Analysts’ Viewpoint on Zero Liquid Discharge Market Scenario
The rise in population, rapid urbanization, increase in industrialization, and growth in agricultural development are adversely impacting the quality and quantity of water, thereby leading to a decline in sources of freshwater and an increase in water pollution. The current zero liquid discharge (ZLD) system, which is utilized in water treatment process, comprises an evaporator, which consumes energy on a large scale. This increases the operating cost of the overall ZLD system. Efforts are being made to reduce the demand for energy in a ZLD process and significantly reduce the operational expenditure of the process. Companies should focus on technological advancements and industries should utilize innovative solutions, such as waste heat evaporation, to reduce their overall energy cost.
Zero liquid discharge (ZLD) is a water treatment process in which wastewater is purified and recycled, leaving zero discharge of water at the end of the treatment cycle. Thus, no liquid waste leaves the facility. ZLD is being adopted in various industries such as energy & power, food & beverage, chemicals & petrochemicals, textile, and pharmaceutical. Increasing applications of ZLD system in textile processing units is creating opportunities for manufacturers.
The zero liquid discharge market is driven by the rising awareness about the safety of the environment from the discharge of harmful wastewater effluents in several developing and developed countries. Regulatory bodies are monitoring wastewater discharge limits in various countries across the globe to slow down the declining water quality. Furthermore, regulatory bodies have been enacting and implementing stringent policies and guidelines for industrial plants to comply with zero liquid discharge norms. Manufacturing sites and municipal bodies are focused on complying with the obligatory norms and legislations set by regulatory bodies, which, in turn, is driving the zero liquid discharge market.
For instance, the Effluent Limitation Guidelines (ELGs) are set by the Environment Protection Agency in the U.S., the wastewater effluent discharge limit mandates set by the Secretariat of Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT) in Mexico, regulatory directives set by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) in India, the ZLD mandates set by the EU Water Framework Directive in the European Union relevant action plans and directives set by the State Council of China and the Ministry of Environmental Protection of the Government of China have been driving the application of zero liquid discharge technologies.
In terms of end-use industry, the global zero liquid discharge market has been classified into energy & power, food & beverage, chemicals & petrochemicals, textile, pharmaceuticals, and others. The energy & power segment was valued at US$ 463.24 Mn in 2021. It is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 11.70% during the forecast period, due to rise in the demand for zero liquid discharge in the energy & power sector. An increase in urbanization worldwide has significantly boosted the demand for power to meet energy requirements of the ever-growing population. Hence, the number of power generation plants is expected to increase to meet power needs, which is likely to result in higher wastewater generation.
Power generation companies are implementing zero liquid discharge systems to treat and recycle the generated wastewater and comply with environmental norms and regulations. Water generated from the ZLD is being used for non-potable applications. The ZLD technology is being extensively adopted to recover usable by-products and profit-making minerals from waste streams, primarily for industrial wastewater treatment. Implementation of ZLD plants has been useful in the recovery of sodium sulfate and sodium chloride salts. The use of zero liquid discharge water treatment technology has helped recover valuable and saleable minerals in the mining industry.
The petrochemical sector has a significant and widespread impact on the environment. Discharge from such companies consists of effluents that cannot be left in the environment untreated, as petrochemicals permeate the skin and cause DNA damage over time. This, in turn, is driving the adoption of zero liquid discharge in the industry. Thus, the chemicals & petrochemicals end-use industry segment is anticipated to grow at a considerable CAGR during the forecast period.
Textile and food & beverage segments are expected to register a steady revenue CAGR over the forecast period, due to the increase in the use of ZLD in distilleries, sugar, and other food & beverage sub-sectors.
The zero liquid discharge market in the Asia Pacific is expected to account for the largest revenue share of the global market during the forecast period. The Asia Pacific market was valued at US$ 462.09 Mn in 2021. This can be attributed to the scarcity of fresh water sources and the implementation of stringent environmental policies regarding wastewater in the region.
The market in North America was valued at US$ 270.38 Mn in 2021. The market in the region is anticipated to grow considerably at a CAGR of 9.83% during the forecast period.
Middle East & Africa is a notable market for zero liquid discharge, as compared to the market in Latin America; however, the market in Latin America is likely to grow at a rapid pace as compared to the market in Middle East & Africa.
The global zero liquid discharge market is consolidated with a small number of large-scale vendors dictating a majority of the market share. Several firms are spending significantly on comprehensive research and development, primarily to develop environment-friendly products. Development in product portfolios and mergers & acquisitions are the significant strategies adopted by key players.
