Saudi Arabia Water Treatment Systems Market is anticipated to grow at
a good pace in the forecast period, 2024-2028, The increase in government programs for clean,
purified water, the rate of water pollution brought on by industrialization,
and the uncontrolled disposal of chemical waste and building debris in the water bodies all contribute to the market's
growth.
Water treatment refers to any process that
improves the quality of water to make it suitable for a certain end purpose.
The final use could involve being safely disposed of back into the environment,
drinking, irrigation, sustaining river flow, enjoying water, or a variety of
other uses. Water treatment involves eliminating contaminants and undesired
components or reducing their concentration to make the water appropriate for
the intended end use. This process is essential for maintaining human health
and makes it possible to use water for irrigation and drinking.
The Saudi Water Forum, which held under the
theme "Sustainable Water for Sustainable Development in 2019 in Riyadh aims
to shed light on the efforts and future directions of the water sector in
accordance with Vision 2030 and the National Water Strategy, attracted a number
of government ministers and senior officials in the water sector from both
inside and outside the Kingdom.
The current water supply is unlikely to meet
the constantly increasing water needs due to urbanization and economic
development. In order to make water appropriate for end applications, like
drinking, cooking, irrigation, and industrial purposes, to name a few, the water
treatment industry uses cutting-edge methods of water treatment. Boiler water
treatment, cooling water treatment, water purification, and wastewater effluent
treatment are the four fundamental procedures used by water treatment systems.
The
US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has established criteria for the
quality of the drinking water supply under the Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974.
The agency also executes several financial and technical projects to protect
drinking water quality with its partners.
Technological advancements and increasing
R&D driving the market
The development of
energy-efficient water technology systems, on the other hand, was a result of
technological development and rising R&D activity. For instance, Pure Aqua
Inc. created an energy-efficient reverse osmosis system that, when compared to
traditional reverse osmosis systems, can successfully filter-off undesired
dissolved solids in the water while using around 30% less electricity. In
addition, the development of automation, remote control, and communication
technologies in water treatment systems has compelled their makers to maximize
operational flexibility in order to reduce running costs. This could enhance
the need for automated water treatment technologies across a range of end-use
industries, which is anticipated to open up attractive new market
opportunities. In addition, the Fourth Industrial Revolution's applications are
being adopted (Industry 4.0). In line with its crucial role in Saudi Vision
2030 and the National Industrial Development and Logistics Program, such will
be carried out as part of MODON's strategy to enable industry and increase
local content (NIDLP). The pilot plant will play a crucial part in meeting
Saudi Arabia's water needs by processing 25,000–50,000 litres of wastewater per
day. Since it will be the first instance in the area of wastewater purification
with low energy costs, MODON decided to pilot the AnMBR (anaerobic membrane
bioreactor) at this size. At the MODON site, the pilot reactor is now in use. The
amount of wastewater that is treated varies greatly across Saudi Arabia: 78% of
wastewater is treated in Dammam, 60% in Riyadh, and barely 50% in Jeddah. There
is no centralised wastewater treatment in several cities, like Al
Bahah and Najran.
Increasing Demand for Water for Daily Use Purpose is Driving Market
Growth
Saudi Arabia is one of the most populous nations
in the Middle East. Saudi Arabia's population is expected to be around 36.2
million in 2023, and the nation
struggles to meet the need for clean, safe water for daily consumption. In the
kingdom of Saudi Arabia, where industrial businesses are primarily located in
the east of the nation, water purification is a necessity in almost all sectors
of the economy. To meet the needs of country's expanding population, rising demand
for water treatment systems, the Saudi Arabian government has started to build
numerous water treatment and desalination plants. Household water consumption
is increasing at a pace of 7.5% each year.
Rising Demand from Growing Industries
Since the start of the year
2022, 501 industrial licences have been granted to various enterprises in the
kingdom of Saudi Arabia, according to the MIMR (Ministry of Industry and
Mineral Resources), which published this information in its annual bulletin. In
Saudi Arabia, more than 300 factories typically open up each year, and by
2022, the country's industrial sector received around USD 5.2 billion in
investments. Most industrial water-based activities, including processing,
cleaning, heating, cooling, and rinsing, can be improved with the help of water
treatment techniques, which also lower operational costs. As a result, the
demand for chemicals used in water treatment procedures will rise in proportion
to the country's growing industrial sector, and due to which water treatment
systems market will grow.
Extreme Climatic Conditions Driving Market Growth
Saudi Arabia still has a desert-like landscape
covering around 90% of its land, which is a big concern because farming would
require adequate terrain. Since groundwater is the only supply of water for
natives in Saudi Arabia, the country's shortage of water sources is a big
source of issue for them. Because Saudi Arabia is located in the dry region of
the planet, there aren't many rivers or lakes there, which means there aren't
any reliable, renewable surface water supplies. Very high evaporation rates are
brought on by the hot weather, sandstorms, and scant surface precipitation. These
elements exacerbate erosion, exacerbate the arid climate, and hasten
desertification in the area. As a result, the country desperately needs water
treatment techniques, which
will fuel the demand for water treatment systems market.
Recent Developments:
- A USD 5.36 million, two-year agreement was reached
in January 2021 by Saudi Arabia's National Water Company (NWC) and a French
utility business to reduce the amount of water lost during the nation's water
production process.
- The
Al-Haer Independent Sewage Treatment Plant Project in Riyadh has been the
subject of a request for bids from Saudi Water Partnership Corporation as of
November 2022. The project, which would have a daily capacity of about 200,000
cubic meters, is anticipated to begin operating in 2026.
- Shuqaiq
3 desalination plant, which is in Jizan province and has a rated production
capacity of 450,000 cubic meters per day, was launched in Saudi Arabia in
January 2022.
- The
King Abdullah University of Science and Technology completed the construction
of its mobile wastewater treatment facility in February 2023. The system, which
effectively processes wastewater and transforms it into drinkable water for
locations not connected to the main sewage network, is the first of its type in
the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
- The
General Administration of Statistics of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia revealed in
December 2022 that 133 new wastewater treatment facilities had been built
across the kingdom in 2021, resulting in the reuse of 419 million cubic meters
of treated water.
