Market Overview

The process of removing impurities from wastewater or making it recyclable, reusable, and environmentally acceptable is called wastewater treatment. The South African water and wastewater treatment market aims to provide safe and effective water and wastewater treatment by utilizing a variety of services and technological advancements. The major techniques for wastewater treatment that are practiced in South Africa include phase separation, flocculation, and oxidation. A variety of plants is applied to treat leachate, and wastewater, as well as tertiary industrial and agricultural treatment plants in South Africa. Most industries rely on municipal wastewater when the industry does not have in-house capacity. There is a scarcity of water, coupled with the need for government investment that predominantly lies in infrastructure, which should curb pollution and upgrade the quality of water.

Driving Factors

The South African water and wastewater treatment market will experience growth shortly due to a rapidly building water crisis, a rise in water pollution, an increasing demand for safe drinking water, and significant growth in the urban population. Water pollution and lowering water quality are increasingly harming the economy and health of the people of South Africa. These problems lead to an increase in demand for water and wastewater treatment markets. To sustain this expansion, the government is investing considerably in the development and maintenance of plans for municipal wastewater treatment.

Restraining Factors

The South African water and wastewater treatment market faces a lack of adequate investment and aging infrastructure. The volume of water and wastewater is crushing old facilities, which is further underscored by a deficiency of skilled professionals. Environmental regulations are becoming more stringent, thereby adding pressure on the public and private operators. Water scarcity and pollution stress the need for more efficient and environmentally friendly treatment techniques. Pollution and water shortages are making the situation worse and thus there must be more effective and long-term treatment options.

Market Segmentation

The South Africa water and wastewater treatment market share is classified into equipment, process, and application.

• The membrane separation segment is expected to hold the largest market share through the forecast period.

The South Africa water and wastewater treatment market is segmented by equipment into membrane separation, biological, disinfection, and sludge treatment. Among these, the membrane separation segment is expected to hold the largest market share through the forecast period. This is because there is no need for outside pressure. Therefore, it uses less energy than pressure-driven processes. Fouling reversal and cleaning of the water is easy with the help of osmotic pressure in separation.

• The primary treatment segment is expected to dominate the South Africa water and wastewater treatment market during the forecast period.       

Based on the process, the South Africa water and wastewater treatment market is divided into primary treatment, secondary treatment, and tertiary treatment. Among these, the primary treatment segment is expected to dominate the South Africa water and wastewater treatment market during the forecast period. The primary process of water and wastewater treatment involves the removal of heavier suspended matter and floatables from the effluent. By the combination of tanks and filters, water is separated from the wastewater. For the treatment plant to run efficiently and to lessen the strain on later stages of treatment, the basic treatment is necessary.

• The municipal segment is expected to hold the largest market share through the forecast period.

The South Africa water and wastewater treatment market is segmented by application into municipal and industrial. Among these, the municipal segment is expected to hold the largest market share through the forecast period. This is because the government provides financial support, the municipal segment accounts for the largest share of the market. The government gives them financial support to help them pay for the construction of wastewater treatment facilities.
