Industrial Water Treatment Chemicals Market, Global, 2024–2030

Industrial Water Treatment Chemicals Market, Global, 2024–2030


Innovative Digital Platforms as Disruptive Technologies are Driving Operational Efficiency

With the rising need for chemical-based water treatment for effective industrial process water and environmental management, the need for water treatment chemicals is on the rise, with chemical-based methods playing a vital role in key processes of coagulation, flocculation, filtration, pH adjustment, disinfection, microbe control, scale and corrosion inhibition, antifoaming, and impurity removal operations. The growth of key end-use industries and their rising awareness of sustainable water treatment and their rising targets for treated water quality to achieve sustainability goals and changing regulatory requirements will be the main impacting factors for the global water treatment chemicals market for industrial applications until 2030.

This study segments the global industrial water treatment chemicals market by key chemical type, end-use industry, and treated water type. End-use industries include power generation, oil and gas, pulp and paper, chemicals, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, mining, and other end-use sectors comprising metals and metallurgy, textiles, leather tanning, and all other processing, services, and manufacturing industries combined. Coagulants, flocculants, activated carbon, pH conditioners, disinfectants and biocides, scale and corrosion inhibitors, antifoams, and other chemical types (ion exchange resins and chelating agents combined) are the types of industrial water treatment chemicals covered in this study. Growth of the end-use industries covered in the study will cumulatively contribute to demand growth for water treatment, thereby contributing to the demand growth for industrial water treatment chemicals.

For each chemistry type, regional volume consumption and regional revenue estimates are discussed, along with revenue and volume estimates by end-use industry application. The report examines market shares for the top industrial water treatment chemical manufacturers at the global level.
