This report can be delivered to the clients within 3 Business Days
U.S. Wastewater Secondary Treatment Equipment Market Growth & Trends
The U.S. wastewater secondary treatment equipment market size is expected treach USD 3.11 billion by 2030, according ta new report by Grand View Research, Inc. It is projected tregister a CAGR of 3.1% from 2025 t2030. Rising demand for wastewater treatment plants owing tincreasing number of new users getting connected tcentralized treatment systems is expected ttranslate intupgradation of existing treatment facilities or construction of new wastewater treatment facilities.
A positive government outlook with respect tfunding coupled with stringent regulations and standards for wastewater treatment for both municipal and industrial sectors is expected tdrive the market over the forecast period. Wastewater secondary treatment equipment such as the Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) provides more effective removal of suspended and organic solids as it integrates the membrane filtration process with the conventional activated sludge process thereby offering advanced level filtration coupled with high-quality effluent.
Packaged MBR systems are becoming increasingly popular as they offer several benefits including small footprint, less installation and commissioning time, and reduced construction labor and engineering. In addition, these systems can be designed & assembled as per the customer specific requirements as well as the space available for installation. Factors such as population growth and ongoing new housing developments are expected tdrive the need for either new capacity construction or existing capacity expansion of municipal wastewater treatment plants which in turn is anticipated tdrive the demand in the municipal application segment.
