Key Highlights from the Report
The MEA region faces severe water scarcity, driving the demand for desalination solutions.
Scaling and fouling issues in desalination plants present challenges for operational efficiency.
Hybrid desalination technologies combining various methods are gaining traction.
The seawater segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8% through 2032.
Reverse osmosis (RO) technology is projected to expand at a CAGR of 7.8% through 2032.
The residential segment is estimated to register a 7.9% CAGR through 2032.
Market Segmentation
The MEA water desalination equipment market is segmented based on source, technology, and application.
Source-wise, seawater desalination dominates, contributing to 36% of market revenue in 2025. As the region holds only 1% of global freshwater resources, seawater desalination remains a critical solution.
In terms of technology, reverse osmosis (RO) leads, expected to account for 48% of the market share in 2025. RO technology effectively removes impurities while maintaining cost and energy efficiency. Recent projects, like DuPont's supply of RO membranes to the Sorek B desalination plant in Israel, highlight the growing demand.
Regional Insights
The UAE is projected to lead the MEA desalination market with a 38% market share in 2025. Government initiatives, such as the UAE Water Security Strategy 2036, and large-scale projects like Jebel Ali and Taweelah plants, drive the country's market dominance.
In North Africa, Morocco is emerging as a key market, with investments in Africa's largest desalination plant, which aims to supply freshwater to 7.5 million people in Greater Casablanca.
Market Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities
Market Drivers
Governments in the region are heavily investing in desalination infrastructure.
Saudi Arabia allocated US$ 7.5 billion for new desalination plants between 2019 and 2023.
The UAE's Taweelah RO Plant, operational since 2022, costs around US$ 900 Mn and has a capacity of 909,000 cubic meters per day.
The African Development Bank (AfDB) pledged US$ 2 Bn for desalination projects in North and Sub-Saharan Africa.
Market Restraints
One of the major challenges is the saturation of RO technology, which faces operational inefficiencies due to scaling and fouling. These issues increase energy consumption and maintenance costs, affecting desalination plant performance.
Market Opportunities
The rising adoption of hybrid desalination technologies is creating new avenues for growth. Hybrid systems, which combine thermal distillation and RO, improve efficiency and reduce energy consumption. Additionally, the integration of renewable energy sources like solar and wind in desalination plants is expected to drive sustainability in the sector.
