Water Desalination Equipment Market

Home / Press Release
PRESS RELEASE
Water Desalination Equipment Market Size, Share, Competitive Landscape And Trend Analysis Report, By Technology, Source And Application : Global Opportunity Analysis And Industry Forecast 2024-2032
Date :25-Sep-2024

The global water desalination equipment market revenue was US$ 8.5 billion in 2023. The global market is estimated to reach US$ 19.2 billion by 2032, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.5% during the forecast period from 2024 to 2032.  

Water desalination extracts salt and other impurities from seawater or brackish water, rendering it suitable for human consumption and various applications. This technology plays a crucial role in producing freshwater from saline sources, particularly in regions that experience water scarcity or lack adequate freshwater resources. Desalination is widely utilized to generate drinking water in areas where the primary water sources are seawater or brackish water. By enabling communities to tap into a broader range of water sources, desalination enhances the resilience of water-stressed regions, making it a vital solution for addressing global water scarcity issues.

Factors Influencing the Global Water Desalination Equipment Market Growth

Growing water scarcity and the depletion of freshwater sources are significant challenges shaping the global market. Despite the fact that water covers 71% of the Earth's surface, only about 3% of that is freshwater, which is available for essential uses such as drinking and agriculture. As the global population continues to rise, the pressure on freshwater resources intensifies. This growing demand, combined with the decreasing availability of clean water, has led to an increased emphasis on water desalination.

Scaling and fouling issues related to reverse osmosis (RO) membranes present significant challenges that may hinder the growth of the global desalination market. A primary concern when using RO membranes is the fouling that occurs on their surfaces or within their pores. This phenomenon affects both cellulose-based and thin-film composite membranes. Fouling is primarily caused by the accumulation of various substances, including organic matter and biological growth, on the membrane surface. Scaling, on the other hand, specifically refers to the saturation of salts that build up on the membrane. This salt accumulation is a major contributor to operational difficulties in desalination plants.

The growing adoption of hybrid desalination technologies is expected to present lucrative opportunities for the global market. Hybrid desalination combines two or more processes, which may include methods from thermal distillation, membrane separation, or a combination of both. This innovative approach to desalination delivers superior results while often being more cost-effective than relying on a single technology. 

Regional Analysis

The Middle East and Africa region stand out as the most significant market. This prominence is largely driven by the severe scarcity of freshwater and limited rainfall in the area, which is expected to create a growing demand for desalination solutions over the coming years.

Countries like Saudi Arabia host some of the largest desalination plants in the world, and governments in this region are making substantial investments in desalination technologies. This commitment reflects the urgent need to secure reliable freshwater sources in a region characterized by extreme water scarcity.

Additionally, the growth in tourism, particularly in the Middle East, along with an increase in per-capita water consumption, will further propel the demand for desalination equipment. As more visitors flock to the region and local populations expand, the pressure on existing water resources intensifies, making desalination an essential component of the region's water management strategy. Overall, the Middle East & Africa market is poised for significant growth as it addresses these pressing water challenges.
