India Water and Wastewater Treatment Market Overview, 2028
Water and wastewater management is an exciting sub segment of India's environmental technology sector. Various government efforts, including the Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation, the National Mission for Clean Ganga, the Jal Jeevan Mission, and Community Drinking Water Schemes, contribute to the expansion of the Indian water and wastewater treatment business. The Indian government established the Jal Shakti Ministry in May 2019, uniting all water-related agencies under one ministry in order to ensure clean drinking water for the people of India. The Jal Shakti Ministry quickly established the Jal Jeevan Mission, which aims to supply piped drinking water to 146 million homes in 700,000 villages by 2024. The mission has allocated $51 billion to states in order to raise home water connection coverage from 18.33 percent in 2019 to 100 percent by 2024. Water meters, water quality monitoring systems, water management-related IT systems, tertiary treatment technology, and water-related engineering, procurement, and construction firms will benefit from this ambitious undertaking. The coastal states of Tamil Nadu and Gujarat are pioneers in the construction of desalination facilities to increase drinking water supply. Some firms are also constructing desalination plants to suit their processing water needs. Some power companies, oil refineries, iron and steel plants, distilleries, cement plants, and fertilizer facilities, for example, are following the reuse, recycle, and zero liquid discharge principles to better control water usage and improve their environmental performance.
According to the research report ""India Water and Wastewater Treatment Market Overview, 2028,"" published by Bonafide Research, the India Water and Wastewater Treatment market is projected to grow at 15.93% CAGR from 2023 to 2028. The government's increasing laws to avoid pollution of naturally occurring water bodies and illicit wastewater discharge have helped market expansion. In huge Indian cities where the urban population is constantly rising, wastewater treatment facilities are required to maintain a balance between population and freshwater availability. NRCP has so far covered contaminated portions of 34 rivers in 77 towns distributed across 16 states in the country, at a cost of Rs. 5961.75 crore, and has developed a sewage treatment capacity of 2677 million liters per day (mld). A total of 353 projects totalling Rs. 30458 crore have been sanctioned under the Namami Gange initiative, comprising 157 projects for sewage treatment of 4952 mld and a sewer network of 5212 km. Water scarcity is a major concern in India, particularly in areas with poor rainfall and depleted groundwater levels. Because of this scarcity, efficient water management and treatment are required to maintain an adequate supply for drinking, agriculture, and industrial usage. With nearly a billion inhabitants, India is one of the world's most densely populated countries. High population density puts enormous strain on water resources and wastewater management systems, necessitating the development of scalable and effective treatment methods. India's industrial landscape is diversified, and many industries discharge wastewater into bodies of water without proper treatment. This industrial pollution endangers water quality and demands sophisticated treatment methods.
Based on type market is divided into water and wastewater treatment equipment and water and wastewater treatment chemicals. Water and wastewater treatment chemicals type is expected to dominate the market of India. India faces major issues in providing clean and safe drinking water as well as controlling wastewater. The country is dealing with difficulties such as contaminated water sources, excessive levels of pollution, and insufficient sewage treatment facilities. The use of treatment chemicals is critical to addressing these issues. India has a large and growing population. As the population grows, so does the need for water, and as a result, more water must be cleansed and wastewater managed. To meet this demand, chemicals are required to efficiently cleanse and filter the water supply. India's industrial sector is rapidly increasing. Industries produce a significant volume of wastewater, which frequently contains pollutants and chemicals that must be treated before being discharged into the environment. Chemical treatment is critical to ensuring that industrial effluents meet regulatory standards. Based on water and wastewater treatment chemicals market is divided into coagulants & flocculants, disinfectants & biocidal products, scale & corrosion inhibitors, antifoam chemicals, pH adjusters and stabilizers, and others (oxidizing agents, chelating agents, odor control chemicals, precipitants, color removal agents, sequestrants, biodegradable surfactants, etc.). Coagulants and flocculants are powerful tools for eliminating suspended solids and colloidal particles from water and wastewater. India frequently experiences high levels of turbidity and suspended particles in its water sources, which can render drinking water dangerous. Coagulants aid in the binding of these particles, whereas flocculants aid in the precipitation and removal of these particles, enhancing water clarity. Water quality and wastewater disposal are strictly regulated in India. Coagulants and flocculants are frequently required to meet regulatory requirements by ensuring that treated water and effluents meet authorized criteria.
Based on water and wastewater treatment equipment market is divided into membrane separation, biological, sludge treatment, disinfection, and others (sedimentation and clarification, ion exchange, etc.). Membrane separation technologies like microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, and reverse osmosis are extremely successful at removing a wide range of contaminants from water and wastewater. These membranes are perfect for increasing water quality since they can efficiently filter out particles, germs, viruses, dissolved solids, and even salts. Water scarcity is a problem in India, particularly in areas with limited access to freshwater sources. Desalination uses reverse osmosis (RO) membranes to transform brackish water and seawater into freshwater suitable for drinking and industrial applications. India's rapid urbanization has resulted in greater water demand as well as higher levels of industrialization. Membrane separation technology can handle both municipal and industrial wastewater treatment needs, making it a versatile solution for various applications.
In terms of application market is divided into municipal applications and industrial applications. India has had tremendous industrial expansion in a variety of areas, including manufacturing, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, textiles, and food and beverage. With rising industrialization comes an increase in the production of industrial effluent that must be treated before release. This increases the demand for water and wastewater treatment solutions customized to industrial needs. Water scarcity is a major worry in many parts of India. Industries are having difficulty acquiring appropriate freshwater sources for their processes. As a result, they are investing in water treatment technologies such as membrane filtration and recycling systems to optimize water consumption and reduce reliance on external water supplies. The Indian government has implemented a number of incentives and initiatives to encourage enterprises to adopt cleaner and more sustainable practices. These incentives frequently involve financial assistance or tax breaks for investing in wastewater treatment and recycling systems. Based on industrial applications market includes, food and beverage, pulp and paper, power generation, oil and gas, healthcare, chemical and petrochemical and others industries (textile manufacturing, mining, automotive manufacturing, construction, metal extraction, poultry and aquaculture, etc.). Among them food and beverages are the major industrial applications of water and wastewater treatment in India.
