Water Treatment Chemicals Market to reach USD 55.61 Billion by 2028

The Global Water Treatment Chemicals Market will be worth USD 55.61 Billion by 2028, growing with a 5.8% CAGR over the projected period. The water treatment process removes impurities from water for making it fit for domestic and industrial usage. Water treatment chemical gas also has several features, such as they are safe to process through tested ingredients, are cost-efficient, and can maintain water purity by optimizing performance, reducing cost, and improving yields. These processes help in removing suspended solids, algae, fungi, bacteria, minerals, and viruses that exist in water.

Growing consumption of water around the globe, coupled with government regulations on the TSS level of water will boost the global water treatment chemicals market. Further, rising industrial activities, as well as increasing world population, has led to a high demand for water treatment chemicals across the world. On the other hand, factors such as rising costs of water treatment chemicals and the existence of alternative treatment technologies will hinder the growth of the market.

Water and wastewater treatment chemicals have usage in several applications such as boiler water treatment, cooling water treatment, membrane water treatment, etc. across diverse end-use industries. Among these applications, cooling water treatment has the highest demand in the global water treatment chemicals market. Increased usage of cooling water in manufacturing processes is increasing the demand for water treatment chemicals market.
