Growth Opportunities for Sustainability and Circular Economy of Water in the Oil and Gas Industry, Global, 2024–2030

Growth Opportunities for Sustainability and Circular Economy of Water in the Oil and Gas Industry, Global, 2024–2030


Sustainable Water Management is Driving Transformational Growth
The global market for sustainable water management solutions in the oil and gas industry is experiencing robust growth due to several interrelated factors. Escalating water scarcity is pushing companies to seek alternative water sources and optimize their water usage. Concurrently, increasingly stringent environmental regulations on water discharge and disposal are compelling the industry to adopt more sustainable practices. Advances in water treatment technologies, coupled with innovations in digital solutions and nature-based approaches, are facilitating more efficient and cost-effective water management. The oil and gas sector is increasingly aware of the benefits associated with a circular water economy, which emphasizes minimizing freshwater withdrawal and wastewater discharge through effective treatment, reuse, and recycling within operational processes.

This Frost & Sullivan analysis delves into these growth opportunities, providing a detailed analysis of key market segments, including water and wastewater treatment equipment, design and engineering services, and operation and maintenance services, to highlight emerging trends and opportunities in sustainable water management.
