Water Treatment Chemicals Market Size, Share, Growth and Global Industry Analysis By Type & Application, Regional Insights and Forecast to 2024-2032
Growth Factors of Water Treatment Chemicals Market
The water treatment chemicals market size was valued at USD 35.36 billion in 2023, and the market is now projected to grow from USD 37.45 billion in 2024 to USD 61.05 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.3 % during the forecast period of 2024-2032.
The COVID-19 pandemic played a serious role in the water treatment chemicals industry. Initially, the lockdowns and slower economy created a crisis in the production and supply chains that, thus, resulted to a drop of demand from the key sectors, namely manufacturing and hospitality. Although the cleanliness and sanitation are the main factors that restrict the virus spread, the strictness of the cleanliness and sanitation in the residential and healthcare sectors has grown.
In addition, the environmental changes and the awareness of water safety have brought about the innovation and adaptation in the industry and hence the water treatment chemicals market is growing rapidly, this is because of the increase of the world demand for clean water and the tougher environmental regulations that the countries are setting. Many factors, for instance, fast industrialization, especially in the developing economies and the increased awareness of the need for water conservation, are the main players of the development of this sector. The whole industries and municipalities are endeavoring to meet the stricter requirements of water quality thus the demand for a variety of treatment chemicals are on the rise. All of these factors are amplifying the water treatment chemicals market growth.
Besides, the recent development of technology and innovation in chemical treatments are making the previously difficult or impossible to achieve solutions a lot more efficient and eco-friendly. This movement away from the traditional methods of production towards the eco-friendly ones is creating the investment opportunities and bringing into being the innovative products that are in turn leading to the growth of the market.
