Increasing adoption of water treatment biocides in power plants, swimming pools, municipal water treatment, pulp & paper, oil & gas, and mining is expected to increase its market concentration over the forecast period. Several problems, such as chemical breakdown, health hazards, heat transfer losses, biofilm formation, flow restriction, and under-deposit corrosion, can result in unregulated microbial growth. This in turns is expected to further increase water treatment biocides market reach in coming years.
The water treatment biocides market is expected to grow from its estimated USD 3.74 billion in 2022 to USD 6.53 billion in 2031 at a compound annual growth rate of 6.6% between 2023 and 2031.
The purpose of the report is to estimate the market size for global water treatment biocides industry and the future growth potential of the market for water treatment biocides across various segments, such as source, type, form, Process, and the geography. Water treatment biocides are synthesized antibiotics to remove all life cycles and sizes of microorganisms. The microbial development of potable water, process water, open cooling systems, and down-water facilities are formulated to regulate them. Biocides for water treatment are primarily used for the treatment of municipal water, oil & gas, power stations, pulp & paper, mining, and swimming pools.
In 2019, the oil & gas segment held the largest share in the global market for biocides for water treatment. Biocides are used in all stages of the development of the oilfield, from the initial well drilling and the day-to-day production of Oil & Gas, to all aspects of field maintenance. In the life of an oilfield, they play a significant role. They are also a valuable tool to ensure the safe and reliable production of oil & gas. There are various types of biocides used in the Oil & Gas industry.
