Market Definition

Wastewater treatment is the process of converting wastewater, the water that is no longer needed or suitable for use as per safety standards. The major aim of wastewater treatment is to remove as much of the suspended solids as possible before the remaining water, called effluent, is discharged back into the environment. As solid material decays, it uses oxygen, which the plants and animals in the water need. If wastewater is left untreated, then it will harm the environment and human health. These impacts can include harm to fish and wildlife populations, oxygen depletion, beach closures, infections and viral disorders and other restrictions on recreational water use, fish and shellfish harvesting, and contamination of drinking water.

Market Dynamics

This section deals with understanding the market drivers, opportunities, restraints, and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail as below:  

Drivers

• Growing Industrialization and Urbanization

Population growth, economic development, urbanization, and industrialization increase water use and garbage production. A higher volume of domestic and industrial wastewater is produced due to the growth of urban areas and the construction of industries, which puts more strain on wastewater treatment facilities. The need for an integrated approach to water management is highlighted by trends toward increased urbanization and industrialization. This entails fusing water supply, stormwater management, water-saving techniques, and wastewater treatment. Optimizing water resources, lowering pollution, and ensuring sustainable growth in urban and industrial areas can all be accomplished by implementing integrated water management techniques.

• Declining Freshwater Sources

Freshwater resources are crucial for the environment, the economy, and society. They are distributed very differently between and within nations. Water abstractions for industrial irrigation, public supply irrigation, and other purposes impact on both their availability and quality, power plant cooling procedures, domestic, industrial, and agricultural pollutant loads, and climatic and weather changes.

Freshwater sources are becoming less accessible, a major worldwide problem with far-reaching effects. Water scarcity can worsen by declining freshwater sources, especially in areas with a high population density, fast urbanization, and limited access to fresh water. Due to the lack of water, there is more competition for such resources among different industries, towns, and agricultural and industrial sectors. This competition can be lessened, and the stress on freshwater resources is reduced with the help of efficient wastewater management, which includes treating and reusing wastewater.

Opportunity

• Rising Adoption of Biological Wastewater Treatment Systems

Pharmaceuticals and personal care items could harm the environment and human health. Particularly, developing contaminants that interfere with biological treatment are frequently found in wastewater treatment plants. Compared to more sophisticated treatment technologies, the activated sludge process has a smaller initial investment and fewer operational requirements.

The Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality opened the biggest modern biological treatment facility in Turkey to handle 650,000 cubic meters of wastewater every day. Ekrem Mamolu, the Mayor of Istanbul, officially opened the plant, which would provide electricity to almost 2 million 600,000 people living in the Tuzla, Pendik, Kartal, and Maltepe districts. Pollutants in wastewater will be eliminated, recognitions to a newly constructed advanced biological treatment stage, protecting the environment, people's health, and the marine life of the Sea of Marmara.

Systems of biological sewage treatment conform to the rules of environmental sustainability. They clean wastewater using natural microbial processes, reducing the need for chemical additions or energy-intensive treatment techniques. Biological treatment systems offer versatility in treatment and energy optimization as they can run in anaerobic, aerobic, or anoxic settings. Resource conservation and circular economy strategies can benefit from using biomass produced during treatment, which can also be used to generate biogas or recover nutrients. Thus, the rising adoption of biological wastewater treatment systems is expected to create market growth opportunities.

Restraint

• High Installation and Operational Costs

Wastewater treatment systems must be installed and operated to ensure the effluent quality meets the established border values. Even in developing nations, the enormous expenses associated with the installation, upkeep, and operation of conventional treatment systems place strain on the economy and society. Personnel costs, maintenance costs, energy costs, chemical and material costs, disposal costs, and other costs for administration, insurance, discharge duty (if applicable), outside services, and others are all operation costs.

Thus, the higher cost of installation and operation of treatment plants is expected to restrain market growth.

Challenge

• Treatment Systems Operation and Maintenance

Effective performance, adherence to legal requirements, and infrastructure longevity all depend on wastewater treatment systems being operated and maintained effectively. It is crucial to routinely monitor essential parameters such as flow rates, influent, and effluent characteristics, dissolved oxygen levels, pH, and nutrient concentrations to evaluate the treatment system's effectiveness. Monitoring makes it possible to take corrective action when desirable operational conditions are violated quickly. In addition, routine testing of sludge properties and process efficiency indicators (such as sludge volume index and solids retention time) provide insights into the system's general health.

Operators must receive proper training and education to operate the wastewater treatment system well. Operators must be informed about the equipment, maintenance requirements, and treatment procedures. Operators are kept up to speed with the newest technology, laws, and best practices thanks to training programs and continuing professional development, which enables them to run and maintain the treatment system efficiently.

Thus, the treatment system's operation and maintenance are expected to challenge the market growth.

Recent Development

• In 2018, Chile established legislation governing graywater management and reuse, but it still requires approval from the health ministry (Minsal) before it can be implemented. The Santiago-Maipo Fund, the country's first water fund, is now collaborating with both public and private players to plan water management and conservation initiatives for the Metropolitan area.
