U.S. Water and Wastewater Treatment Market Surges as Regulations and Technology Converge
The U.S. water and wastewater treatment technologies market is undergoing major growth, reflecting a combination of regulatory pressure, infrastructure investment, and industrial expansion. In 2024, the market stood at USD 26.1 billion and is forecasted to reach USD 44.6 billion by 2035. From USD 27.2 billion in 2025, the market is expected to grow steadily at a compound annual growth rate of 5.2%.
The key drivers behind this rise include strict environmental regulations that demand improved treatment capabilities, federal and state-level investment programs targeting infrastructure upgrades, and rising water scarcity that has pushed demand for reuse technologies. Alongside these factors, industrial growth across sectors such as semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, and energy is generating specialized water treatment requirements, further fueling the need for advanced technologies.

Technological Shifts in Water and Wastewater Treatment
One of the most significant developments in the U.S. market is the adoption of membrane technologies and energy-efficient systems. Membrane separation processes, including reverse osmosis and ultrafiltration, are becoming essential because they meet regulatory demands for removing emerging contaminants and provide reliable solutions for industries requiring ultrapure water. In addition, the focus on energy efficiency is reshaping the way wastewater is treated, ensuring not only compliance but also cost savings for municipalities and industries.
At the same time, the country is grappling with stringent regulations regarding per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). These "forever chemicals" are now strictly regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency, with compliance deadlines stretching into 2031. More than 5,000 water systems are expected to be impacted, creating a surge in demand for technologies that can effectively remove PFAS.
Industry Growth and Investments
The rapid growth of sectors like semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, and electric vehicle battery production is significantly increasing the demand for advanced water treatment. Semiconductor manufacturing, for instance, requires ultrapure water systems that only advanced membrane technologies can provide. Similarly, the expansion of AI-driven data centers, which depend on massive cooling systems, is driving the need for highly specialized wastewater solutions.
Federal infrastructure investments, exceeding USD 50 billion by 2032, are expected to support widespread adoption of new treatment technologies in both municipal and industrial contexts. These investments aim to modernize outdated facilities, improve water quality, and ensure resilience against water scarcity.

Why is Membrane Technology Leading the Market?
Membrane separation technologies are leading because they deliver on multiple fronts: regulatory compliance, industrial application, and technological efficiency. Stricter rules around contaminants like PFAS require advanced solutions, while industries such as semiconductors and pharmaceuticals need ultrapure water to maintain production quality. Additionally, improvements in energy efficiency and membrane durability make this technology both cost-effective and sustainable, ensuring its dominance well into 2035.
Industrial Segment: Fastest Growth Ahead
While municipalities remain a key market for water and wastewater treatment technologies, the industrial segment is set to outpace others in growth. The industrial sector is expected to record the highest CAGR between 2025 and 2035, supported by the semiconductor boom encouraged by the CHIPS Act, the growth of AI data centers, and the expanding electric vehicle supply chain. These industries are focusing heavily on water recycling and zero liquid discharge systems, placing advanced treatment solutions at the center of their operations.
Competitive Landscape and Strategic Developments
The competitive scenario in the U.S. market has shifted dramatically in recent years, driven by mergers and strategic investments. One of the most notable events was the acquisition of Evoqua Water Technologies by Xylem in May 2023, a deal valued at USD 7.5 billion. The merger created the world's largest pure-play water technology company, generating revenues of over USD 7.3 billion and providing comprehensive treatment solutions across industrial and municipal sectors.
Other key developments include DuPont's decision in January 2025 to retain its Water Solutions division, maintaining its leadership in reverse osmosis and ion exchange technologies. Meanwhile, 3M has pivoted away from PFAS manufacturing, committing over USD 1 billion to new treatment solutions in response to growing litigation and regulatory demands.
Venture capital is also playing a role in shaping the future of water treatment. Xylem expanded its venture fund to USD 50 million in 2024, targeting innovations that address water scarcity and decarbonization. Startups such as Oxyle, StormHarvester, and ZwitterCo are drawing significant investment for breakthroughs in PFAS destruction, AI-driven wastewater management, and advanced membranes.
Regional and Application Insights
Municipal applications remain a cornerstone of the market, particularly in regions struggling with aging infrastructure and compliance demands. However, industrial applications in pharmaceuticals, chemicals, power generation, mining, and semiconductors are emerging as the most dynamic areas of growth. These industries not only require large volumes of treated water but also demand highly specific solutions tailored to their production processes.

Outlook for the Future
The U.S. water and wastewater treatment technologies market is entering a period of accelerated transformation. Growing pressure from regulations, heightened awareness of water scarcity, and advances in digital water management will continue to drive demand. Companies offering integrated solutions that combine advanced membrane technologies, PFAS treatment, and digital monitoring tools will be best positioned to capture market share.
Although challenges such as high capital costs and complex regulatory compliance remain, the long-term trajectory points to strong growth. The combination of government investment, industrial expansion, and emerging technologies is expected to ensure that the market continues its upward path, reinforcing water security and sustainability across the country.
