The Middle East & Africa Water and Wastewater Treatment Market to reach $44.5 billion by 2030 at a CAGR of 4.1% during 2024–2030. The growth of the Middle East & Africa water and wastewater treatment market is driven by the increasing prevalence of waterborne diseases, lack of freshwater resources, and stringent water treatment regulations. However, high installation, maintenance, and operating costs restrain the growth of the Middle East & Africa water and wastewater treatment market. Furthermore, the growing demand for energy-efficient and advanced water treatment technologies is expected to create growth opportunities in the market. However, one of the major challenges for the players operating in this market is the lack of waste collection & treatment infrastructure.
The Rising Prevalence of Waterborne Diseases to Drive Market Growth
Waterborne diseases are caused by various microorganisms, biotoxins, and toxic contaminants, leading to devastating illnesses such as cholera, schistosomiasis, and gastrointestinal problems. Outbreaks of waterborne diseases often occur after a severe precipitation event (rainfall, snowfall). Climate changes increase the severity and frequency of major precipitation events. Communities, especially in the developing world, face elevated risks from waterborne diseases.
Water treatment processes can easily control the transmission of waterborne diseases and reduce the number of cases to acceptable levels. The risk from waterborne pathogens can be controlled through integrated processes such as risk analysis or hazard assessment and control. Wastewater treatment consists of processes used in steps to remove, kill, or "inactivate" a large portion of the pollutants and disease-causing organisms in wastewater. Wastewater treatment involves the removal of solid waste; a combination of filtration and biological and chemical processes for bacterial treatment; and finally, disinfection treatment such as chlorination, ozonation, UV treatment, or other chemical agents inactivate many pathogens that manage to survive previous treatment processes.
Advanced wastewater treatment processes such as physicochemical treatment, combined biological-physical treatment, sequenced anaerobic/aerobic bioprocesses, chemical oxidation, membrane filtration, etc., are increasingly used in wastewater treatment. With these new tools and advanced water treatments, it is possible to reduce waterborne diseases. Thus, the growing prevalence of waterborne diseases drives the adoption of water treatment systems, accelerating the growth of the Middle East & Africa water and wastewater treatment market.
