On the basis of geographical analysis, the global water treatment chemicals market is segmented into five major regions including North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and the Middle East & Africa region. The market in the Asia Pacific is estimated to acquire the largest share and witness noteworthy growth over the forecast period on the back of the rapidly growing urbanization, which is expected to boost the growth of end user industries of the product in the region including chemical, power and oil & gas. As per the United Nations, the levels of urbanization in Asia were approximately 50 percent in 2018. It is calculated that by 2050, India and China will be homes to 416 million and 55 million urban dwellers respectively. In addition, growing demand for heavy metals, which in turn is projected to lead to the upsurge in the requirement for pretreated water is also anticipated to drive market growth in the coming years. Moreover, the market in North America is also predicted to occupy a notable share during the forecast period, which can be credited to the rising penetration of water treatment facilities in upstream oil & gas sector, and soaring water scarcity in the region.

The chemical industry is a major component of the economy. According to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, in 2020, for the U.S., the value added by chemical products as a percentage of GDP was around 1.9%. Additionally, according to the World Bank, Chemical industry in the U.S. accounted for 16.43% to manufacturing value-added in 2018. With the growing demand from end-users, the market for chemical products is expected to grow in future. According to UNEP (United Nations Environment Program), the sales of chemicals are projected to almost double from 2017 to 2030. In the current scenario, Asia Pacific is the largest chemical producing and consuming region. China has the world’s largest chemical industry, that accounted for annual sales of approximately more than USD 1.5 trillion, or about more than one-third of global sales, in recent years. Additionally, a vast consumer base and favorable government policies have boosted investment in China’s chemical industry. Easy availability of low-cost raw material & labor as well as government subsidies and relaxed environmental norms have served as a production base for key vendors globally. On the other hand, according to the FICCI (Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry), the chemical industry in India was valued at 163 billion in 2019 and it contributed 3.4% to the global chemical industry. It ranks 6th in global chemical production. This statistic shows the lucrative opportunity for the investment in businesses in Asia Pacific countries in the upcoming years.
