Report Description

Water Desalination Equipment Market Outlook 2031

The global water desalination equipment market size was valued at USD 5.80 billion in 2022 and is estimated to reach USD 11.31 billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 7.7% during the forecast period 2023-2031.

Water desalination equipment is used to purify sea water and brackish water. The equipment helps to separate dissolved salts and minerals from water sources such as rivers, wells, oceans, wastewater, streams, and industrial water and convert them into potable and fresh water using reverse osmosis (RO), nano filtration (NF), ED reversal (EDR) and electro dialysis (ED). The techniques use pressure and electrical force to pass water through membrane and provide potable water.

Water Desalination Equipment Market Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities

Rapid industrialization and effective water management are the major factors for the growth of the market.
Depleting freshwater reserves increased the demand for the water desalination equipment, driving the market.
Other factors for the growth of the market are rising population, deteriorating environmental conditions, and altered weather conditions.
Restraints for the market include the high cost of desalination equipment and high Dependence on energy for certain processes, which is expected to hamper the growth of the market.
Technological advancements such as hybrid desalination equipment and multi-stage (MSF) distillation technology are creating opportunities in the market.
Increased demand for small purification and desalination equipment in household, residential, and commercial sectors is expected to contribute to the growth of the sector.

Water Desalination Equipment Market Segment Insight

The reverse osmosis (RO) segment holds a significant share of the water desalination equipment market

Based on technologies, the water desalination equipment market is segregated into reverse osmosis, multi-effect distillation (MED), multi-stage flash (MSF) distillation, and others.

The reverse osmosis segment holds a significant share of the water desalination equipment market, contributing to about 58.6% of the total global revenue in 2019, due to its low cost of installation, ability to treat all types of feed water, easy processing, and minimal use of chemicals. In RO, saline water is passed through a semi-permeable membrane, which separates salt from water, producing freshwater.

Other segments in the market such as Multi-stage Flash (MSF) distillation technology segment is expected to register CAGR of 8.9% from 2020 to 2027. Demand for river water desalination equipment market is expected to be generated, due to urbanization of cities.

Water Desalination Equipment Market Technologies Segmentation

The municipal segment is expected to dominate the market

On the basis of applications, the water desalination equipment market is fragmented into municipal, industrial, and others. The municipal segment dominated the water desalination equipment market and accounted for 50.6% of the global revenue. Major factors for the growth of this segment are rising urbanization, increasing population in urban areas, reduced costs of desalinated water, and high cost of surface water.

The industrial segment registered growth of 9.3% over 2020 to 2027, due to rapid industrial development in developing countries, increased R&D in the desalination equipment market, and growth of food and pharmaceutical industries due to increased population.

The seawater segment held a major market share in 2020

Based on sources, the market is segmented into Seawater, brackish water, river water, and others. The seawater segment held a major market share of around 55% in 2020. The rising scarcity of potable water is expected to drive up demand for seawater desalination. The growing necessity of treating seawater, to conserve freshwater resources is projected to boost demand for seawater desalination equipment.
