The packaged wastewater treatment market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $23.58 billion in 2023 to $26.35 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.7%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be attributed to robust economic growth in emerging markets, a rise in industrialization, an increasing rate of water reuse, and growing government support.

The packaged wastewater treatment market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $41.26 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.9%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the rising scarcity of water, an increasing demand for clean water, a surge in water consumption, and the rising global population. Key trends expected in this period include a focus on offering innovative treatment technology to provide reliable services to customers and strengthen market presence, an emphasis on product launches to expand the product portfolio and drive revenues, a focus on offering IoT (Internet of Things) solutions for reliable services and market strengthening, a concentration on innovative digital solutions to provide digital services, and a commitment to increasing investments to expand the product portfolio and drive revenues.

The growth of the packaged wastewater treatment market is anticipated to be driven by the increasing levels of water pollution and the scarcity of clean water. Packaged wastewater treatment processes play a vital role in removing contaminants and pollutants from influents, thereby contributing to the enhancement of clean water supply. As reported by the United Nations-Water in 2021, over 80% of wastewater is released into the environment without adequate treatment globally. In the United States alone, wastewater treatment facilities process approximately 34 billion gallons of wastewater per day. This highlights the critical need for solutions to address water pollution and scarcity, ultimately fueling the growth of the packaged wastewater treatment market.

The packaged wastewater treatment market is experiencing growth due to the ongoing process of industrialization. Rapid industrialization has created a demand for cost-effective and low-maintenance decentralized wastewater treatment solutions, contributing to the expansion of the packaged wastewater treatment market. For example, according to Goldman Sachs in April 2022, the Indian manufacturing sector witnessed a remarkable growth of 210% in the fiscal year 2021–2022 compared to the previous fiscal year, indicating increased industrial activities and investments. Similarly, the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) reported a global increase of 9.4% in manufacturing production in 2021. This surge in industrialization has significantly contributed to the growth of the packaged wastewater treatment market.

A key trend in the packaged wastewater treatment market is technological advancements. Leading companies in the market are actively engaged in developing innovative technological solutions to strengthen their market position. For instance, in May 2022, Evonik Industries inaugurated a new Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) plant at its facility in Dombivli, India. ZLD technology purifies and recycles wastewater, minimizing or eliminating effluent discharge at the end of industrial processes. This advancement not only enhances water use efficiency but also reduces waste liquid substantially. Additionally, it yields valuable by-products such as sodium sulfate and mixed salts, which can be commercially utilized.

Major companies in the packaged wastewater treatment market are focusing on product launches. For instance, Biogill, an Australia-based company specializing in biological wastewater treatment solutions, introduced its latest product series, the Max 2, 4, and 6, in July 2023. The MAX units feature modern materials and designs, ensuring improved durability, reliability, and efficiency. These units are designed for easy setup, use, and maintenance, resulting in reduced operational costs and downtime. The introduction of innovative products such as the MAX Units underscores Biogill's commitment to providing cost-effective wastewater treatment solutions globally.

In March 2021, Swire Group, a Hong Kong and London-based conglomerate, completed the acquisition of WesTech Engineering for an undisclosed amount. This strategic move aimed to leverage combined resources, incorporating WesTech's process capabilities and established market reputation, to strengthen Swire's position in the water treatment market. WesTech Engineering is a US-based company specializing in providing process solutions for water and wastewater treatment, liquid/solids separation, and biological treatment.
