Industrial Water Treatment Chemicals Market Analysis

The Industrial Water Treatment Chemicals Market size is estimated at USD 23.53 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 31.55 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 6.04% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the market. It was because of the shutdown of the manufacturing facilities and plants due to the lockdown and restrictions. Supply chain and transportation disruptions further created hindrances for the market. However, the industry witnessed a recovery in 2021, thus rebounding the demand for the market studied.

  • Over the short term, increasing production of shale gas in the United States and growing production activities in the chemical and paper industry are expected to drive the demand for the industrial water treatment chemicals market during the forecast period.
  • Alternatively, alternative water treatment technologies are expected to hinder the studied market's growth.
  • However, there is an increasing need for wastewater recycling for reuse and an increasing demand for biocides and disinfectant water treatment chemicals from various end-users.
  • Asia-Pacific dominated the global market, with the largest consumption from countries such as China, India, and Japan.
