Biological Wastewater Treatment Market Overview:
The biological wastewater treatment process is extensively used to treat urban wastewater and most of the industrial wastewater, thanks to low operating costs and simplicity of the process. Stringent regulations regarding the disposal of wastewater into the environment or for reuse, aging infrastructure, water scarcity & reusability of wastewater, rapidly growing population, and industrialization are major drivers responsible for the growth of the market.Biological Wastewater Treatment Market Dynamics:
Growth in industrialization and government policies for preserving water are the key factors driving the global market. Many of the industries require water in massive volume for daily operations. The usage of freshwater creates a scarcity of water for the population. With the assistance of biological wastewater treatment, industries can reuse water for operational processes, which significantly contributes toward the global market growth. In addition, the rapid expansion of pulp & paper, meat & poultry, chemical substances, pharmaceuticals, textile, dairy, breweries, oil & gas, and metal in developed and developing countries all over the globe is expected to propel for the biological wastewater treatment demand during the forecast period 2025-2032. Moreover, excessive biological oxygen demand (BOD) requirements in industrial wastewater treatment enhance the global market growth. The high cost of wastewater treatment is estimated to hamper market growth, across the globe. Excessive installation cost, high setup value, and complex setup act as the major challenges of the market growth. Furthermore, operational prices and sludge movement prices incur additional costs during the wastewater treatment, thus hampering the market growth. Moreover, the lack of research and development activities in this market restrains the growth of the market, all over the globe.Biological Wastewater Treatment Market Segment Analysis:
By Process, the automotive lead-acid batteries market is bifurcated into aerobic, and anaerobic. The aerobic segment held the largest market share of 59.4% in the year 2024. The aerobic treatment is primarily implemented as a secondary treatment process. The treatment is an efficient and rapid process that eliminates almost 98% of organic contaminants. The increasing need to oxygenate the wastewater by using mixers and aerators drives the application of biological aerobic treatment. Advantages of biological aerobic treatment include reduction in the level of greenhouse gas emissions, odor, and pathogens, and nitrification of ammonia into nitrate. These benefits are boosting the segment. The biological aerobic treatment can be easily performed at a range of organic and hydraulic rates and it gives high effluent quality. Moreover, the biological aerobic treatment requires less land in comparison to the traditional wastewater systems. The ability of the aerobic wastewater treatment process to handle a large amount of wastewater has driven the demand for this process. By End-Use Industry, the market is bifurcated into municipal, and industrial. The industrial segment is further segmented into pulp & paper, meat & poultry, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, others. The industrial segment accounted for the largest share of the market in 2024. The segment comprises industries like pharmaceuticals, meat & poultry, pulp & paper, chemicals, and oil & gas. The aerobic wastewater treatment is used to treat industrial waste streams containing carbon molecules and wastewater discharged from pulp and paper mills or food-related industries such as meat processing. Strict regulations imposed by governments on industrial wastewater discharge are fueling the use of biological wastewater treatment solutions among industries. The biological wastewater treatment with the Membrane Bio-Reactor (MBR) is extensively used for the treatment of highly contaminated industrial wastewaters.Biological Wastewater Treatment Market Recent Development
In July 2020, Suez Water Technologies & Solutions announced that it had acquired the reverse osmosis (RO) membrane portfolio of LANXESS, a specialty chemicals company. The acquisition of the portfolio is expected to enhance the company’s ability to help its customers resolve challenges related to water and wastewater treatment. The acquisition is also expected to support the company’s growth and investment strategy. In 2018, Aquatech International was awarded a contract for a new wastewater treatment plant for Fulcrum Bioenergy, a biorefinery plant in the US. Aquatech will supply a forced circulation crystallizer and a demineralization system. Aquatech will act as the Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) and Operations and Maintenance (O&M) on the construction of the project. The project is expected to be completed in 2024. In 2017, Evoqua Water Technologies LLC acquired ADI Systems (US) from ADI Group Inc. (US), a wastewater solutions company serving industrial and manufacturing sectors.Biological Wastewater Treatment Market Regional Insights:
