Based on product type, the membrane segment holds the maximum share in the market with around 6.53 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.5% in the forecasted years, due to the increased need for clean water, tighter laws, and developments in technology. Advanced technologies, such as microfiltration, ultrafiltration, and nanofiltration membranes, are gradually replacing traditional filtration techniques such as sand filters. These provide better contamination removal against viruses, bacteria, and newly developing pollutants.
Self-cleaning and automated features are also becoming more popular, increasing productivity and lowering maintenance requirements.
Based on technology, the reverse osmosis segment holds around 25.5% of the Asia Pacific water treatment equipment market share in 2023 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.7% through 2032, driven by growing concerns about water scarcity, stricter environmental regulations, and the demand for efficient and sustainable water treatment solutions. The membrane filtration segment is witnessing significant growth due to its effectiveness in removing a wide range of contaminants including dissolved salts, heavy metals, and emerging micropollutants.
Reverse Osmosis (RO) is becoming increasingly common in membrane filtration applications. RO is perfect for desalination, reusing wastewater, and treating industrial process water since it efficiently eliminates dissolved salts, heavy metals, and other contaminants.
The Asia Pacific region currently holds the dominant share in the water treatment equipment market with around 25.6 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.1% from 2024 to 2032. This is due to a booming population and rapid urbanization, leading to a heightened demand for clean water. The governments in the region are also implementing stricter regulations to address water pollution concerns, presenting a significant opportunity for water treatment companies to offer advanced and cost-effective solutions. Here, technology, such as membrane filtration (reverse osmosis and nanofiltration), is gaining traction due to its efficiency in removing contaminants and delivering high-quality drinking water.
Additionally, some technologies are being explored to recover valuable resources like nutrients from wastewater, creating a more sustainable water management cycle in the region.
Asia Pacific: The Asia Pacific water treatment equipment market was valued at around USD 25.6 billion in 2023 and is anticipated to register a CAGR of 6.1% between 2024 and 2032. This is due to a booming population and rapid urbanization, leading to a heightened demand for clean water.
In terms of country, in China, the market was valued at USD 8.9 billion in 2023 with a CAGR of 6.3% between 2024 and 2032. The government has implemented stringent regulations and invested heavily in water treatment infrastructure to combat water pollution. The country emphasizes improving water quality, leading to increased demand for advanced water treatment technologies such as membrane filtration ultraviolet disinfection and reverse osmosis systems.
On the other hand, in India, water scarcity and pollution are critical challenges advanced by rapid urbanization and industrial growth. The Indian government has launched initiatives, such as national mission for clean Ganga and Jal Jeevan Mission, to address these issues aiming to provide clean and safe drinking water across the country.
