Desalination Plants Market, By Type (Seawater and Brackish Water), By Application (Drinking Water, Irrigation Water, and Industrial Water), and By Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa) - Trends, Analysis and Forecast till 2034

Desalination Plants Market was valued at US$ 18.2 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8% to reach US$ 29.08 billion by 2034.

Water scarcity is the major problem across the world and is predicted to grow in the next few years. In order to overcome water shortage problems, governments of all developed as well as developing countries are putting efforts to find ways including water desalination. The water desalination is a procedure which separates dissolved elements such as salt and other minerals from water. It is the method to remove salts from water in order to make it suitable for use.

Growth in the global population and their unmet water needs are growing demand for desalination plants and is projected to the propel water desalination plant market over the forecast period. Moreover, issues such as climate change which is disturbing water cycle resulting to water scarcity and increased use of water owing to rapid industrialization as water is employed in various industrial processes are boosting demand for fresh water. This, in turn, is anticipated to fuel the water desalination plant market in the coming years.

The desalination plants market is segmented based on type, application, and region.

On the basis of type, the desalination plants market is segmented into seawater and brackish water. On the basis of application, the target market is classified into drinking water, irrigation water, and industrial water.

Regional Insights:

On region the desalination plants market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. The Middle East and Africa region is dominating the global water desalination plant market followed by Asia Pacific, owing to high demand of fresh water in the region. The market in Asia Pacific is projected to register significant growth in the coming years due to growth in demand for fresh water owing to water scarcity and rising population. Latin America is anticipated to grow at a vigorous pace throughout the forecast period. Latin America has sufficient resources for fresh water but inefficient distribution channels and growth in population are likely to deal with water scarcity. The governments have started implementing plans for the treatment of saline water processes in the region to overcome the problem of water scarcity. This is expected to boost the global water desalination plant market in the region in the coming years.
