Saudi Arabia Solar Water Desalination Plant Market Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2028

The Saudi Arabia Solar Water Desalination Plants Market is expected to register a high CAGR during the forecast period.

Saudi Arabia is the world's largest nation without access to running surface water with one of the highest water consumption rates. The use of solar energy for water desalination is gaining popularity in Saudi Arabia, a country that is characterized by its arid climate and limited freshwater resources. The country has set ambitious targets to increase its reliance on renewable energy sources, including solar, as part of its Vision 2030 initiative.

Total water consumption has surpassed 8 million cubic meters per day (m3/d) and is expected to reach 12.3 million m3/d by 2040, with daily water consumption per person at 263 liters in 2019.

As of 2019, Saudi Arabia had 204 wastewater treatment facilities. Much of the non-potable wastewater that had been processed was used for 'grey water' irrigating crops, watering urban green spaces, or being recycled in the industrial sector. The Kingdom's water reuse market is estimated to be worth $4.69 billion, placing it third in the world behind China and the United States. Treated and repurposed wastewater is less expensive to produce on average than desalinated water; as a result, the country regards it as a critical source of water for certain uses and has set a goal of achieving 100% reuse of treated urban wastewater by 2025.

High installation cost

The installation of a solar water desalination plant is costly. Solar water desalination plants necessitate a significant amount of sludge, energy, and money. Additionally, specialized knowledge and abilities are required, and chemicals such as hydrogen peroxide, chlorine, and hydrochloric acid are used as byproducts prior to the desalination process. Saline water desalination plants discharge large amounts of brine into the ocean or sea. In addition to concentrated salt, this brine contains chemicals such as anti-scaling agents from pre and post-treatment. As a result, brine disposal is a concern that may slow the rate of adoption of all desalination processes.

Municipal industry contributes significantly

The municipal industry contributes significantly to the solar water desalination plant's CAGR. The municipal segment is expected to experience strong revenue growth over the forecast period due to urbanization and the resulting expansion of urban infrastructure, which has increased demand for resources such as water and electricity. The municipal sector provides water fit for human consumption to the world's urban population. Furthermore, the municipal sector is expected to see an increase in demand for solar water desalination plants as the cost of desalinated waterfalls and the cost of surface water in urban areas rises.
