Advanced Oxidation Technologies Will Grow At Highest Pace Owing To Increasing Demand For Wastewater Treatment

Advanced oxidation technologies are oxidation processes that generate highly reactive radicals, such as hydroxyl radicals (OH•), by utilizing oxidizing agents like ozone, hydrogen peroxide and UV light. These technologies are widely utilized for wastewater treatment from various industries such as oil & gas, chemical, food & beverages and municipalities. Advanced oxidation technologies offer a number of advantages over conventional wastewater treatment methods as they have higher oxidation and mineralization rates and require lower energy inputs. They can treat an extensive range of both inorganic and organic pollutants and completely degrade them into carbon dioxide, water and mineral acids.

]The Global Advanced Oxidation Technologies Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 8.91 Mn in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 10% over the forecast period 2024 to 2030.


Key Takeaways


Key players operating in the Advanced Oxidation Technologies are Prysmian Group, Aker Solutions, TechnipFMC plc, SUBSEA 7, Saipem S.p.A., McDermott International, Ltd., DeepOcean Group Holding BV, Schlumberger, Halliburton, NOV Inc., Vallourec, Oceaneering International, and Siemens. These companies are focused on developing advanced wastewater treatment technologies using techniques like ozone/UV, hydrogen peroxide/UV and Fenton oxidation. Growing population and industrialization have led to increased pollution levels, necessitating effective wastewater management. This has propelled the demand for advanced oxidation technologies from industries and municipalities. Technological advancements like development of advanced UV lamps that produce higher UV intensities are increasing the efficiency and application scope of these technologies.


Market trends


One of the key trends in the Oxidation Technologies Market Demand is the development of integrated advanced oxidation systems that combine different oxidation treatment stages. For instance, a system combining ozonation followed by hydrogen peroxide/UV treatment offers enhanced pollutant removal. Secondly, manufacturers are focused on designing compact modular advanced oxidation technology systems that offer flexibility of operation and can be optimally utilized for small to large wastewater flows.


Market Opportunities


One major opportunity is the increasing investment in wastewater management infrastructure in developing countries. As governments work to meet stringent discharge norms, advanced oxidation technologies demand is projected to rise sharply. Secondly, exploring new applications areas like treatment of pharmaceutical wastewater will further propel the market growth.


Impact of COVID-19 on the Advanced Oxidation Technologies Market

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the growth of the advanced oxidation technologies market. During the pandemic, production activities declined globally due to nationwide lockdowns affecting supply chains. Project activities slowed down severely due to travel restrictions and implementation of stringent safety measures on sites. This led to reduced demand and decline in adoption of advanced oxidation technologies in 2020.


However, post pandemic demand is expected to increase especially in pollution control applications and wastewater treatment. Governments across nations are focusing on upgrading wastewater treatment infrastructure using advanced oxidation processes to curb environmental pollution. Major players are expected to experience higher adoption rates as economic activities resume globally. New project tenders and investments in advanced oxidation projects could be higher during the forecast period to cope up lost opportunities during pandemic. Vendors need to consider strategic partnerships, R&D investments and integrated digital solutions to cater increasing global demand for advanced treatment processes.


Europe has traditionally been a major market for advanced oxidation technologies in terms of value due to stringent regulations and higher investments in water and wastewater treatment infrastructure. Countries like Germany, UK, Italy, France have concentrated demand and established treatment facilities using advanced oxidation technologies across industrial and municipal sectors over past years.


North America is emerging as the fastest growing regional market especially driven by US market. Increasing shale gas extraction and chemical manufacturing activities have boosted demand for advanced water treatment technologies. Regulatory push for reuse and recycling of industrial wastewater along with population growth is further supporting market growth. Major players are expected to focus on the US market by establishing regional manufacturing and engineering capabilities to cater fast-paced demand.
