The ozone generator market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size of the ozone generator has experienced significant growth over the recent years. It is projected to increase from $1.53 billion in 2024 to $1.64 billion in 2025, with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 6.8%.
The historical growth can be credited to heightened concerns about air and water contamination, escalating demand for water treatment and purification, strict environmental laws and standards, increased use in the industrial and municipal sectors, and the necessitation for effective odor and voc management.
The ozone generator market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size for ozone generators is set to witness a robust growth in the coming years, expected to reach $2.26 billion by 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%.
The surge during the projection period can be linked to the adoption of ozone generators in the sectors of aquaculture and fish farming, along with their integration into the laundry and textile trades. The expansion of ozone therapy in wellness and medical spas, the focus on ozone treatments in the pharmaceutical and biotech sectors, as well as the increasing demand for ozone generators in HVAC and air purification, all contribute to this growth. Key trends to watch in the forecast period encompass modular and scalable ozone generation systems, the advancement in electrode and dielectric materials, ozone production through pulsed corona discharge (pcd), implementation of IoT and remote monitoring, and the use of ozone in wastewater treatment.
The anticipated upswing in expenditure towards the enhancement and enlargement of wastewater treatment facilities is likely to drive the ozone generator market's expansion. Industrial effluent is processed in a wastewater treatment plant, and pollutants are removed through an assortment of techniques, such as physical, chemical, and biological methods. As fresh water sources continue to dwindle, reusing wastewater is becoming increasingly crucial in the face of advancing climate change. The process of purifying water with ozone begins with the creation of ozone (O3) in an ozone generator by applying power to oxygen molecules (O2), which leads to the separation of oxygen atoms and their temporary recombination with other oxygen molecules, thereby facilitating water disinfection and purification. For example, in August 2024, UN-Water, a Switzerland-based United Nations (UN) interagency mechanism, reported that globally, 42% of household wastewater was not safely treated before being discharged in 2022, leading to an estimated 113 billion m3 being discharged into the environment. This underscores the urgent requirement for better water quality and the aim to halve untreated wastewater and boost recycling and safe reuse by 2030. Consequently, rising expenditure on improving and extending wastewater treatment facilities is expected to stimulate demand for ozone generators during the forecast period.

In the ozone generator market, one of the predominant trends is Product Innovation. In a bid to cater to specific industry needs and bolster their global business stance, companies that deal with ozone generators are coming up with novel products featuring avant-garde technologies. An illustrative example of this is the launch of an innovative ozone generator in April 2023 by Fresh Mouth, a company based in the US that provides oral health solutions. This advanced device, which doubles as a hydrogenated water generator, is unique in the market because it offers both functions separately, entailing unique therapeutic and nutritional rewards. The Fresh Mouth ozone generator is expressly designed to cleanse and sanitize the mouth securely and efficaciously, leading to augmented oral hygiene.
