Attractive Opportunities in the Water Recycle and Reuse Market
Market Dynamics
Driver: Increasing Water Scarcity
Water scarcity is a growing global concern that is driven by several factors. One of the primary drivers of water scarcity is population growth. As the global population continues to grow, the demand for water resources is increasing, particularly in urban areas where populations are concentrated. Another significant driver of water scarcity is climate change, which is affecting water resources around the world, leading to changes in precipitation patterns, melting of glaciers, and increasing frequency and severity of droughts and floods. Water pollution from industrial, agricultural, and domestic sources is also a significant driver of water scarcity, as pollution can contaminate freshwater resources, making them unsuitable for human consumption or other uses.
Restraint: Health and safety concerns.
The public is cautious when it comes to decisions regarding public water supply, as it directly impacts public health, environmental protection, sustainability, and future development. Thus, people are hesitant to accept new water supply methods and technologies, and closely monitor the methods employed by water management agencies. The use of recycled water for potable reuse is no exception, as the public generally distrusts wastewater treatment technology due to the sociological theory of "contagion." This theory suggests that people view anything deemed "disgusting" as permanently tainted, regardless of any subsequent purification or filtration.
Opportunity: Rising population and rapid urbanization.
The global population is increasing rapidly, and with it, comes the challenge of providing sufficient water resources to meet the growing demand. Additionally, urbanization is happening at an unprecedented rate, with more and more people living in cities and urban areas. This trend creates significant opportunities for water recycling and reuse. It is estimated by the WHO that around 40% of the global population in next few decades will live in countries facing water stress. Currently, around 19 countries can be classified as having water scarcity with total renewable water resources less than 500 m3 per capital by 2025. The world’s population is expected to grow by 2.3 billion people between 2009 and 2050, of which 80% percent will be living in developing countries. The increase in the world’s population will also have a significant impact on water supply for food production.
Challenge: High cost and infrastructure requirements
Water recycling and reuse can face various technical and operational challenges, including the high cost and plant infrastructure challenges.
The cost of implementing and maintaining a water recycling and reuse system can be high. This is due to the need for advanced treatment technologies and extensive infrastructure, such as pipelines and storage facilities, to transport and store recycled water. Additionally, recycled water may require additional treatment to meet specific quality requirements for its intended use, which can add to the overall cost.
Market Ecosystem
The market ecosystem for water recycle and reuse is composed of a diverse array of entities and stakeholders that collectively contribute to the development, implementation, and advancement of water recycling technologies and solutions.
