Water Treatment Additives Market - Forecast(2021 - 2026)
The global water treatment additives market generated a revenue of $29,483m in the year 2017 and expected to grow with a CAGR of 5.9% during the forecast period. The demand for water treatment additives is increasing rapidly due to increase in population, water scarcity and industrialization. In 2017, water industry which includes only drinking water treatment is valued at $6902.6m and will grow at a CAGR of 9.2% during the forecast period. However, the usage of these additives and their impact on the environment is regulated by several authorities such as Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Centre for Disease Control and Protection (CDC).
- The Metro Wastewater Reclamation District in Denver, Colo. recently began to treat wastewater effluent with a PAA formulation from Enviro Tech Chemical Services, Inc. which is known as Peragreen WW. Though the cost of PAA is higher, this disinfectant which is preferred over sodium hypochlorite as it allows users to avoid issues associated with toxic halogenated compound such as chlorine-containing disinfectants.
- Researchers at Bath University in partnership with Wessex water are testing of algal farming in order to replace the use of chemicals for treating waste water. This method is particularly suited to remove phosphorus from sewage, which is an increasing problem for water treatment and is supposed to be cheaper and more sustainable .

- The wastewater obtained from hospitals include cytostatic drugs which are used in cancer treatment, not only pollute the environment but can also harm human health as these drugs don’t break down easily. A group of researchers from Belgium and India have developed a novel method of treating wastewater, in which they have developed a slurry photo catalytic membrane reactor which carries out filtration in a similar process as used for drinking water with a help of LED light source and the drugs are further broken down with the help of titanium dioxide which is nontoxic and efficient.
- In rural areas, it can be very expensive to build a new water treatment plant or connect with one in the next closest town and also to have an expertise to operate it. Hence, a movable water treatment system was developed at UCLA which fits in a shipping container and can be operated with a smartphone. It can treat agricultural runoff, brackish groundwater and nearly any other water source into potable water. This system is operating successfully in Panoche water district of California since 2017.
- In 2017, Center for Nanotechnology Enabled Water Treatment (NEWT) which is located at Rice University developed a technology which involves the use of energy from sunlight to transform salt water into fresh drinking water. This desalination system uses a combination of nanophotonics and membrane distillation technique .
