Wastewater Treatment Market in Food Industry Scope and Segmentation

Market Definition

The process of converting wastewater into water that can be discharged back into the environment is known as wastewater treatment. Wastewater treatment is a process used in the food industry to remove contaminants from wastewater and convert it into an effluent that can be returned to the water cycle. When returned to the water cycle, the effluent has a low environmental impact or is reused for other purposes (called water reclamation).

Global Wastewater Treatment Market in Food Industry Dynamics

Drivers

• Regulations Associated with Water Treatment

The growing regulations by the regional government to prevent pollution of naturally occurring water bodies and illegal wastewater discharge have boosted market growth. Special laws have been enacted across the region severely impacted by air pollution to protect them from the harmful effects of wastewater discharge. Stringent laws and policies for drinking water, potable water, and wastewater indicate that wastewater treatment is strictly enforced. With such rigor at the international level, it is clear that countries have enacted strict regulations to combat global warming and protect biodiversity. As a result, improper discharge of wastewater effluents is strictly enforced, potentially rendering factories non-compliance.

• Adoption of Sustainable Methods

The increasing urban population and increased occurrence of waterborne diseases will further propel the market growth rate. In addition, the growth in water pollution, rising disposable incomes, and rising living standards are expected to drive market value growth. The expansion of the food industry and the increase in disposable income are other market growth determinants projected to bolster market growth.

Opportunities

• Developments and Investments

Furthermore, various developments by the market players such as advances in membrane technology, extend profitable opportunities to the market players in the forecast period of 2023 to 2030. In addition, the increasing number of investments by public sector organizations in water infrastructure are further expected to expand future market growth.

Restraints/Challenges

• High Costs of Wastewater Treatment Process

Wastewater treatment across the food industry necessitates specialized knowledge and skills as it requires expertise for three stages such as primary, secondary, and tertiary treatment. These processes require a lot of money. Flow rates of effluent, water quality, the required degree of purity, and construction materials are all factors that raise the cost of wastewater treatment. The chemical composition and content of the effluent stream to be treated is a key factor for the high cost of most wastewater treatment systems. In general, the higher the number of contaminants present, the more steps in the water treatment process are required and the higher the initial cost.

• Lack of Techno-Commercial Awareness

The lack of techno-commercial awareness across the globe is projected to be a demerit for the market, which is expected to challenge the market growth rate.
