GCC Water and Waste Water Treatment Chemicals Market Research Report

Market Overview: 

The GCC water and waste water treatment chemicals market size reached USD 742.1 Million in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 1,661.8 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 10.6% during 2025-2033. The growing focus on the proper treatment of drinking water to suppress the spread of waterborne diseases, increasing utilization of treated water in industries for various processes, and rising popularity of smart water management techniques represent some of the key factors driving the market.

Water and wastewater treatment chemicals encompass a wide range of chemical substances designed to improve the quality of water by removing contaminants, pathogens, and undesirable elements. They comprise coagulants, such as alum, ferric chloride, and polymeric coagulants, which are high-molecular-weight compounds and aid in flocculation, helping particles agglomerate and settle. They also consist of disinfectants, like chlorine gas, sodium hypochlorite, chloramines, and chlorine dioxide, which are employed to disinfect pathogens in water. They include pH adjusters and numerous oxidizing agents, including hydrogen peroxide, ozone, and potassium permanganate, which are used for oxidation and reduction reactions to remove iron, manganese, and organic compounds. They remove negatively charged ions, such as nitrates and sulfates, and organic compounds, color, and odor from water through adsorption. They help to increase pH in acidic waters and aid in the purification of both drinking water and wastewater before they are released back into the environment. They are used to control foam in wastewater treatment processes that can hinder efficient operations. They are also employed to exchange positively charged ions in water, such as calcium and magnesium ions, with sodium ions. Furthermore, as they enhance particle aggregation and settling, their demand is increasing in the GCC region.
