Key Market Trends

Power Industry to Dominate the Market

  • Power generation industry is currently occupying the major share of the United Kingdom water treatment chemicals market. The electric power generation industry is one of the major sources of industrial wastewater.
  • Their wastewater contains significant levels of toxic metal impurities, such as lead, mercury, arsenic, chromium, and cadmium, among others. These impurities can cause significant damage to environment, if not treated properly.
  • Also, efforts are being made to enable more efficient water treatment and recovery in the country.
  • Hence, owing to the above-mentioned factors, power generation industry is likely to dominate the market during the forecast period.



Coagulants & Flocculants to Witness the Highest Growth Rate

  • Flocculants are substances that promote the clumping of destabilized particles, which are obtained after being treated with coagulants; the coagulants neutralize the charge on colloidal particles responsible for keeping them apart.
  • These agents promote flocculation by causing colloids and other suspended particles to aggregate and drop out of the liquid. Flocculants are used in various water treatment processes in numerous industries such as chemical processing, food & beverage, oil & gas and power generation among others.
  • Municipal water treatment forms the largest market for flocculants where there has been an increasing demand for flocculants from the oil & gas industry in the country.
  • Hence, owing to the above-mentioned factors, Coagulants and flocculants are expected to witness the highest growth during the forecast period.
