Water Treatment Equipment

Gains will be supported by sustained efforts to decrease water consumption through the treatment and reuse of wastewater and by rising water treatment standards in industrial markets.

US demand to rise 5.2% annually through 2019

Demand for water treatment equipment in the US is expected to rise 5.2 percent annually to $15.0 billion in 2019. Gains will be supported by sustained efforts to decrease water consumption through the treatment and reuse of wastewater and by rising water treatment standards in industrial markets such as manufacturing, resource extraction, and power generation. Technologies such as membrane systems, disinfection equipment, and distillation equipment will post the best growth as these products can address a wide variety of water quality problems and can also allow users to decrease reliance on potentially hazardous solutions such as water treatment chemicals. Because many types of membrane systems and disinfection equipment are most effective when water is pretreated, demand for more established products such as conventional filtration systems will also benefit.

Municipal market to remain dominant

The municipal market accounts for the largest share of water treatment equipment demand. Although growth will be below the overall average, gains for water treatment equipment in the municipal market will outpace overall growth in municipal water use. While users in the municipal market are often slower to adopt new water treatment technologies than are users in industrial markets, tightening restrictions on chemical use and higher standards for drinking water and wastewater quality will support greater reliance on water treatment equipment. Additionally, limited freshwater availability in Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas in recent years has prompted many municipal water suppliers to turn to unconventional water sources, including seawater and brackish water, which require more aggressive treatment, often with more expensive equipment such as membrane systems or distillation equipment.

Resource extraction to be fastest growing market

Resource extraction is forecast to be the fastest growing market for water treatment equipment, as water consumption and wastewater treatment continue to be issues of concern to both oil and gas field operators and environmental agencies. The US EPA is also in the process of updating its standards for the treatment of wastewater from oil and gas shale and coalbed formations, which could further boost the market for water treatment equipment in resource extraction. Despite this, gains will be slower than the double-digit increases seen during the 2009-2014 period, when hydraulic fracturing activities and oil and gas field production were expanding at a particularly strong rate, driven by a period of higher oil prices.

Study coverage

This Freedonia industry study, Water Treatment Equipment, analyzes the $11.6 billion US water treatment equipment industry. It presents historical demand data (2004, 2009 and 2014) and forecasts (2019 and 2024) by product (e.g., conventional filtration, membrane equipment, disinfection equipment), market (e.g., municipal, manufacturing, residential and commercial, resource extraction, power generation), and application (e.g., potable water, process water, wastewater). The study also considers market environment factors, details industry structure, evaluates company market share and profiles 30 industry players, including General Electric, Evoqua Water Technologies, and Ecolab.
