The Middle East & Africa cooling water treatment chemicals market was valued at US$ 474.86 million in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 731.58 million by 2030; it is estimated to register a CAGR of 5.6% from 2022 to 2030.
Green chemicals are extracted from vegetables and renewable feedstock, and they make use of the chemical and colloidal properties of certain plant extracts. They don't exhibit harmful side effects on humans and are biodegradable. Green chemicals have functionality that is equivalent to synthetic ones. Thus, manufacturers providing water treatment chemicals are expanding their product lines with these green chemicals.
Rapid industrialization, increasing population, and changing climatic conditions, along with the growing water scarcity problems, have triggered the necessity to reuse wastewater in the Middle East. The growing preference for saline water treatment to cater to the increasing demand for water in industries is further anticipated to drive the market for cooling water treatment chemicals in the Middle East during the forecast period.
Cooling water treatment chemicals play a key role in industries such as power, petrochemicals, oil & gas, and food & beverages. Strict government regulations regulating the treatment of industrial and municipal wastewater trigger the demand for cooling water treatment chemicals in the Middle East & Africa. Groundwater reduction and contamination are among the major concerns faced by governments of Middle Eastern countries. As a result, they have enforced restrictions and limitations on the use of groundwater.
Industrial plant setup costs are dropping in the region because governments are providing incentives to build wastewater treatment plants as a part of efforts to discourage the utilization of groundwater. Emerging technologies such as advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), membrane filtration, and UV irradiation are being used on a large scale for treating industrial water in the Middle East. Therefore, the rising installation of water treatment systems in the Middle East & Africa is propelling the demand for cooling water treatment chemicals.
Shifting Focus Toward Green Chemicals Bolsters Middle East & Africa Cooling Water Treatment Chemicals Market
The chemicals used in various industries for water treatment harm the environment to a great extent and lead to severe health hazards among people exposed to them. Industries are seeking ways to improve their operations and make them eco-friendly. Rising awareness about global warming and other environmental issues has forced several industries to shift their focus toward safer options. This has encouraged manufacturers of water treatment chemicals to innovate and develop more sustainable and reliable products.Green chemicals are extracted from vegetables and renewable feedstock, and they make use of the chemical and colloidal properties of certain plant extracts. They don't exhibit harmful side effects on humans and are biodegradable. Green chemicals have functionality that is equivalent to synthetic ones.
