Water Desalination Market To Reach USD 38.10 Billion By 2033; Emerging New & Advanced Hybrid Desalination Technologies To Propel Growth


(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) The global water desalination market size is anticipated to grow from USD 16.85 billion to USD 38.10 billion in 10 years. The market will experience rapid growth due to emerging new & advanced hybrid desalination technologies during the forecast period.

Newark, Sept. 11, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Brainy Insights estimates that the USD 16.85 billion in 2023 global water desalination market will reach USD 38.10 billion in 2033. Water is essential for all forms of life and exists in solid, liquid, and gas states. Composed of hydrogen and oxygen in a 2:1 ratio, water covers 71% of the Earth's surface. However, only 3% of this water is freshwater, with 2.5% locked in ice in polar regions, leaving just 0.5% as accessible freshwater. This limited supply is further stressed by overexploitation, contamination, and wastage due to human activities. To address water scarcity, desalination has become a key method. Desalination purifies seawater, brackish water, and contaminated water by removing salts, minerals, and other impurities, making it potable and reducing the strain on freshwater sources.

Advancement in market

In order to help fulfil the emirate's growing need for potable water, Saudi-listed ACWA Power and Sharjah Electricity, Water and Gas Authority (SEWA) have signed an agreement to establish Sharjah's first Independent Water Project (IWP). With the use of seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) technology, the Hamriyah IWP will be developed. By Q2 2027, the facility will produce about 272,000 cubic meters of desalinated water per day (m3/day).

Market Dynamics

Driver: Growing World Population.

Rapid urbanization and industrialization are increasing the demand for potable water across various sectors, including households, commercial activities, manufacturing, and construction. With freshwater resources depleting and becoming overexploited, desalination offers a viable alternative. By utilizing abundant seawater and brackish water, desalination helps meet the rising water demands of a growing global population.

Restraints: Fouling and Scaling.

Fouling refers to the accumulation of unwanted materials on surfaces during heating or cooling, while scaling is a specific type of fouling that occurs in desalination processes. Salts and minerals from seawater and brackish water can deposit on desalination membranes, reducing their lifespan and increasing operating costs. Preventive measures such as disinfectants and anti-scaling agents can help, but these can be expensive and may not be feasible for institutions in underdeveloped markets.

Opportunities: Advanced Hybrid Desalination Technologies.

Hybrid desalination technologies combine thermal distillation and membrane separation processes. These systems offer lower installation and post-treatment costs, increased efficiency, and better output ratios. Their flexibility and integration with various operating systems make them cost-effective, potentially expanding the market by making desalination accessible to smaller companies and regions.

Challenges: Environmental Concerns.

Desalination processes produce brine, a byproduct with high salt concentration, which can be harmful to marine ecosystems and inland environments. The disposal of brine can increase soil salinity and negatively impact flora and fauna, posing significant risks to biodiversity in both the short and long term.
