Northbrook, IL 60062 -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/06/2022 -- The global Industrial wastewater treatment chemicals market size is estimated to be USD 12.8 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach USD 16.6 billion by 2026, at a CAGR of 5.3% between 2021 and 2026. Stringent regulations pertaining to emission and treatment of industrial waste and depleting global freshwater resources are driving the market. The rise in the global pollution level has increased the risk of adverse effects on the environment. Hence, various emission control acts and regulations have been legislated across most of the countries worldwide to control the level of pollution as well as to ensure that the disposed waste is less harmful to the environment. Such mandates have increased the demand for industrial waste treatment chemicals.

The overall water treatment chemicals market is fragmented and has a large number of suppliers, which cater to the industrial sector. The industrial sector includes municipal, oil & gas, power, mining, chemical, pulp & paper, and others. The raw materials required for the manufacturing of these chemicals are easily accessible and readily acquired because of the large number of suppliers. Substitutes for industrial wastewater treatment chemicals, such as ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis, and membrane technologies are also gaining acceptance due to the biodegradability concerns of these chemicals. Apart from this, the buyers utilizing these chemicals for industrial wastewater treatment have multiple options to fulfil their requirements. Factors such as uncertainty in economic conditions and the need for eco-friendly formulations and vulnerability regarding copying of patents may inhibit the growth of the industrial wastewater treatment chemicals market.
