7 Water and Wastewater Treatment
7.11.3 Australia
Economic development and urbanization will increase demand for freshwater, thus
promote the use of water treatment chemicals. Substituting products that act as
alternatives to the water treatment chemicals will likely deter market growth. More
production of biogas and biosolids and changing focus to the use of green chemicals
will act as market opportunities in the future. Since many natural water resources
have reached allocation limits, the industry needs an economic valuation and water
innovation and co-operation across sectors which could lead to more demand for
water treatment chemicals for the municipal operations in coming years. Many
municipal dewatering facilities (medium to large) will make the change to screw
press-based dewatering.
7.11.4 Europe
Juyal (2018, p. 1) predicts that “the global water and wastewater treatment equipment market can attain a valuation of around USD 103.41 billion by 2025.” There
will be a higher demand for freshwater from various segments, thus driving the
growth of the international industry. The industry will create substantial growth
opportunities for both tertiary and secondary water and wastewater treatment
equipment.
7.11.5 North America
North America will mainly be characterized by reduced groundwater pumping.
Industries will reduce the use of underground aquifers. Water control bodies and
governments will develop sustainable water systems that include designing water
treatment models and the development of centralized systems for appropriate
distribution.
7.11.6 South America
In South America, concerted efforts will be put in place to enhance preparedness for
better resiliency. Industry stakeholders will develop resilience plans for mitigating
frequent natural disasters. Managing high stormwater flows needs water treatment
devices with high capacity. Higher budgets allocated for emergencies will create
more business opportunities for instrument manufacturers. It will also encourage
budgetary reforms for developing advanced technologies. In addition, there will be
