The Zero liquid discharge system market size is projected to grow from USD 7.80 billion in 2024 to USD 11.48 billion by 2029, registering a CAGR of 8.0% during the forecast period in terms of value. The global zero liquid discharge system market is witnessing growth due to its versatile properties and it is also widely used in various industries due to its exceptional properties. Furthermore, zero liquid discharge system are required for the application in various end use industries like energy & power, chemicals & petrochemicals, food & beverages, textiles, pharmaceuticals, semiconductors & electronics, and other end use industries , which fuels the need for zero liquid discharge systems.
“Pre treatment process type is projected to be the second fastest process type in terms of value.”
Pre treatment process type is projected to be the second fastest process type in terms of value in the zero liquid discharge system market due to various factors. The pre treatment process is one of the initial process in the zero liquid discharge systems. As pre treatment process removes contamination and its conditions the water. The goal with which the pre treatment process is done is to reduce the amount of contaminants in the water and prepare it for downstream equipment. The pre treatment method includes process like filtering, chemical treatment, coagulation, clarification, microfiltration and ultrafiltration. This process also reduces total suspended solids, chemical oxygen demand, and turbidity. Pre treatment is important process as it helps to protect downstream membrane process, minimize the need for downstream treatment and it also help downstream equipment perform more efficiently. Pre treatment process is carried out mostly in end use industries like energy & power, chemicals & petrochemicals, textiles. The process is followed amongst these industries as they produce large volumes of waste water and these industries require recycled water to carry out their functions.
“Semiconductors & electronics end use industry is expected to be the second fastest growing end use industry for forecasted period in terms of value.”
Semiconductors & electronics end use industry is expected to be the second fastest growing end use industry for forecasted period in terms of value. Electronics manufacturing process requires high purity water to avoid contamination of sensitive components. As the environmental regulations are tightened globally, the end use industry face pressure to minimize its ecological footprint. ZLD systems help the companies to adopt to these regulations by eliminating liquid waste discharge and reducing freshwater consumption, making them an attractive option for manufacturers looking to enhance their sustainability practices.
“Middle East & Africa is estimated to be the second fastest growing region in terms of value for the forecasted period.”
Middle East and Africa region is expected to be the second fastest growing region in forecasted period in terms of value. As these region faces severe water scarcity challenges which make it essential for the countries to practice efficient water management practices. Rapid industrialization across various end use industries like chemicals and petrochemicals, oil and gas is occuring in these region, as these industries expand they generate substantial amount of wastewater that require effective treatment solutions. Also government are implementing various regulations aimed at reducing water pollution and promoting sustainable practices. These parameters are helping the ZLD system market to grow at a faster rate.
