- Sludge dewatering equipment is designed to remove water from sewage sludge, reducing its volume and weight for easier handling, disposal, or further treatment. These systems include technologies such as centrifuges, belt filter presses, and screw presses, which are widely used in municipal wastewater treatment plants and various industries
- The growing emphasis on environmental compliance, rising awareness of resource recovery from sludge, and increasing investments in water infrastructure are key factors propelling the demand for sludge dewatering equipment across global markets
- Europe dominated the sludge dewatering equipment market with a share of 25.5% in 2024, due to stringent environmental regulations, strong municipal infrastructure, and increased government focus on sustainable wastewater management
- Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest growing region in the sludge dewatering equipment market during the forecast period due to rapid industrialization, urban expansion, and rising environmental consciousness
- Centrifuges segment dominated the market with a market share of 40.5% in 2024, due to its high-speed processing capabilities, reduced footprint, and growing popularity in industrial sectors such as pharmaceuticals, food processing, and petrochemicals. Centrifugal dewatering systems are ideal for handling difficult-to-dewater sludge and offer significant advantages in automation and reduced operator intervention, making them increasingly attractive for advanced treatment facilities seeking higher throughput and efficiency
