by Sludge treatment chemicals are chemical substances that are used in treating excess sludge generated from wastewater treatment processes. Sludge treatment chemicals help in reducing the volume of solids in sludge and stabilize the organic matter in sludge. Key sludge treatment chemicals include flocculants, coagulants, disinfectants, and odor control agents. These chemicals aid in reducing pollutants and pathogens in sludge before its disposal or reuse. Rising concerns regarding the disposal of untreated sludge has augmented the demand for effective sludge treatment chemicals. The global sludge treatment chemicals market has witnessed significant growth due to stringent regulations regarding wastewater treatment and sludge disposal.
The global Sludge Treatment Chemicals Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 9561.7 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 4.7% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market key trends:
One of the major trends in the global sludge treatment chemicals market is the rising focus on wastewater recycling and reuse. Stringent environmental regulations are propelling industries and municipalities to recycle and reuse treated wastewater. Advanced sludge treatment technologies aided by effective chemicals help produce high-quality treated effluent that can be safely recycled for various non-potable purposes. This reduces freshwater usage and allows recovery of resources from wastewater. Chemical suppliers are developing eco-friendly sludge treatment reagents to help industries and municipalities meeting the treatment standards for water recycling.
