India Wastewater Treatment Plants
Market Outlook & Trends
India Wastewater Treatment Plants
Market size was estimated to be USD 1.97billion in 2019 and is anticipated to
reach USD 4.66 billion in 2026 at Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 13.1%
during the projection period 2020-2026. The increasing demand has been noticed
for water and sewage treatment from municipal and industrial sectors in India
over recent years. Besides, strict government regulations regarding effluence
discharge in water bodies trigger more demand for sewage treatment from different
industries. Under the Zero Liquid Discharge Regulation, the plants are directed
to stop the discharge of wastewater in rivers, lakes, ponds, or sea by 2025.
Increasing water pollution deteriorated the quality of water, and a shortage of
water are the other factors driving the wastewater treatment services in all
regions. As per Central Pollution Control Board, 231 sewage treatment plants
are catering to the treatment of 21% sewage generation in India while the rest
79% remain untreated.
India Wastewater Treatment Plants
Market Overview
Wastewater treatment refers to the
process of removing contaminants from sewage or wastewater to make them
recyclable, reusable, and acceptable to the environment. Various processes such
as Phase separation, Sedimentation, Oxidation, Biochemical Oxidation, Chemical
Oxidation, and others are followed for treating wastewaters. Different
Wastewater Treatment plants have been established to treat wastewater from
multiple industries and sectors. They include Sewage, Tertiary, Industrial
Wastewater, Agriculture Wastewater, and Leachate Treatment plants.
A municipal sewage treatment process passes through primary, secondary, and final stages of treatment. Primary treatment removes solid material while secondary treatment digests dissolved and suspended organic material and nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorous, and the third stage involves disinfection for killing pathogenic bacteria.
Industrial Wastewater disposal is a complicated and costly matter. The refineries usually have onsite wastewater treatment facilities to comply with environmental regulations. At the same time, other industries use municipal wastewater treatment plants for treating industrial effluence in the absence of industrial wastewater treatment plants or discharge it untreated in water bodies. But still, there is a massive gap between the need and availability of wastewater treatment facilities, offering tremendous opportunities to new and existing market players. As per the study, more than 60% of wastewater from industries, households and other sources continues to be discharged in water bodies without any treatment, and only 30% of the wastewater generated in India’s metro cities gets treated.
Growth drivers
Strict Regulations Related to
Industrial effluence
Various state and central governments
in India are seeking increasing compliance with environmental norms from
different industries. They also emphasize on water conservation and wastewater
treatment for the ecological balance due to shrinking freshwater sources. The
implementation of environmental policy and the shortage of water in many
regions of India is anticipated to increase the demand for wastewater treatment
services.
Growing Industrialization and Urbanization
India is witnessing immense growth in
various industries such as pharmaceutical, Food & Beverages, Oil &
Natural Gas, Textiles, and others, and urbanization is also growing. All these
developments, along with Zero Liquid Discharge System implementation, trigger
demand for wastewater treatment services.
Restraints
The fluctuating price of membranes
Membranes are an essential material in
wastewater treatment plants, and their price keeps fluctuating depending upon
their availability. It brings variation in cost questioning feasibility of the
treatment services.
Impact of COVID-19 in industry
All of the Industrial sector except
Pharmaceutical and IT have experienced the adverse impact of COVID-19 with
shrinking sales and production. The demand for wastewater treatment has
registered downfall due to the limited or shutdown of manufacturing plants
across the country. All stakeholders in the value chain are affected for short
or medium-term with problems ranging from the shortage of supplies,
uncertainties of distribution and delivery, liquidity crunch and shrinkage in
industry demand. However, demand from Pharmaceutical plants for wastewater
treatment has increased due to expansion in activities.
Market Segmentation
India Wastewater Treatment Plants
Market is segmented based on the type of the plant, Process, Capacity of the
plant, End-user, and Region.
India Wastewater Treatment Plants
Market: By Type
Based on Treatment Plant Type, India
Wastewater Treatment Plants Market is divided into Industrial wastewater
treatment plants and Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants. India lacks
municipal wastewater treatment plants to meet the needs of industrialization
and urbanization. However, the industries increasingly develop onsite
wastewater treatment plants to comply with environmental regulations. The
industrial segment is expected to witness substantial CAGR due to rising
awareness for the environment and government & private initiatives during
the forecast period 2020-2026.
India Wastewater Treatment Plants
Market: Process
Based on the treatment process, the
India Wastewater Treatment Plants Market is divided into Moving Bed Biological
Reactor (MBBR) and Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR). MBBR segment dominated the
Indian market in 2019 and is expected to continue the trend over the projected
period due to its benefits such as low maintenance, high efficiency, and less
space occupancy.
India Wastewater Treatment Plants
Market: By Region
Based on Region, India Wastewater
Treatment Plants Market is segmented into South, North, East, and West Regions.
The southern states dominated the Indian market during the year 2019, followed
by West, North, and East regions. The growing number of manufacturing
facilities, deficiency in groundwater, and compliance with environmental norms
are expected to augment the market for wastewater treatment in the southern and
all regions. Industrialized states such as Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka, and
others are expected to fuel the demand wastewater treatment services due to
growth in the pharmaceutical, oil, and gas and food & beverage industries.
