Report Scope and Market Segmentation

Agricultural Wastewater Treatment Market Dynamics

Drivers

• The rapid industrialization of automation and the food industry

The rapidly expanding automation and food safety market has increased the use of existing freshwater sources. A biological imbalance has also resulted from wastewater from various industries and agriculture being indiscriminately discarded into freshwater sources. As a result, freshwater sources are polluted due to multiple human activities, including the presence of chemical waste, which causes fires in lakes. Thus, the agricultural wastewater treatment market employs some chemicals in the handling of pesticides and other hazardous substances before the water is released into a river or other water resource, resulting in high demand for this resource.

• The high use of fertilizers in the agricultural sector

Agriculture also contributes to the high water use because it is the most crucial sector for emerging economies. As a result, the use of fertilizers is also increased, which results from the high demand for agricultural wastewater treatment during the forecast period. Similarly, rapidly depleting water resources around the world, rising water pollution issues as a result of increased agricultural activities, an increase in the agriculture industry, fertilizer consumption, and an increasing population are some of the key determinants that are expected to act as major growth drivers for the agricultural wastewater treatment market from 2022 to 2029.

Opportunity

In most markets, the low-cost commodity industrial wastewater treatment chemicals are being replaced by high-value and specialty formulations required by specific applications. This opens up the possibility of particular formulations needed by the oil and gas, chemical, mining, and metallurgy industries. Compared to conventional formulations, new products are typically more environmentally friendly and provide superior performance at lower loadings, increasing demand for such formulations.

Restraints

Stringent environmental legislation enacted by various agencies, such as the EPA, is the primary factor impeding the growth of the industrial wastewater treatment chemicals market. The growing concern about the environmental impact of chemicals has resulted in stringent regulatory constraints for water treatment chemical manufacturers. Currently, water treatment chemicals manufacturers are encouraged to use environmentally friendly alternatives. Manufacturers find it difficult to provide a replacement for standard formulations due to the ability of green alternative formulations to perform under extreme conditions. Furthermore, the use of green alternative chemical formulations increases the risk of bio-fouling, necessitating an additional dose of biocides, which reduces the cost efficiency of the installation.

COVID-19 Impact on Agricultural Wastewater Treatment Market

The economic growth of several countries has slowed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has caused the suspension of manufacturing facilities, a drop in demand for oil and gas, and a disruption in the supply chain. In 2020, need for industrial wastewater treatment chemicals fell in several end-use industries. Prices of synthetic and bio-based chemicals are rising due to limited supply and imports, which is expected to raise the cost of water treatment technologies and chemicals in the near future. Because the price increase is steep, it will be passed on.

Recent Development

• In January 2021, AECOM announced a collaboration with the Bergen County Utilities Authority in Northern New Jersey and Columbia University (New York City) to monitor COVID-19 ribonucleic acid (RNA) in wastewater BCUA sewer shed.
• Evoqua Water Technologies announced in September 2020 that it had acquired the privately held Aquapure Technologies of Cincinnati, a Hamilton, Ohio-based water service and equipment company that serves a variety of end-user applications, including agriculture. This acquisition will help Evoqua's service capabilities in Cincinnati, Ohio, and the surrounding area.
• SUEZ announced in July 2020 that it had signed an agreement to acquire the Reverse Osmosis (RO) membrane portfolio from the specialty chemical company LANXESS.
