Water treatment Chemical Market has a wide range of applications in wastewater, industrial water, and portable water. The market for water treatment chemicals is subjected to grow at a healthy CAGR of 6.0% over the next five years to reach US$ 35 billion by 2026. 

For ease of analysis, the water treatment market is segmented into types, namely Chemical type, End-user type, and Region type. Based on the chemical type, the water treatment market is segmented as corrosion inhibitors, coagulants, flocculants, PH adjusters, biocides, disinfectants, scale inhibitors, and others. Despite being hit adversely in 2020, the corrosion inhibitor is expected to remain the largest and the fastest-growing chemical type in the market during the forecast period. They are mainly used for industrial water treatment.

Based on the end-user type, the market is segmented as Paper & Pulp, Power Generation, Metals & Mining, Refining, Wastewater, Municipal, and others. Power generation is expected to remain the biggest demand generator for these chemicals during the forecast period.  The power generation industry is one of the major sources of industrial wastewater, which contains substantial levels of toxic metal impurities such as lead, mercury, arsenic, and chromium. These impurities can cause harm to the environment, if not treated properly. Thus, the power generation industry needs water treatment chemicals in a significant amount, creating a decent market for the same.

In terms of regions, Europe and North America are well-established markets for water treatment chemicals. However, Asia Pacific is expected to emerge as the largest as well as the fastest-growing market for water treatment chemicals during the forecast period. This was mainly due to the growing population coupled with the increasing demand for clean and fresh water for human and industrial needs.
