The study involved four major activities to estimate the size of the electro-oxidation market. Extensive secondary research was conducted to gather information on the market, peer markets, and parent markets. The next step was to validate these findings, assumptions, and sizing with industry experts across the value chain through primary research. Both top-down and bottom-up approaches were used to estimate the total market size. Then, the market breakdown and data triangulation methods were applied to estimate the market size of segments and subsegments.
Secondary Research
In the secondary research process, various secondary sources have been referred to for identifying and collecting information for this study. These secondary sources include annual reports, press releases, investor presentations of companies, white papers, certified publications, trade directories, certified publications, articles from recognized authors, gold standard and silver standard websites, and databases.
Secondary research has been used to obtain key information about the value chain of the industry, monetary chain of the market, the total pool of key electro-oxidation market classification and segmentation according to industry trends to the bottom-most level, and regional markets. It was also used to obtain information about the key developments from a market-oriented perspective.
Primary Research
The electro-oxidation market involves various stakeholders in the value chain, including raw material suppliers, manufacturers, and end users. Both supply and demand sides of the market have been interviewed to gather qualitative and quantitative data. Demand-side interviewees mainly include key opinion leaders in end-use sectors, while supply-side sources include manufacturers, associations, and institutions involved in the industry. Primary interviews aimed to collect insights such as market statistics, revenue data from products and services, market breakdowns, size estimations, forecasts, and data triangulation. This research also helped identify trends related to chemistry, applications, and regions. Stakeholders from the demand side, such as CIOs, CTOs, and CSOs, were interviewed to gain insights into the buyers’ perspectives on suppliers, products, component providers, current usage of the electro-oxidation market, and the future outlook affecting their business market.
The breakdown of profiles of the primary interviewees is illustrated in the figure below:
Note: Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 companies are classified based on their market revenue in 2024 available in the public domain, product portfolios, and geographical presence.
Other designations include sales representatives, production heads, and technicians.

Market Size Estimation
The top-down approach was used to estimate and validate the size of various submarkets for the electro-oxidation market for the region. The research methodology used to estimate the market size included the following steps:
-
The key players in the industry have been identified through extensive secondary research.
-
The supply chain of the industry has been determined through primary and secondary research.
-
All percentage shares, splits, and breakdowns based on type, electrode material, application, end-use industry, and region were determined using secondary sources and verified through primary sources.
-
All possible parameters that affect the markets covered in this research study were accounted for, viewed in extensive detail, verified through primary research, and analyzed to get the final quantitative and qualitative data. This data was consolidated and added with detailed inputs and analysis, and presented in this report.

Data Triangulation
After arriving at the total market size from the estimation process electro-oxidation market above, the overall market has been split into several segments and sub-segments. To complete the overall market engineering process and arrive at the exact statistics for all the segments and sub-segments, the data triangulation and market breakdown procedures have been employed, wherever applicable. The data has been triangulated by studying various factors and trends from both the demand and supply sides. Along with this, the market size has been validated by using both the top-down and bottom-up approaches and primary interviews. Hence, for every data segment, there have been three sources: the top-down approach, the bottom-up approach, and expert interviews. The data was assumed correct when the values arrived from the three sources matched.
Market Definition
Electro-oxidation of water and wastewater depends on electrochemistry and other processes to eliminate contaminants through direct and indirect oxidation at an anode. When an electric potential is applied, electro-oxidation performs anodic oxidation, where pollutants lose electrons by reacting directly at the electrode surface (direct electro-oxidation), or generate reactive electrochemical species such as hydroxyl radicals during oxidation in the bulk solution (indirect electro-oxidation). This method can replace stubborn organic pollutants like dyes, pharmaceuticals, and PFAS; micropollutants; or inorganic pollutants such as heavy metals, phosphates, and nitrates. The effectiveness of high-performance electrodes such as boron-doped diamond (BDD) and lead dioxide (PbO2) in facilitating electron transfer and generating radicals is increased by their wide potential windows and catalytic activity. Direct electro-oxidation can effectively mineralize more resistant organics, while indirect electro-oxidation treats a broader range of wastewater, including water with regulatory limits on contaminants like chlorine or persulfate used in surface water or for direct reuse. Electro-oxidation is performed using a commercial electrochemical cell with an anode that oxidizes waste pollutants and a cathode that supports reduction reactions without producing additional pollution or secondary waste. Its versatility and adaptability make electro-oxidation beneficial for industrial applications (such as textiles and pharmaceuticals) and municipal use with strict discharge regulations, including zero-liquid discharge. The main advantages of electro-oxidation include its robust degradation efficiency, suitability for complex effluents, and ability to process wastewater for reuse in other applications. Although energy efficiency and electrode costs for both small- and large-scale applications remain areas for improvement, limitations.
