Industrial Water Treatment Chemicals Market Forecasted at USD 23.53 billion in 2025, Rising to USD 31.55 billion by 2030; Key Drivers and Regional Insights Revealed

Mordor Intelligence's new report on the "Industrial Water Treatment Chemicals Market" presents a thorough evaluation of the market's trajectory, including major trends and future outlook.

Introduction

The latest Mordor Intelligence report outlines that the global industrial water treatment chemicals market is projected to grow from USD 23.53 billion in 2025 to USD 31.55 billion by 2030, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 6.04%. Over the 2019-2030 study period, the market reflects significant expansion driven by tighter regulations around industrial effluents, increasing water reuse mandates especially in water‐scarce regions, and increasing volumes of produced water from shale‐gas operations. This study covers multiple product categories (like inhibitors, biocides, scale inhibitors), end‐use industries such as power and oil & gas, and major geographical regions.

Key Trends

Regulatory Tightening and PFAS Compliance

Globally rising limits on PFAS and heavy metal discharge are forcing industries to upgrade treatment systems, creating higher demand for advanced chemicals. North America and Europe are the first regions enforcing such standards, with compliance efforts becoming central within short‐term forecasts.

Increasing Produced‐Water Volumes from Oil & Gas

As shale gas operations expand, the volume of produced water requiring treatment grows. This trend is particularly strong in North America and is contributing an estimated +1.2% uplift to CAGR

Water Reuse Mandates in Dry Regions

Government mandates for industrial water reuse, particularly across Asia‐Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and increasingly Latin America, are boosting demand. These regions are projected to account for strong future growth, contributing over +1.1% of CAGR uplift

Digital Dosing Platforms and Resource‐Recovery Models

Suppliers are moving beyond basic chemical provision toward integrated solutions combining smart dosing platforms with treatment skids. These platforms can reduce chemical consumption by 15-25%, locking in long‐term service agreements

Product Usage Patterns

Corrosion inhibitors made up about 24.16% of the market in 2024, reflecting their importance in protecting high‐temperature and high‐TDS systems Biocides and disinfectants, while smaller in absolute size, are forecast to grow at the fastest rate-6.83% CAGR through 2030-as microbiological control gains importance under stricter water reuse and effluent norms

Market Segmentation

The report segments the market by product type, end‐user industry, and geography.

By Product Type

Corrosion Inhibitors - represented 24.16% market share in 2024 and are a cornerstone for boiler, condenser, and pipeline protection
Biocides & Disinfectants - fastest growing category with a forecast CAGR of 6.83% through 2030
Scale Inhibitors, Coagulants, Flocculants, and Others - used across cooling towers, membranes, and various industrial effluent treatments

By End‐User Industry

Power Generation - held 36.21% share in 2024, driven by large cooling and boiler water usage in thermal and nuclear plants
Oil & Gas - fastest growing end‐use, expanding at ~6.71% CAGR through 2030 due to shale gas produced‐water treatment demand Other verticals include metals & mining, pulp & paper, chemicals, and food & beverage, which also contribute significantly to volume.

By Geography

Asia‐Pacific - largest regional share at 37.58% in 2024. Demand is driven by rapid industrial infrastructure growth and wastewater treatment capacity in countries such as China, India, and Southeast Asia.
Middle East & Africa (MEA) - forecast to grow fastest at ~7.12% CAGR to 2030, due to severe water scarcity and robust industrialisation
Europe and North America - North America held about 21% share and Europe about 30% as of 2024. Growth here is driven by strict environmental regulation and mature industrial demand
