Water Treatment System - Overview

A water treatment system is a method of passing water through a water system that may include one or more filters to remove turbidity, taste, color, iron, or odor, as well as certain chemicals such as chlorine. Moreover, to provide safe drinking water to their communities, public drinking water systems employ a variety of water treatment methods. Furthermore, water treatment removes or reduces the concentration of contaminants and undesirable components so that the water is fit for its intended end-use. Water treatment is critical for human health because it allows people to benefit from both drinking and irrigation. Coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, filtration, and disinfection are common water treatment steps used by water systems.

UAE Water Treatment Systems Market Forecast and Trends

Growth Drivers

Increased Emphasis on Avoiding Food or Beverage Contamination

In the food and beverage industry, contamination is a major concern. To reduce contamination in the food and beverage production process, government and regulatory authorities are establishing strict rules. As a result, the use of water treatment systems is increasing. Dairy processing industries, for example, are concerned about contamination because milk is susceptible to contamination by bacteria and other microorganisms. In the food and beverage industry, techniques such as reverse osmosis, UV disinfection, and others are commonly used. Water treatment systems in the food and beverage industry help disinfect and sterilize water by removing dangerous organisms and contaminants. The purity, safety, and quality of water are driving up demand for water treatment.

Beverage Taste and Clarity Improvements

Filtering improves both the taste and appearance of beverages. Furthermore, water treatment in beverages plays an important role in ensuring hygiene and efficient production while improving product taste. As a result, water treatment systems are increasingly popular in the beverage industry. Furthermore, rising health concerns have increased the demand for low-salt or low-sugar beverages, which is fueling the use of water treatment systems to remove excess minerals and salts from beverages. The rise in health consciousness is expected to increase consumption of energy drinks in the coming years, contributing to the market's growth as production of such drinks rises.

Increasing Population and Industrialization

Chemically treated water demand has increased as a result of increased population and industrialization in many end-use segments where water treatment technology is used to provide clean and drinkable water. This could be one of the key drivers driving the growth of the water treatment technology market. Furthermore, the region has seen a decline in water quality as a result of large-scale industrialization, resulting in a scarcity of freshwater resources, prompting governments to focus more on water treatment technologies for producing clean and potable water. During the forecast period, this will fuel the growth of the water treatment technology market. All these factors boost the growth of the UAE Treatment Systems Market during the forecast period (2022-2028).

Restraints

High Equipment and Installation Cost

The high cost of water purification equipment, particularly the RO and UV processes, is expected to stifle the growth of the UAE residential water treatment equipment market. The product's limited use due to the region's scarcity of water is expected to limit the market growth. Moreover, some point-of-use water treatment systems have high operating and maintenance costs. Distillation systems, for example, use a significant amount of energy for both cooling and heating. Furthermore, the lack of product availability as the market is largely untapped is expected to stymie the growth of the residential water treatment equipment market. All these factors hinder the growth of the UAE Water Treatment Systems Market

Impact of COVID-19 on UAE Water Treatment Systems Market

People are more concerned about their health during the COVID-19 pandemic and are taking extra precautions to ensure their safety. In addition, the work-from-home culture has increased the demand for water treatment systems in the residential sector. However, the high installation, equipment, and operation costs are the primary impediment to the market's growth. Because of health concerns, rising demand for high-quality drinking water, and increased customer access to point-of-use devices through retail channels, the water treatment systems industry is expanding overall. Companies are focusing on manufacturing eco-friendly water treatment systems in response to stringent government regulations imposed by various countries.

UAE Water Treatment Systems Market - By Technology

Based on the technology, the UAE Water Treatment Market is segmented into Water Softeners, Filtration technology (Membrane Filtration, Activated Carbon Filtration, Mechanical filters, Others), Disinfection Methods (Chlorination, UV Radiation, Ozonation), Reverse Osmosis, Distillation, Others. Among these, Filtration technology comprising Membrane Filtration accounts for the largest market share owing to its versatility, low operational and initial costs. Moreover, the primary purpose of water filtration is to prevent water-borne illnesses and diseases. Furthermore, a water filtration system is the most effective method for removing water impurities and dangerous contaminants like chlorine, disinfection byproducts, and heavy metals. All these factors boost the growth of the UAE Water Treatment Market during the forecast period (2022-2028).

UAE Water Treatment Systems Market – By Installation

Based on the installation, the UAE Water Treatment Systems Market is segmented into Point of Use (Tabletop pitchers, Faucet-mounted filters, Under-the-sink filters, Countertop units, Others), and Point of Entry. Among these, the Point of Use comprising segment holds the largest market share owing to Point-of-use (PoU) systems being simple to operate, install, and take up little space. Under-the-sink systems, as the name implies, are installed beneath the sink or countertop in the kitchen, bathroom, and throughout the home, as well as in-office kitchens and hotel rooms. Because it is directly connected to the water inlet and often includes a tank as well as a dedicated faucet, the solution makes daily use more convenient. Moreover, the counter-top unit segment is expected to dominate the market share. This is because these filters are mounted on the counter and are directly linked to the faucet. They have a diverter that allows users to switch between unfiltered and filtered water.

UAE Water Treatment Systems Market - By Application

Based on application, the UAE Water Treatment Systems Market is segmented into Residential (Single Family Units, Multi-Family Homes), Non-Residential (Commercial, Industrial, Healthcare, Educational Institutes, and Others. The Residential comprising multi-family homes segment now has the biggest market share and is likely to continue to do so during the forecast period (2022-2028). This is because of the rising multifamily homes in UAE along with growing urbanization. Moreover, the residential application is primarily concerned with the use of water treatment systems to generate potable water for domestic consumption. Because of the growing demand for treated drinking water, removal of unpleasant taste, odor, and discoloration, suspended solids, biodegradable organics, and pathogenic bacteria, the residential water treatment application is expected to grow rapidly.
