Market Segmentation:
The tertiary water and wastewater treatment technologies market is segmented based on type and application. Based on type, the market is segmented into membrane filtration, UV radiation, chlorination, ozonization, activated carbon, Ion exchange, electrochemical water treatment technology and others. By application, the market is segmented into municipal and industrial.
Based on the Type, the Membrane Filtration Segment Hold a Significant Market Share
The membrane filtration segment is expected to hold a major share of the global tertiary water and wastewater treatment technologies market in 2023. This market is booming because people are starting to care more about their health, there’s a push to use fewer chemicals when treating water, and membrane filtration technology offers excellent purification at a lower cost of operation. Furthermore, separating and purifying individual components from the mixture is achieved by the use of membrane filtering technology. Membranes are proving to be a popular choice for desalination, tertiary wastewater treatment, and the production of drinkable water from surface, ground, and ocean water sources.
The Industrial Segment Witnessed Growth at a Rapid Rate
The industrial segment is projected to grow rapidly in the global tertiary water and wastewater treatment technologies market worldwide; there has been a noticeable uptick in energy consumption, a decrease in freshwater supplies due to increased industrialization and urbanization, and an increasing understanding of the significance of water quality and public health. Rising industrial demand, strict government rules on treating industrial wastewater, and the incidence of water-borne infections are all factors that are driving this market forward.
North America Region is Dominate the Market
The North American tertiary water and wastewater treatment technologies market is expected to register the highest market share in terms of revenue in the near future. It can be attributed to well-developed industrial and municipal infrastructure, coupled with strict environmental rules that require advanced wastewater treatment and a rising population in this region. In addition, Asia Pacific is projected to grow rapidly in the global tertiary water and wastewater treatment technologies market because of factors such as increasing urbanization, the presence of many prominent enterprises, the ever-increasing emphasis on water conservation and sustainable practices, the constant innovation and improvement of solutions, and the rising industrialization.
