Recycling Water Filtration Market Report 2026

The recycling water filtration market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.83 billion in 2025 to $3.05 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing industrial water consumption, expansion of municipal wastewater treatment facilities, rising awareness of water scarcity, adoption of basic filtration technologies, growth of agricultural irrigation demand.

The recycling water filtration market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.11 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing investments in circular water management, rising adoption of zero liquid discharge systems, expansion of desalination and reuse projects, growing focus on energy-efficient filtration, increasing regulatory pressure on wastewater discharge. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of advanced membrane filtration technologies, rising deployment of water reuse systems, growing integration of smart water monitoring solutions, expansion of industrial wastewater recycling projects, enhanced focus on water conservation efficiency.

The rising industrial activities are expected to drive the growth of the recycling water filtration market in the coming years. Industrial activities encompass the production, manufacturing, and processing of goods across sectors such as manufacturing, energy supply, and capital goods. The increase in industrial output is fueled by economic recovery efforts, expansions in manufacturing capacity, and growing production demand across regions like the European Union. Recycling water filtration systems support industries by reducing freshwater consumption, lowering wastewater disposal costs, and ensuring a sustainable water supply for processes such as cooling, cleaning, and production. For instance, in February 2024, according to the Xinhua News Agency, a China-based government agency, Mexico's industrial activity grew by 3.5% in 2023 compared to the previous year. Therefore, rising industrial activities are propelling the growth of the recycling water filtration market.

Major companies operating in the recycling water filtration market are emphasizing the development of technologically advanced solutions, such as enhanced membrane filtration, to increase water recovery rates, lower operating costs, and promote sustainable industrial water reuse. Advanced membrane filtration is a water treatment approach that employs specialized semi-permeable membranes to efficiently eliminate contaminants, salts, and microorganisms from water. For example, in July 2025, Spacedrip OÜ, an Estonia-based manufacturing company, partnered with Lindström Group, a Finland-based manufacturing company, to introduce the country’s largest industrial wastewater reuse system, aimed at substantially reducing freshwater usage and enabling on-site water recycling. The system enables a significant portion of industrial process water to be treated and reused within the facility, thereby reducing wastewater discharge. This initiative supports circular water management, decreases operational expenses, and enhances sustainability performance in industrial operations.

In January 2024, Rainmaker Worldwide Inc., a Canada-based company specializing in affordable water solutions and technology, acquired Miranda Water Treatment Systems for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition allows Rainmaker to integrate Miranda's advanced water and wastewater treatment technologies into its portfolio, expanding its market reach and operational synergies, particularly in the Americas. Miranda Water Treatment Systems, based in Turkey, specializes in water recycling and filtration solutions.
