水処理とは、水から不純物を取り除き、工業用水や家庭用水に適した状態にするために行われるプロセスを指します。主に、ボイラー水処理、浄水処理、冷却水処理、廃水処理の4つの基本プロセスに分けられます。これらのプロセスは、水中に存在する浮遊物質、真菌、ウイルス、藻類、細菌、ミネラルを除去するのに役立ちます。水処理プロセスで使用される化学薬品には、殺藻剤、無水硫酸、塩素、二酸化塩素、ソーダ灰などがあります。安全で新鮮な水に対する需要の高まりを満たすには既存の水の供給が不十分であるため、水処理化学品は地下水、海水、工業廃水を浄化するためにますます使用されるようになってきています。
先進国市場と新興国市場の両方で人口増加と急速な工業化が進み、新鮮で使用可能な水の需要が高まっているため、市場は大きな成長を遂げています。加えて、発電所、石油・ガス、金属・鉱業、パルプ・製紙、化学処理産業における清潔な水の需要の急増が、市場の成長に寄与しています。加えて、水系感染症に対する意識の高まりと公衆衛生における清潔な水の重要性により、水処理への重点が高まっています。水処理化学品は、有害な微生物、細菌、ウイルスを除去し、水系伝染病のリスクを低減するのに役立ちます。さらに、多くの国で水インフラの劣化が進んでいるため、水質を維持し汚染を防ぐための効果的な水処理ソリューションの必要性が高まっています。
水の消費量の増加
水処理化学品は、様々な水源からの水を浄化・処理し、消費、工業プロセス、その他の用途に安全な水にするために不可欠です。水処理に対するニーズの高まりが、こうした化学薬品の需要を牽引しています。さらに、水の消費量の増加に伴い、水質汚染や汚染のリスクも高まっています。工業排水、農業流出水、不適切な廃水処理は水質悪化の一因となります。そのため、特定の汚染物質に対処し、清潔で安全な水の供給を確保するために、水処理化学品を使用する必要があります。また、水資源が希少になるにつれ、水処理プラントでは、清潔な水に対する需要の増大に対応するため、より高度な処理プロセスを採用する必要が生じることが多いです。逆浸透、膜ろ過、高度酸化プロセスなどの高度処理法は、効率的な運転のために特定の化学薬品を必要とします。このような高度処理プロセスの採用が、特殊な水処理化学品に対する需要を牽引しています。
産業の成長と水使用量の増加
発電、製造、石油・ガス、化学、鉱業などの産業部門は、そのプロセスに大量の水を必要とします。このような水の使用量の増加は、これらの産業で使用される水が適切に処理され、要求される水質基準を満たすようにするための水処理化学品に対する需要の増加につながります。水処理化学品は、工業用水源から不純物、汚染物質、汚染物質を除去し、さまざまな工業用途に適した水にするために使用されます。さらに、産業活動は、水資源の保護と汚染の最小化を目的とした環境規制の対象となります。これらの規制を遵守するためには、効率的な水処理システムや技術を導入する必要があります。水処理化学品は、産業界がこうした規制要件を満たし、持続可能な水管理を実現する上で重要な役割を果たしています。コンプライアンスと持続可能性の必要性が、産業用途における水処理化学品の需要を牽引しています。
厳しい環境規制の実施
厳しい環境規制は、汚染の予防と削減に重点を置いています。産業界は、水域への汚染物質や汚染物質の排出を最小限に抑える対策を実施することが求められています。水処理化学品は、廃水中の汚染物質のレベルを下げ、排出される水が所定の基準を満たすようにする上で重要な役割を果たしています。汚染防止と削減が重視されているため、汚染物質を効果的に除去または中和できる水処理化学品に対する需要が高まっています。さらに、有害な化学物質の使用を最小限に抑え、より安全な代替品に置き換えることへの注目も高まっています。これには、生分解性、無毒性で環境に優しい水処理化学品の開発も含まれます。厳しい規制の実施は、市場に持続可能なソリューションの提供を促し、水処理化学品市場の革新と拡大につながります。
The global water treatment chemicals market size reached US$ 38.0 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 56.4 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.4% during 2024-2032. The increasing consumption of water, the scarcity of freshwater resources and the deteriorating quality of available water sources, and the implementation of stringent environmental regulations concerning water quality are some of the major factors propelling the market.
Water treatment refers to the process which is carried out for eliminating impurities from water and making it fit for industrial and domestic use. It is primarily divided into four basic processes, boiler water treatment, water purification, cooling water treatment and wastewater effluent treatment. These processes assist in eliminating suspended solids, fungi, viruses, algae, bacteria and minerals present in the water. Some of the chemicals used in the water treatment process include algicides, muriatic acid, chlorine, chlorine dioxide and soda ash. As the existing water supply is insufficient to fulfil the rising demand for safe and fresh water, water treatment chemicals are increasingly being used for purifying ground, sea, and industrial wastewater.
The market is experiencing significant growth due to growing population and rapid industrialization across both developed and emerging market which is escalating the demand for fresh and useable water. In addition, the surging requirement of clean water in power plants, oil and gas, metal and mining, pulp and paper, and chemical processing industries is contributing to market growth. Besides, the rising awareness of waterborne diseases and the importance of clean water for public health have led to an increased emphasis on water treatment. Water treatment chemicals help eliminate harmful microorganisms, bacteria, and viruses, reducing the risk of waterborne diseases.
