Global Secondary Water & Wastewater Treatment Equipment Market by Technology (Sludge Treatment, Activated Sludge) and Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa), Forecast To 2028
Summary of the Report
Global secondary water and wastewater treatment equipment market was valued at USD 22.20 million in 2019. It is projected to grow at a compound annual rate (CAGR of 3.9%) between 2020 and 2027. The market is expected to grow due to the growing demand for wastewater treatment plants and strict regulations regarding wastewater treatment. Secondary treatment is typically performed using biological processes, which use bacteria to remove contaminants. Secondary wastewater treatment serves the main purpose of removing suspended and dissolved organic material from wastewater in order to create an environmentally safe effluent. This treatment involves microorganisms attached to media or in mixed suspension in the basin. The organic matter is then broken down and eaten by the microorganisms.
Due to its developed wastewater treatment infrastructure and strict effluent regulations, the U.S. dominated North America's secondary water and wastewater treatment equipment market. Market growth will be influenced by federal regulations, such as the Clean Water Act which establishes a regulatory framework for pollutant releases in water bodies.
Secondary wastewater treatment can be either aerobic or anaerobic. Anaerobic processes convert organic contaminants to carbon dioxide, water, or other end products. They are commonly used for municipal wastewater treatment. Anaerobic processes, on the other hand, are used to treat wastewaters of high strength and transform organic contaminants into biofuel gas, which includes methane and carbon dioxide.
Rapid urbanization and a growing population are expected to increase the need for infrastructure such as wastewater treatment plants. Additionally, new housing developments in developing countries will put pressure on existing wastewater treatment infrastructure. This could lead to the need for capacity expansion or the construction of new plants.
Depleting freshwater resources and rising water scarcity are expected to lead to an increase in wastewater reuse as a viable option for integrated water management. This will preserve and extend water supply. These factors are expected to have a positive effect on market growth during the forecast period.
Technology Insights
Activated sludge dominated the market, accounting for 44.5% of global revenue in 2019. Secondary treatment of wastewater can be done using a variety of activated sludge processes, including plug-flow, complete mix activated, and step feed.
MBR is an advanced wastewater treatment method that combines activated sludge with membrane filtration. This allows for more efficient removal of suspended and organic solids. MBRs enable advanced level filtration and produce high-quality effluent. MBRs will be in high demand due to the increasing demand for high-capacity wastewater treatment systems.
From 2020 to 2027, the sludge treatment technology market is expected to grow at 3.3%. The sludge treatment process includes sludge thickening and sludge digestion as well as sludge drying. The first step in sludge treatment is sludge thickening. This is often done in a gravity thickener. Dissolved air flotation is another alternative to gravity thickening.
There are many other types of equipment that can be used to treat secondary wastewater. These include trickling filters and Integrated Fixed-film Activated Sludges (IFAS), moving bed biofilm reactors (MBBR), and rotating biological contactors. The MBBR system uses a combination two processes: activated sludge and biofilter. The system usually consists of aeration tanks filled with biofilm carriers and followed by a secondary clarifier.
Application Insights
The market was led by municipalities, which accounted for 64.5% in global revenue share in 2019. Market growth is expected to be influenced by factors such as rapid urbanization in emerging economies and rapid housing infrastructure development.
Additionally, investments in upgrading and expanding existing wastewater treatment capacity are expected to rise due to the aging infrastructure for wastewater treatment in developed countries. This will open up new opportunities for more advanced and efficient wastewater treatment equipment, such as MBR and MBBR. It is expected to fuel the overall market growth during the forecast period.
Over the forecast period, the industrial application segment will experience a 4.3% CAGR. In the coming years, the demand for wastewater treatment equipment and secondary water will increase due to rapid industrialization in emerging countries.
Many industrial processes use water, such as manufacturing, power generation and agriculture. These chemicals and byproducts can often be inhaled into water during industrial processes. Therefore, it is important to treat industrial wastewater before it is reused or released into the environment.
Regional Insights
Asia Pacific was the dominant market, accounting for 35.5% of global revenue in 2019. This is due to growing population and rapid urbanization. Industrial growth in developing countries such as India and China has also led to an increase in wastewater generation, which in turn has increased the demand for wastewater treatment plants and capacities. This is expected to boost the overall market growth.
Over the forecast period, North America's secondary water and wastewater treatment equipment market is expected to grow at 2.9% CAGR. The demand will be driven by stringent regulations regarding discharges from industrial and municipal sectors, as well as ongoing investments in the oil and gas, chemical and petrochemical sectors.
Demand is expected to increase due to the increasing demand for wastewater treatment infrastructure upgrades and rehabilitation in Europe. Additionally, changes in the population, climate change and new pollutants will increase the demand for wastewater treatment solutions that are sustainable and efficient, which should help the region's market growth.
The growing demand for wastewater treatment equipment and secondary water in the Central and South America regions will be driven by increasing efforts to improve wastewater treatment coverage due to environmental regulations and a growing population. Market growth will also be aided by the increasing focus on the private sector to increase the financial and technological capabilities of public utilities companies.
