Water Treatment Biocides Market

Water Treatment Biocides Market Size (2023-2028)

The water treatment biocides market size is estimated to reach USD 5.7 billion by 2028 from a projected value of USD 3.5 billion in 2022, recording an annual expansion rate of 8.2% throughout the calculated period.

Water treatment biocides are chemical agents that are extensively employed in water treatment processes. They are synthesizing agents that completely remove microorganisms from all life stages and sizes. In potable water, process water, open cooling systems, down water services, etc., these are formulated to control microbial growth. The most commonly employed biocides in the water treatment process include stabilized chlorine bromide solutions, a polymeric quaternary amine, terbuthylazine, glutaraldehyde, isothiazolinone, and carbamate. The main driver in the global water treatment biocides market is the rising need for municipal water treatment, which is due to the increasing demand for safe drinking water backed by the growing population and urbanization. Water treatment is needed in order to overcome scarcity challenges in the world. The growing need for treating and reusing water has increased the addition of biocides. Municipalities treat water to meet the growing demand for drinking water in accordance with regulatory requirements.

Driving Factors of the Water Treatment Biocides Market

The demand for these biocides from municipal water treatment plants is growing at a significant pace. Rapid urbanization, including the migration of people from villages and small towns to metropolitan cities, and the sudden boost in population in tier one and tier two cities have created a need for effective water treatment processing plants. The growing expenditure of money on water treatment facilities by government and private institutions is anticipated to propel the market for water treatment chemicals. The non-oxidizing biocides are anticipated to account for a sufficiently important share of the market owing to their uses such as oil, gas, and power plants. Clean water is most needed in various processes in food and beverage processing plants, pharmaceutical plants, agriculture, paper, pulp, and other industries.

Another element driving the demand for water treatment biocides is the stringent regulatory environment, along with the growing demand for biocides from various applications. The restraining aspect of the water treatment biocides industry is the lengthy and expensive registration process.

Opportunities in the Water Treatment Biocides Market

The opportunities for the players in the water treatment biocides market are the rising population and rapid urbanization in emerging economies. The major market players are focusing to meet the growing demand by investing more in expansions, new product launches, contracts & agreements, mergers, acquisitions, and joint ventures.
