The Major Reverse Osmosis System Components for Water Treatment Market was valued at USD 18.8 billion in 2024, and is projected to reach USD 32 billion by 2029, rising at a CAGR of 11.20%. The RO system consists of five major components, including cartridge prefilters, ancillary components, RO membrane modules, RO pumps and pressure vessels/housings. Cartridge prefilters have dominance in terms of revenue, as this component is used as a prefiltration technology for RO systems. The other segments, such as RO pumps and pressure vessels/housings, are growing at almost similar CAGRs due to their low replacement rate and following the same rates at which initial demand of RO systems has been recorded.
The report's scope includes categories of operating pressure: 10-100 psi, 100-400 psi and 400 psi and above, which are related to applications and end users. The high range of operating pressure is associated with industrial end users and for some parts of brackish and seawater desalination, wastewater treatment and others.
The market's application segment includes municipal water purification, brackish and seawater desalination and wastewater treatment. Among these, brackish seawater desalination has the highest share in 2023, 36.9%, followed by wastewater treatment with a 35.0% market share. The municipal water purification segment is expected to record the highest CAGR of 13.2% during the forecast period. The regional analysis of the major RO system components industry shows the highest holding of the APAC region at 33.2% in 2023, which has recorded a growth trend of 13.7% during the forecast period 2024 to 2029 and will maintain the significant shareholding in the global marketplace at a rate of 37.8% by 2029. The regional growth is supported by the high adoption of RO systems in all three major segments (municipal, industrial and agricultural) in APAC countries. The ASEAN countries and Australia are actively adopting RO systems, while China is continually working on improving water extraction through desalination methods. Therefore, the individual performance of countries, depending upon geographical locations, adoption rate, awareness related to freshwater usage and availability of freshwater resources, are all acting as growth drivers for cumulative performance of the market of APAC RO system components for water treatment.
Companies like 3M, Veolia Environnment S.A., Parker Hannifin Corp. and Flowserve Corp. are some of the major companies around the world that are performing well on the RO components front. Largescale companies are focusing more on product innovation and investment in R&D for RO components to make them energy efficient and to cater to the broader range of customers that are using RO systems at municipal and industrial levels. For instance, in March 2023, Veolia Water Technologies & Solutions partnered with Facens University Center to open a laboratory for R&D, academic learning and professional training with the goal of developing sustainability projects involving both Veolia employees and Facens students. Meanwhile, small-scale companies like Entegris, Flowserve, Grundfos, Hydranautics (A Nitto Group Company) and Parker Hannifin Corp. are catering to a narrow range of demand for RO components through competitive strategies like product launch and business expansion.
For instance, in October 2022, Grundfos opened a new in-house testing facility for submersible pumps at its South Australian headquarters that has boosted its capacity to test more than 16,000 pumps annually. During the same period, Grundfos also opened a plant in Serbia. This extension adds an additional 17,000 sqm to its Serbian facilities. The expanded plant will serve a global market, primarily including circulator pumps, domestic wastewater pumps, domestic pressure boosters and integrated water circuits (IWCs).
