Water Desalination Equipment Market To Double In Size By 2033: Water Scarcity Expected To Affect 1.6 Billion People By 2030

(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) The World Economic Forum (WEF) highlights that global freshwater demand is expected to surpass supply by 40% by 2030

Dublin, March 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Water Desalination Equipment Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Technology, Source, Application, Region, and Segment Forecasts, 2026-2033" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets's offering.

The global water desalination equipment market, valued at USD 20.01 billion in 2025, is projected to expand to USD 42.65 billion by 2033, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.0% from 2026 to 2033. This growth is driven by the scarcity of freshwater resources and increased demand for water in arid regions that lack surface water sources like lakes and rivers.

The World Economic Forum highlights that global freshwater demand is expected to surpass supply by 40% by 2030, potentially leaving 1.6 billion people without access to safe drinking water. Currently, 4 billion people reside in water-scarce areas, with one in four cities experiencing water insecurity.

As water scarcity concerns escalate, the demand for desalination equipment is rising to mitigate the supply-demand imbalance. Water's crucial role in daily life and industries such as construction accentuates the necessity for desalination technologies. The U.S. Geological Survey notes that 71% of the Earth's surface is covered with water, primarily saline in oceans, seas, and bays, while only 3.5% is freshwater found in groundwater, rivers, and lakes.
