The global water desalination equipment market size is anticipated to reach USD 31.70 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 9.4%, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Water shortage, depletion of freshwater sources and rapid improvements in desalination technologies are expected to boost the growth of the water desalination equipment market.

Deteriorating environmental issues such as changing weather patterns, increased pollution, and deforestation have resulted in water scarcity and drought-like conditions worldwide. Various governments are investing in the development of desalination facilities to tackle this scenario, which is projected to drive the market. For instance, in June 2019, the state government of Tamil Nadu laid a foundation stone for the construction of a third desalination plant worth USD 178.83 million in Chennai.

The growing use of renewable energy to desalinate water is gaining market traction because traditional methods require a significant amount of energy to operate, making them expensive and impractical for use in developing nations. Over the forecast period, such advancements are expected to drive demand for water desalination equipment.

Key players such as Veolia and Suez have subsidiary companies that benefit from their parent companies' international footprint. Many corporations are also investing in outsourcing R&D centres in developing countries, which may be leveraged to increase their geographical presence while lowering overall manufacturing costs by purchasing raw materials from the area market.
