Industrial Water Treatment Chemicals Market Expected to Reach USD 31.55 Billion by 2030-Driven by PFAS Rules, Produced-Water Growth & Rising Industrial Water Reuse

Mordor Intelligence has published a new report on the "Industrial Water Treatment Chemicals Market" offering a comprehensive analysis of size, share, trends, growth drivers, and future projections.

Introduction:

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, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.04 percent during the period from 2025 to 2030.

This market expansion reflects the mounting demand for chemical solutions used in industries to treat and manage water-especially amid tightening regulations and increasing pressure to handle wastewater more responsibly. In particular, tougher standards around PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), surges in volumes of water produced from shale gas and oil operations, and growing expectations for industrial water reuse are significant forces supporting this growth

Key Trends

Regulatory Pressure Around PFAS and Effluent Standards

Companies are facing heightened expectations to remove PFAS and other hazardous pollutants from wastewater. These evolving rules are pushing businesses to adopt more advanced chemical treatments to meet legal and environmental targets.

Growth of Produced-Water from Shale Gas Expansion

As shale gas extraction continues to rise in regions like North America, the amount of produced water-that needs treatment-is also growing. This is creating demand for tailored chemical solutions capable of handling complex industrial effluents.

Increased Targets for Industrial Water Reuse

Industries today are more focused on reducing water withdrawal and maximizing reuse. That shift is boosting demand for water treatment chemicals that make it feasible to recycle water internally, particularly in water‐scarce environments

Product-Segment Dynamics: Corrosion Inhibitors, Biocides & Disinfectants

Corrosion inhibitors held 24.16% of the market share in 2024-making them the single largest product category
Meanwhile, biocides and disinfectants are set to grow at a 6.83% CAGR through 2030, slightly above the overall market average, reflecting growing concerns over microbial threats in industrial systems
End-User Industry Focus: Power Sector and Oil & Gas

The power generation industry was responsible for about 36.21% of the market in 2024, remaining the dominant end‐user segment. The oil & gas sector, on the other hand, is forecast to be the fastest-growing industry within this market, rising at a 6.71% CAGR through 2030, boosted by expanding production activities
