Solar Water Desalination Plant Market – Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity, and Forecast, 2018-2028Segmented By Membrane Process (Ultrafiltration Systems, Vacuum Evaporation and Distillation, Reverse Osmosis Systems, Paper Bed Filters, Solid Bowl Centrifuges, Tramp Oil Separators, Vacuum Filters, And Others), By Method (Solar-powered Humidification-Dehumidification (HDH) Desalination, Solar Diffusion Driven Desalination, Solar Membrane Distillation, Concentrated Solar Power (CSP)- based Desalination, and Solar Pond Desalination), By Industry (Industrial, Agriculture, Domestic, Municipal, and Commercial), By Region
Global Solar Water Desalination Plant Market is anticipated to develop rapidly during the forecast period, 2024-2028.
A solar water desalination plant converts sunlight into heat to produce potable water from saline water, brackish water, and wastewater via direct or indirect desalination. Water desalination can help to alleviate global concerns about climate change, carbon emissions, and freshwater contamination. Rising awareness about the benefits and properties of solar water desalination plants, such as technical simplicity, low maintenance requirements, cost-effectiveness, and ease of operation, is expected to drive market revenue growth over the forecast period.
Rising concerns about water stress levels, environmental degradation, and rising demand for fresh and clean water are key factors expected to drive market revenue growth over the forecast period. Rising demand for potable water, which is widely used for domestic and industrial purposes, is expected to drive revenue growth in the global solar water desalination plant market during the forecast period.
Increasing Government Regulations
Population and economic growth have led to an exponential increase in demand for water resources, with 36% of the world's population being in water-scarce areas. Therefore, the government is highly focused on solar water desalination plant from industries and manufacturing plants. Some of the government initiatives are:
- To meet the rising demand for water and lessen reliance on water from the Nile River, the Egyptian government allocated USD 2.5 billion in private investment by 2025 to build 17 solar-powered seawater desalination plants.
The municipal industry has a high CAGR contribution to the solar water desalination plant. Due to urbanization and the resulting expansion of urban infrastructure, which has increased demand for resources such as water and electricity, the municipal segment is anticipated to experience a strong revenue growth rate over the forecast period. Water that is fit for human consumption is provided to the world's urban population by the municipal sector. Moreover, it is expected that the municipal sector will experience an increase in demand for solar water desalination plants due to the falling cost of desalinated water and the rising cost of surface water in urban areas.
The High Cost Required for Setting Up Treatment Plants
High costs are required for setting up solar water desalination plant. Solar water desalination plant requires excessive sludge production, large energy, and high operational costs. Moreover, it demands specialized knowledge and abilities and before the desalination process, chemicals such as hydrogen peroxide, chlorine, and hydrochloric acid are used as byproducts. Environmental pollution results when these chemicals are discarded after they no longer have their intended purposes. Large amounts of brine are also flushed into the ocean or sea from saline water desalination plants. This brine contains chemicals such as anti-scaling agents from pre- and post-treatment in addition to concentrated salt. As a result, brine disposal is an issue that could slow the adoption rate of all desalination processes. A solar water desalination plant's installation is also very expensive and energy-intensive, making small-scale installations impractical. These are critical factors that could stymie global market growth.
