Water Treatment Chemicals Market

The water treatment chemicals market is projected to grow from USD 40.2 billion in 2025 to USD 48.0 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period.

The market for water treatment chemicals is growing mainly because clean water availability is becoming a global priority. Urban areas, industries, and growing populations are driving up water demand while natural water resources are becoming increasingly polluted. The implementation of more stringent environmental rules requires industries and municipalities to treat their wastewater before discharging or reusing it. The power generation, oil & gas, chemical, food & beverage, and data center industries all use high-quality process water to safeguard their equipment and operate more efficiently. The rising focus on water reuse, zero liquid discharge, and sustainability goals is driving the market for water treatment chemicals, including coagulants & flocculants, biocides, corrosion inhibitors, and scale inhibitors. The key global players in the water treatment chemicals market are Kemira (Finland), Ecolab (US), Veolia (France), BASF (Germany), Dow Inc (US), Solenis (US), Nouryon (Netherlands), Kurita Water Industries Ltd. (Japan), SNF Floerger (France) and Baker Hughes Company (US), among others.
