The Global Zero Liquid Discharge Market size is estimated at USD 8.64 billion in the year 2023 and is predicted to reach USD 14.29 billion by the end of the year 2029, with a current CAGR of 10.60% from 2024 to 2029.
Market Overview:
The Increase in market value can be attributed to the limited availability of freshwater and the implementation of strict environmental regulations and water scarcity throughout the world. Zero Liquid Discharge (or ZLD) is a type of technique employed for wastewater treatment, in which the wastewater is first recycled and then purified for later use. The process helps eliminate water leaks throughout the process, without wasting water. Zero liquid discharge systems are employed in various industries, such as semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, textiles, food and beverages, chemicals, and petrochemicals, among others. Over the past decade, the availability of freshwater has drastically declined around the world. Also, water pollution has escalated dramatically. Escalating industrialization, in turn, has led to a significant hike in the volume of wastewater generated, especially from energy and electricity production, as well as from municipal water and effluent treatment plants.
Market Drivers:
Relevant environmental agencies and government authorities have formulated and implemented various regulations aimed at conserving water and preventing water pollution. Agencies such as the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the Indian Waterworks Association, and the European Water Association, as well as government agencies, are actively involved in establishing regulations governing the discharge and reuse of water. Water conservation and treatment efforts are predicted to have driven call for zero liquid discharge systems around the world during the evaluation period. With escalating urbanization, there has been a substantial increase in the call for electricity. Power generation is predicted to see solid expansion during the foreseen period.
Market Restraints:
The high initial installation and operating costs of the ZLD plant or system will be a key constraining factor for future market expansion.
Market Opportunities:
The growing need for potable and consumable water, along with growing concerns about water decontamination, will drive the market call for zero liquid discharge systems by 2027. Strengthening government initiatives for the implementation of wastewater treatment plants in most industries that generate the most wastewater from their factories, the call for ZLD will increase over the foreseen period. Zero liquid discharge is a type of wastewater treatment technology in which it purifies and recycles wastewater without discharging liquid at the end of the process.
Market Challenges:
ZLD systems require a trained professional to operate the plant due to their complex procedures and the unit also requires a large space to accommodate, which can be a difficult factor for the market. Lack of knowledge about wastewater concentrate disposal in various regions will also hamper market expansion.

Market Segmentation:
Conventional ZLD plants help filter out highly soluble salts, such as calcium and ammonium chlorides, and some heavy metal salts that cannot crystallize without evaporating.
The membrane-based segment will grow at a significant CAGR of more than 5.5% in the near future. The hybrid-based ZLD process includes a pre-treatment unit with brine filtration, stripped through RO preconcentration, and further purification in a falling film MVR evaporator.
The chemical and petrochemical industry is predicted to grow with the highest CAGR of around 6% in the future. It is one of the industries that consume the most water in the world.
Market Regional Analysis:
North America had a significant share of the zero liquid discharge systems market due to the gradual increase in population and industries, along with the boom in water and wastewater treatment facilities. The segment is said to grow at a significant rate of more than 5% in the foreseen period. Asia Pacific is the fastest-growing region in the worldwide market and will expand at the highest CAGR of about 8.5% in the future. Escalating industrialization and large numbers of people create a large deficit in the amount of fresh water. Industries in the region are responsible for producing large amounts of wastewater, which will increase the call of the regional market in the coming years. The South American market for zero liquid discharge systems is predicted to grow at the highest CAGR during the foreseen period. Strong call from Brazil and Argentina is predicted to drive the market in this area. Escalating population, high call for freshwater, and improving economic conditions in the countries of this region are driving the expansion of the zero liquid discharge systems market. The North American region had the largest share of the worldwide zero liquid discharge market in 2019 and a similar trend is predicted to continue during the foreseen period.
