Water Treatment Biocides Market Size is valued at USD 3.74 Bn in 2022 and is predicted to reach USD 6.53 Bn by the year 2031 at a 6.6% CAGR during the forecast period for 2023-2031.
Key Industry Insights & Findings from the Report:
Chemical agents known as water treatment biocides are widely used in the process of treating Water. They are synthesizing agents that eliminate all forms and sizes of microbes. These are designed to suppress microbial growth in potable water, process water, open cooling systems, down water services, etc. Stabilized chlorine bromide solutions, polymeric quaternary amine, terbuthylazine, glutaraldehyde, isothiazolinone, and carbamate are some of the biocides that are most frequently used in the water treatment process.
The increasing requirement for municipal water treatment, brought on by the rising demand for clean drinking water supported by the expanding population and urbanization, is the initial driver in the global market for water treatment biocides. In order to solve the global problem of scarcity, water treatment is required. Biocides help manage microbial fouling, preventing biofilm development, eradicating pathogens, and preventing scaling and corrosion in water systems. These biocides can be divided into different categories based on how they were synthesized and how they work, including oxidizing biocides (such as chlorine and bromine) and non-oxidizing biocides (such as quaternary ammonium compounds and isothiazolinones).
The market for water treatment biocides consists of the manufacturing, distribution, and use of these biocidal agents by different sectors of industry and water treatment service providers. The need for water treatment biocides is being driven by a number of factors, including the need for effective microbiological control, compliance with regulatory standards for Water quality, the prevention of equipment damage and system fouling, and the promotion of public safety and security. expansion of industry, increase in population,
The Water Treatment Biocides market is segmented on the basis of Product type and application. The Product type segment is divided into Oxidizing Biocides and Non-Oxidizing Biocides. Whereas the application segment comprises Oil & Gas, Municipal Water Treatment, Power Plants, Mining, Pulp & Paper, and Swimming Pools.
During the forecast period, it is anticipated that the oil and gas application segment will dominate the global water treatment biocides market in terms of value. The oil and gas industry is experiencing an increasing need for water treatment biocides, including glutaraldehyde and tetrakis hydroxymethyl-phosphonium sulfate (THPS).
The worldwide market is anticipated to generate the most value in the Asia Pacific region during the projected period. The demand from the area's constantly expanding population can be credited with driving up construction activity. In addition, the need for industrial and consumer applications is anticipated to result in higher usage of cleaning and water treatment goods. Due to its vast population, which must be fed, housed, and
maintained while keeping the environment clean for people, China is the largest consumer of all the products. However, North America is anticipated to experience slow growth during the projected time. The market is driven by quick technological development and innovation due to regional economic growth.

InsightAce Analytic follows a standard and comprehensive market research methodology focused on offering the most accurate and precise market insights. The methods followed for all our market research studies include three significant steps – primary research, secondary research, and data modeling and analysis - to derive the current market size and forecast it over the forecast period. In this study, these three steps were used iteratively to generate valid data points (minimum deviation), which were cross-validated through multiple approaches mentioned below in the data modeling section.
Through secondary research methods, information on the market under study, its peer, and the parent market was collected. This information was then entered into data models. The resulted data points and insights were then validated by primary participants.
Based on additional insights from these primary participants, more directional efforts were put into doing secondary research and optimize data models. This process was repeated till all data models used in the study produced similar results (with minimum deviation). This way, this iterative process was able to generate the most accurate market numbers and qualitative insights.
Secondary research
The secondary research sources that are typically mentioned to include, but are not limited to:
The paid sources for secondary research like Factiva, OneSource, Hoovers, and Statista
