Middle East and Africa Bioremediation Technology and Services Market Forecast to 2028 - COVID-19 Impact and Regional Analysis By Type (In Situ Bioremediation and Ex Situ Bioremediation), Technology (Phytoremediation, Bio Stimulation, Bioaugmentation, Bioreactors, Fungal Remediation, and Land-Based Treatments), and Services (Soil Remediation, Wastewater Remediation, Oilfield Remediation, and Others)
The bioremediation technology and services market in Middle East & Africa is expected to grow from US$ 449.94 million in 2021 to US$ 695.57 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.4% from 2021 to 2028. The increasing content of micro-nano plastics (MNPs) negatively impacts the environment and biological health. MNP invades the agroecosystems, flora, fauna, and the human body through microbes' transport, ingestion, and inhalation, which may lead to vascular obstruction, infertility, and abnormal behavior. Therefore, applying a new approach to remediate MNP from the natural environment is essential. Among the several prevailing technologies of MNPs remediation, microbial remediation is considered a greener technology. Microbial degradation of plastics is influenced by several biotic and abiotic factors, such as enzymatic mechanisms, substrates, co-substrates concentration, pH, oxidative stress, and temperature. Therefore, it is vital to acknowledge the critical pathways adopted by microbes to use plastic fragments as the only carbon source for growth and development. Thus, the rising level of MNPs in the natural ecosystem is expected to fuel the demand for bioremediation, which is likely to offer various growth opportunities for the bioremediation technology and services market players during the forecast period.
In Middle East & Africa, the UAE and Saudi Arabia recorded a significant number of COVID-19 positive patients. As MENA cities grow, especially on the coasts, recovery from the COVID-19 crisis calls for a greener, resilient, and inclusive development path to provide less-polluted cities for citizens. Cleaner coasts and oceans can secure millions of blue economy jobs through effective and resilient natural resource management. If the strategy includes nature-based solutions that benefit the environment, the region's natural capital, and resource efficiency, the resilient economic recovery will be inclusive.
Based on technology, the Middle East & Africa bioremediation technology and services market is segmented into phytoremediation, bio stimulation, bioaugmentation, bioreactors, fungal remediation, and land-based treatments. In 2020, the phytoremediation segment held the largest market share. Phytoremediation is a technology based on the combined action of plants and their associated microbial communities. The technology is used to degrade, remove, transform, or immobilize toxic compounds located in soils and sediments, as well as in polluted ground water and wastewater in treatment wetlands. Phytoremediation could be used to treat different types of contaminants, such as petroleum hydrocarbons, chlorinated solvents, pesticides, explosives, and heavy metals and radionuclides, in soil and water. The advantages of phytoremediation compared to conventional techniques are lower cost, lower disruptiveness to the environment, more public acceptance, and potentiality to remediate various pollutants. The use of plants in conjunction with plant associated bacteria (rhizosphere or endophytic) offers greater potential for bioremediation of organic compounds and in some cases, inorganic pollutants than using plants alone in bioremediation. The implementation of treatment wetlands for phytoremediation of wastewater or polluted water originating from various sources allows removing organic and inorganic pollutants from water in an environmentally friendly and economically feasible way. Presently, different processes of phytoremediation in treatment wetlands are less studied than phytoremediation of polluted soils. Further research is needed to advance the understanding of the pollutant removal mechanisms in treatment wetlands with vegetation. Therefore, the advantages offered by the technique drive the growth of the Middle East & Africa bioremediation technology and services market for the phytoremediation segment.
