Primary technology accounts for the highest market share of 55% in 2022. These technologies are commonly used for water treatment and play a significant role in the production of high-quality recycled water. Microfiltration is a water filtration process that uses microporous membranes to separate waste, bacteria, and other large particles from the water. It operates in large pore sizes (0.1 to 10 microns) compared to other membrane systems. These primary technologies are widely used in water treatment and recycling processes to remove contaminants, solids, salts, and impurities from various water sources. Their application depends on factors such as the quality of the source water, desired water quality standards, and the specific requirements of the water recycle and reuse project.
The municipal segment held a dominant share of water recycle and reuse market share in 2022 and will foresee 11% growth through 2032. Treatment technologies play an important role in the use & reuse of water by removing contaminants, bacteria, and impurities from wastewater and producing water that is safe for use and meets unused water standards. Continuous advancements in treatment processes have significantly improved the efficiency & effectiveness of water recycling. Innovations in membrane filtration, such as reverse osmosis and ultrafiltration, have enhanced the removal of microscopic particles, salts, and contaminants from wastewater, thereby contributing to the overall business development.
North America dominated the water recycle and reuse industry with a global share of 45% in 2022. The rising industrial sector in the region is set to bolster the industry statistics. Businesses in the region are increasingly realizing the importance of water efficiency and sustainability in reducing costs, complying with regulations, and improving environmental performance. Cities in North America are actively seeking water recycling and reuse to increase water availability and reduce dependence on freshwater. This includes treating wastewater for non-consumptive uses such as landscape irrigation, industrial, and groundwater purposes.
