In December 2022, The Delhi government has planned to set up a water recycling unit of two million gallons per day (MGD) capacity in Bawana, a census town in northwest Delhi, according to an official statement made earlier this week. This will help provide round-the-clock water supply to the residents of the city, it added. Thus, such developments are expected to drive the growth of the studied market.

Restraints:

The market's expected expansion would be hampered by the high costs associated with properly disposing of tainted water

The market's growth is expected to be hampered by the high cost of wastewater treatment. The main market barrier to entry is the high operational expenses, sludge transportation costs, and other potential expenditures associated with water filtration. Additionally, biological wastewater treatment offers several options to address the issues, but it also needs space to set up the equipment and store the necessary water in gallons. The price and available area required for the setup are likely to limit market growth throughout the anticipated term.

COVID-19 and Russian War Impact on Biological Wastewater Treatment Market

The COVID-19 impact on the biological wastewater treatment market epidemic has affected the world economy by stopping the activities of various sectors. The World Health Organization determined that washing hands with soap and water is a basic process for combating coronaviruses. However, research has shown that about 3 billion people do not have access to safe drinking water. As a result, people are particularly vulnerable to the potentially lethal infection. As a result, governments are focusing more on the provision of safe drinking water. This has increased the global need for wastewater treatment. As a result, demand for biological wastewater treatment is expected to increase throughout the forecast period. Furthermore, the developments related to wastewater treatment during COVID-19 are expected to contribute to the growth of the studied market. For instance, in September 2020, the Suez Group took a new initiative to produce biological wastewater treatment market growth. Suez Group introduced SARS-CoV-2 presence sensors that can identify the British variation among other SARS-CoV-2 infections in wastewater networks. Approximately 13 million people in Spain today use this system, which was created by the Suez Group, in about 100 local communities. Thus, COVID-19 increased the demand for the wastewater treatment.  

The armed conflict between Ukraine and Russia that began in late February 2022 has far-reaching environmental consequences, especially regarding water resources and management. The impacts of the armed conflict on freshwater resources and water infrastructure in Ukraine highlight diverse and long-lasting consequences for local populations and thus it was reported that there was a growing need for wastewater treatment in order the safeguard the water resources thus increasing the demand for waste water treatment.

Segmental Analysis:

The Process Aerobic Segment is Expected to Witness Significant Growth Over the Forecast Period

Aerobic treatment of wastewater is a biological process that uses oxygen to break down organic contaminants and other pollutants like nitrogen and phosphorous. Oxygen is continuously mixed into the wastewater or sewage by a mechanical aeration device, such as an air blower or compressor. Furthermore, the recent developments are expected to drive the growth of the segment. For instance, in August 2023, BCL6000™ is a blend of aerobic and facultative anaerobic microorganisms in liquid form. It is effective in degrading many types of waste and is especially convenient for ongoing maintenance because it can be applied by automatic pumping. BCL6000 improves treatment plant performance while keeping odors, BOD, and foam in check. The main benefits can be summarized as follows: better effluent quality, lower BOD, fewer unpleasant odors, reduced plant upsets from shocks, and improved sludge settling.

The Industrial Segment is Expected to Witness High Growth Over the Forecast Period.

Industrial wastewater treatment describes the processes used for treating wastewater that is produced by industries as an undesirable by-product. After treatment, the treated industrial wastewater (or effluent) may be reused or released to a sanitary sewer or to surface water in the environment. Some industrial facilities generate wastewater that can be treated in sewage treatment plants. Most industrial processes, such as petroleum refineries, and chemical and petrochemical plants have their specialized facilities to treat their wastewater so that the pollutant concentrations in the treated wastewater comply with the regulations regarding disposal of wastewater into sewers or rivers, lakes, or oceans.

The North American region is Expected to Witness High Growth Over the Forecast Period

The North American biological wastewater treatment market analysis is expected to account for the highest market share due to the high demand for biological wastewater treatment driven by rapid urbanization, the expanding need for sophisticated household water treatment, developments in membrane technology, accelerated environmental deterioration, the region's restricted water resource availability, and the rise in number of public sector entities investing in water infrastructure.
