Global Industrial Sludge Treatment Chemicals Market to Reach USD 10.1 Billion by 2033, Impelled by Implementation of Sustainable Waste Management Programs

December 12, 2024 | Chemical & Materials

The latest report by IMARC Group, titled "Industrial Sludge Treatment Chemicals Market Report by Sludge Type (Activated Sludge, Primary Sludge, Mixed Sludge, and Others), Process Chemical (Flocculants, Coagulants, Disinfectants, and Others), Process Treatment (Conditioning and Stabilization Treatment, Dewatering and Drying Treatment, Thickening Treatment, Digestion Treatment), End User (Food and Beverages, Personal Care, Chemicals, Pulp and Paper, Municipal Wastewater, and Others), and Region 2025-2033," finds that the global industrial sludge treatment chemicals market size reached USD 6.9 Billion in 2024. Industrial sludge treatment chemicals are used to treat and process the sludge generated from various industrial processes. Sludge is a semi-solid residue left over after the treatment of wastewater, containing various organic and inorganic materials, heavy metals, and other contaminants. It is treated with various chemicals comprising coagulants, pH adjusters, oxidizing agents, reducing agents, and disinfectants. They aid in separating water from solids, improving the dewatering of sludge, reducing odor, and making it less prone to decomposition and degradation. Owing to these properties, industrial sludge treatment chemicals are widely utilized across oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, chemicals manufacturing, and mining and metals industries.

Global Industrial Sludge Treatment Chemicals Market Trends:

The market is primarily driven by the implementation of sustainable waste management programs by governments of numerous countries to promote the effective treatment of industrial sludge. In addition, the growing population and rapid industrialization represent another major growth-inducing factor. Besides this, the market is also propelled by the rising utilization of natural and biodegradable chemicals in sludge treatment to minimize the harmful effects on the environment. Moreover, there has been an escalating demand for high-performance industrial sludge treatment technologies, such as thermal hydrolysis, membrane filtration, and anaerobic digestion, that help filter out contaminants and use high pressures and temperatures to break down the organic matter and produce biogas from sludge. This, coupled with the rising number of wastewater treatment plants, is positively influencing the market growth. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market value to reach USD 10.1 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.08% during the forecast period (2025-2033).
