High water consumption in the food and beverage industry is expected to significantly boost the growth of the water and wastewater treatment market for this sector in the future. Water consumption refers to the volume of water extracted and not returned to its original source. Food and beverage companies utilize water and wastewater treatment to comply with stringent water quality standards and to process used water before it is released, ensuring adherence to environmental regulations. For example, in November 2023, the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), a US-based non-profit organization, reported that the food and beverage industry accounts for 70% of the world's freshwater usage. Thus, the industry's high water consumption is driving the demand for water and wastewater treatment solutions.
The growing issue of water scarcity is anticipated to drive the growth of the water and wastewater treatment market for the food and beverage industry. Water scarcity arises when the available water resources in a particular region or for a specific population are insufficient to meet the demand. The need to address water scarcity emphasizes the significance of adopting sustainable water treatment practices to ensure the availability of clean water for various purposes, ranging from industrial processes to residential consumption. As per a provider of flow metering solutions, by 2025, an estimated 1.8 billion people will reside in areas facing water scarcity, with two-thirds of the global population living in water-stressed regions. Consequently, the increasing concern about water scarcity is fueling the growth of the water and wastewater treatment market for the food and beverage industry.
The integration of technological advancements stands out as a prominent trend gaining momentum in the market for water and wastewater treatment in the food and beverages industry. Major companies operating in this sector are directing their efforts towards incorporating new technologies into water and wastewater treatment solutions to enhance their suitability for applications in the food and beverages industry. An illustration of this trend is evident in the April 2023 launch by AquiSense, a US-based water treatment and disinfection solutions provider, of the PearlAqua Deca 30C, a water disinfection system. Designed for use in both large and small point-of-use applications, this solution finds applications in commercial and industrial water purification, food and beverage processing, home use, and soda machines. The PearlAqua Deca 30C employs UV-C LED technology, achieving a 99.99% pathogen elimination rate at four gallons per minute (15 liters per minute). Noteworthy features include automatic on-and-off switching or external triggering, programmable alarm outputs, and dynamic power regulation.
The anticipated growth in energy demand is poised to drive the expansion of the market for water and wastewater treatment in the food and beverages industry. Energy demand refers to the amount of energy required to meet the needs of a specific region or industry. The processes involved in water and wastewater treatment for the food and beverages sector, such as filtration, chemical treatment, and water heating, contribute to the overall energy demand. An example of the relevance of this factor is highlighted by the International Energy Agency, which reported a 5% increase in electricity demand in 2021, with nearly half of the rise met by fossil fuels, particularly coal. This development poses a threat to pushing carbon dioxide emissions from the power sector to record levels in 2022. Consequently, the surge in energy demand is a driving force behind the growth of the water and wastewater treatment market for the food and beverages industry.
