtration and biological treatment into a single process will drive this market. GBI Research estimates the wastewater treatment and recovery membrane system market will grow at a CAGR of 16.6% and reach $28.3 billion in 2020. Membrane technologies including reverse osmosis, nano-filtration, micro-filtration and ultra-filtration are among some of the most coveted technologies in the wastewater treatment and recovery industry. Increasing volume production and technological improvements have reduced the capital and operating costs of membrane systems to the point that membrane treatment is now seen as a viable alternative in many wastewater treatment and recovery applications. Declining costs are stimulating the membrane wastewater treatment growth in the municipal sector.
