• The market size of zero liquid discharge systems has seen substantial growth recently. It's expected to surge from $6.53 billion in 2024 to $7.13 billion in 2025, recording a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.2%. The historical growth pattern can be traced back to factors such as rigid environmental rules, concerns over industrial water shortage, an increase in the cost of water disposal, waste reduction and resource reclamation, heightened awareness of environmental issues, compliance specific to different industries, and government incentives and subsidies.
How Does the Forecast Look for the Zero Liquid Discharge Systems Market?
The Zero Liquid Discharge Systems market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size of zero liquid discharge systems is predicted to experience significant growth in the coming years. It is forecasted to advance to $10.12 billion in 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.1%.
This growth during the prediction period can be linked to its rising popularity in emergent economies, its integration with smart water management, an amplified emphasis on energy efficiency, demand from the power generation sector, the growth of chemical and petrochemical sectors, and global sustainable development efforts. Key trends for the forecast period encompass an increased emphasis on water conservation, the extension of applications in diverse industries, the incorporation of cutting-edge technologies, a focus on resource recovery, growing investment in industrial water treatment, and the collaboration between the public and private sectors.
What Are The Leading Drivers Of Growth In The Zero Liquid Discharge Systems Market?
The surge in urbanization is anticipated to drive the expansion of the zero liquid discharge systems market in the future. When masses migrate from countryside regions to metropolitan areas, it's termed urbanization. The escalating demand for energy and water due to urbanization fosters the need for zero liquid discharge systems. A 2022 report by the World Bank, an American international organization, reveals over half of the globe's population dwell in urban areas. That demographic is forecasted to escalate to 6 billion by 2045, a 1.5-fold growth. By 2030, an additional 1.2 million km2 of metropolitan constructed field is projected as urban land usage continues to rise, outpacing population growth by up to 50%. Thus, urbanization's upswing propels the expansion of the zero liquid discharge systems market.
