Solar Water Desalination Plant Market size to exceed $7.21 Billion by 2037 | Elemental Water Makers B.V., Water Office, ACCIONA, Harbin ROPV Industrial Co LTD, TotalEnergies SE
Solar Water Desalination Plant Market
The solar water desalination plant market is entering a period of accelerated adoption as nations confront escalating water scarcity, rising energy costs, and increasing pressure to transition toward sustainable infrastructure. Solar-powered desalination solutions-once considered experimental-are now maturing into commercially viable, scalable technologies capable of supplying freshwater to industrial hubs, coastal communities, and arid regions worldwide.
According to the latest industry assessment, the global market is valued at USD 3.03 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 7.21 billion by 2037, expanding at a 7.4% CAGR during the forecast period. Growth is propelled by rising demand for clean water, stringent environmental regulations, and a global shift toward low-carbon desalination technologies.
Solar desalination plants utilize photovoltaic (PV) and solar thermal energy to power reverse osmosis, multi-effect distillation, and hybrid purification systems. This renewable-driven approach significantly reduces operational costs, carbon emissions, and dependency on fossil-fuel-powered desalination systems-making it an increasingly strategic option for governments, industries, and humanitarian organizations.

Regional Performance Highlights
North America continues to be an early adopter of solar desalination technologies, driven by severe drought cycles across the western United States and the growing need for climate-resilient water systems. The U.S. is investing in community-scale solar desalination installations, industrial brine reduction facilities, and large-scale pilot projects integrating solar thermal energy. Canada, meanwhile, is exploring solar desalination for remote communities and mining regions where conventional water supply is limited.
Europe's market is strongly influenced by the EU's Green Deal and circular economy objectives. Southern European regions-including Spain, Greece, and Italy-are expanding solar desalination as part of their climate adaptation strategies. The region also leads in policy support for renewable water treatment, emphasizing low-emission desalination technologies for agriculture, tourism-dependent islands, and industrial water recycling.
Asia Pacific remains the fastest-growing and most influential region, projected to command 42% market share by 2037. Countries such as India, China, Australia, and Saudi Arabia (APAC classification in several industry models includes Middle East for desalination) are driving large-scale investments in solar-powered desalination due to extreme water stress and rapidly expanding industrial sectors. Government-led initiatives to deploy renewable-powered water infrastructure across deserts, coastal belts, and remote islands are accelerating demand across the region.

Market Segmentation
The industrial segment accounts for 40% of the total demand, making it the largest beneficiary of solar desalination adoption. Industries such as oil & gas, chemicals, power generation, mining, data centers, and manufacturing are integrating solar desalination to secure a stable, cost-efficient water supply while reducing emissions and lowering operational expenses. Industrial players are increasingly opting for hybrid solar-RO systems to treat wastewater, manage brine discharge, and achieve high-recovery purification.
Solar-powered reverse osmosis (RO) dominates the technology landscape due to its high efficiency, modular design, and compatibility with both PV and concentrated solar power (CSP) systems. Solar RO solutions are widely adopted in coastal cities, rural communities, municipal utilities, and industrial estates. Their scalability-ranging from small 10 m3/day units to multi-million-liter plants-makes them particularly valuable in remote and off-grid environments.
