Dublin, April 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Green Water Treatment Chemicals Market by Type (Coagulant & Flocculants, Corrosion & Scale Inhibitors, Biocides & Disinfectants), Source (Plant, Animal, Mineral), Application, End-Use Industry (Municipal, Industrial), and Region - Global Forecast to 2029" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The green water treatment chemicals market is projected to reach USD 2.25 billion by 2029 from USD 1.70 billion in 2025, at a CAGR of 7.2% during the forecast period.
The primary force behind this shift is both stronger regulatory standards aiming to create sustainable industrial operations and growing environmental consciousness worldwide. Governments alongside organizations are establishing rules that stimulate projects using biodegradable and environmentally safe water treatment chemicals to address global water shortage issues and environmental pollution and climate change concerns.
Physical data represent a key industry shift because various companies now increase their investments in environmentally friendly solutions which satisfy regulatory mandates while delivering operational benefits and economical returns. The acceleration of green water treatment chemical adoption in various sectors stems from rising wastewater management needs for rapid industrialization throughout different domains such as oil and gas and power production as well as municipal water facilities. Market trends show industries are increasingly concentrating on creating new environmentally friendly products specifically designed to tackle the needs of multiple sectors.
The accelerating growth of cities and increasing populations in developing nations produces major prospects for green water treatment methods which serve as effective wastewater management tools for sustainable water supplies. The advancement of green chemistry technologies makes it possible to engineer more efficient coagulants and flocculants and disinfectants which reduce harmful residues while preserving high performance levels. A surge in consumer environmental awareness puts industries under increasing pressure to introduce greener products which drives market growth forward. Scientific research and growing customer interest together with national regulations create ideal conditions for significant green water treatment chemicals market growth during the upcoming period.
The largest share of the green water treatment chemicals market, by application is that of wastewater treatment
The wastewater treatment industry drives rapid growth of green water treatment chemicals markets because sustainability demands meet stricter environmental standards. Industrial operators face rising environmental standards that make it crucial for them to adopt biodegradable and non-toxic chemical replacements for their current treatments. Industrial wastewater discharge faces restrictive regulations from national authorities and international bodies which force businesses toward adopting sustainable methods.
The transformation becomes essential for industries such as oil and gas and power generation and food manufacturing since successful wastewater management remains vital for adhering to environmental requirements. The consumer movement toward environmentally sustainable practices prompt industry investment in green water treatment technologies which simultaneously improves production efficiency and reduces operational expenses over time. The market for green water treatment chemicals serving wastewater management continues to expand due to increased water recycling efforts.
Urban growth coupled with expanding populations heightens water purification requirements demanding sophisticated treatment solutions compatible with sustainable development objectives. Green water treatment chemicals consisting of biodegradable coagulants and flocculating agents effectively handle municipal and industrial wastewater while maintaining clean pollutant-free water sources. The advancement of sustainable practices depends on green chemical technology which enables researchers to create efficient new products that adhere to all requirements while maintaining greater efficiency. Alongside regulatory demands and customer interest in sustainability along with continuous technological development green water treatment chemicals present a rapidly increasing sector inside the wider water treatment industry.
North America is the third-largest region for green water treatment chemicals market
North America is expected to be the third-largest region for green water treatment chemicals market, driven by several factors. This is due to its extensive environmental regulations combined with Significant industrial needs and strong water infrastructure policies. Environmental regulations in the region force industries to transition away from traditional chemicals because of the Clean Water Act and corresponding environment-friendly alternative requirements.
The three primary sectors of oil & gas operations alongside power generation facilities together with municipal wastewater treatment agencies all demonstrate urgent needs to strengthen water quality standards while reducing their industrial wastewater contamination. Sustainability-related consumer and industry trends are raising market demands for biodegradable coagulants and non-toxic flocculants that help organizations meet regulations while maximizing operational effectiveness. The North American market dominates the green water treatment chemicals industry because of increasing environmental conservation and sustainable industrial practices throughout the region.
