Water Treatment Chemicals Market size was over USD 38.3 billion in 2024 and is anticipated to cross USD 65.88 billion by the end of 2037, growing at more than 4.4% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of water treatment chemicals is estimated at USD 39.62 billion.
Increasing regulatory and sustainability measures put forward by various organizations all over the world on water and wastewater treatment have raised the requirement for water treatment chemicals. In developed regions such as North America and Europe, these regulations are highly strict. In Canada, the Wastewater Effluent Regulations found under the Fisheries Act consist of some minimum effluent quality standards that can be achieved with the help of water treatment chemicals.
This growth is driven by increasing demand from the sugar and ethanol, fertilizer, geothermal, petrochemical manufacturing, and refining sectors, particularly in developing markets. The market for various types of water treatment chemicals such as flocculants and coagulants, defoamers, corrosion inhibitors, and pH improvers is expected to grow exponentially owing to the rapid development and urbanization of the industrial sector.

End-User (Oil & Gas, Power, Municipal, Pulp & Paper, Chemical Manufacturing)
The municipal segment in the water treatment chemicals market is assumed to witness the largest revenue in the predicted period. Water treatment chemicals are widely used in the municipal wastewater treatment procedure. This treatment is done in municipal wastewater before it is exposed to the environment to stop any kind of damage to the environment and prevent the spread of harmful diseases. In Mexico, there are approximately 2,477 municipal wastewater treatment plants, 2,639 wastewater purification plants, 874 potable water treatment plants, and 435 desalination units. Therefore owing to these factors the segment is estimated to grow rapidly over the upcoming decades.
Type (Coagulants & Flocculants, Corrosion Inhibitors, Scale Inhibitors, Biocides & Disinfectants, Chelating Agents)
Water treatment chemicals market from the coagulants & flocculants segment is expected to hold the largest share of 40% during the forecast upcoming decades in terms of type segmentation. Coagulants and flocculants are one of the most widely used water treatment chemicals highly consumed owing to their wide variety of properties and easier usage for the treatment of water. Therefore owing to these factors the segment is estimated to grow rapidly over the upcoming decades.

APAC Market Forecast
The water treatment chemicals market in the Asia Pacific is estimated to acquire the largest share of 37% and witness significant growth over the forecast period on the back of rapidly growing urbanization, which is expected to boost the growth of end-user industries of the product in the region including chemical, power, and oil & gas.
Furthermore, increasing urbanization and growth in China are projected to fuel numerous industries such as municipal, industrial, food & beverage, oil & gas, and others, owing to the high need for fresh water in these sectors, which is expected to drive the growth of the market. As per International Trade Administration, China is planning to construct 80,000 km sewage collection pipeline networks and grow the sewage treatment capacity by 20 million cubic meters between 2021 and 2025.
North American Market Statistics
The water treatment chemicals market in North America is also predicted to occupy a notable share during the estimated period, which can be credited to the rising penetration of water treatment facilities in the upstream oil & gas sector, and soaring water scarcity in the region.
Furthermore, In Canada and the United States, the increasing demand for water and wastewater treatment in the municipal and industrial sectors owing to the wide properties of water treatment chemicals is estimated to drive market growth. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) places a strong focus on the improvement of water and sewage facilities, especially in the local wastewater treatment domain, and plans to invest an estimated USD 600 billion in capital improvements over the next 20 years.
