Africa Africa Zero Liquid Discharge System Market

Africa Africa Zero Liquid Discharge System Market

The Africa zero liquid discharge (ZLD) system market is poised for steady expansion through 2035, fueled by tightening environmental regulations, severe water scarcity, and rapid industrialization in mining, power, and chemicals sectors. According to Future Market Insights (FMI), the market is valued at USD 33.9 million in 2025 and is projected to hit USD 58.5 million by 2035, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%.

The FMI report, "Africa Zero Liquid Discharge System Market Size, Share, and Forecast 2025-2035," projects an incremental USD 24.6 million in revenue over the decade, driven by demand for wastewater recycling solutions that eliminate liquid discharge and enable water reuse in water-stressed regions.

A Decade of Growth Anchored by Hybrid Technologies and Compliance Needs:

Hybrid ZLD systems, integrating membrane filtration with evaporation and crystallization, are leading the charge for efficiency and cost savings. From 2025 to 2030, the market is expected to add USD 10.8 million, propelled by regulatory enforcement in key industries.

From 2030 to 2035, FMI anticipates another USD 13.8 million in growth, supported by innovations in by-product recovery, digital monitoring, and renewable energy integration for sustainable operations.

"Hybrid ZLD solutions are gaining traction for their energy efficiency and compliance advantages in high-effluent industries," said Nikhil Kaitwade, FMI research analyst. "As water scarcity intensifies, these systems are becoming essential for industrial sustainability and regulatory adherence."
