The global dewatering equipment market is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period. The growth in the global market is being driven by increasing awareness for sludge disposal, growing population, rapid urbanization and increased requirement for sludge treatment due to increased sludge production.
Dewatering equipment are designed to disperse water from solids by means of force, including vacuum and centrifugal motion. Dewatering equipment are efficient in reducing solids handling or disposal expenses that are charged on a unit-weight basis. These equipment are widely used in different industries for sludge treatment; their main purpose is to treat pathogens, chemical constituents and other microorganisms. Besides, the dewatering equipment are extensively used in various industrial applications in refineries, mining, petroleum, pharmaceutical and food and beverage. In addition, the equipment is used in municipal applications, which include a wide range of residential and commercial applications.
Growing public concerns and tightening regulations related to environmental preservation have led to the construction of several new sludge treatment plants, which have resulted in high demand for dewatering equipment, globally. Additionally, increasing industrialization in Asia-Pacific has led to increasing demand for dewatering equipment, offering growth opportunities for the dewatering equipment manufacturers in the global market; however, the growth of the global dewatering equipment market is adversely affected by the long dewatering period. Additionally, the high cost of dewatering equipment, along with the cost of operations and maintenance, hinders the growth of the global dewatering equipment market.
The global dewatering equipment market has been categorized on the basis of method, type, technology and application. On the basis of method, the global market has been segmented into wellpoints. sump pumping, eductor wells, deepwells, and others. On the basis of type, the global market is segmented into sludge dewatering and others. On the basis of technology, the global market has been categorized into centrifuges, belt filter presses, vacuum filters, drying beds, sludge lagoons, and others. On the basis of application, the global market has been segmented into industrial and municipal. The industrial application segment has been further segmented into refineries, mining, petroleum, pharmaceutical, foods and beverages and others.
Geographically, the global dewatering equipment market has been spread across North America, South America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Rest of the World. Asia-Pacific is expected to witness significant growth in the global dewatering equipment market, during the forecast period. The major factors driving the regional growth are growing industrialization, increasing urbanization and rapidly growing refining and mining industries. China, Japan, South Korea and India are the major countries driving the demand for dewatering equipment in the Asia-Pacific region. The North American market for dewatering equipment is expected to witness steady growth, during the forecast period. On the other hand, the European region is expected to show firm growth in the global dewatering equipment market, during the forecast period. The regional market is being driven by the increased sludge production and the stringent European Union sludge management legislation. The market for dewatering equipment is growing in the key Western European countries, which enables the dewatering equipment manufacturers to offer advanced and innovative solutions and ensure high dewatering output with reduced dewatering costs. The South American market has ample growth opportunities for dewatering equipment manufacturers on the back of significant industrial development and rapid urbanization, which is expected to boost the global market for dewatering equipment.
Some of the key players in the global dewatering equipment market are BASF SE, SABIC, Evonik Industries AG, Solvay S.A., E. I. DuPont de Nemours and Company, Celanese Corporation, Lanxess AG, Eastman Chemical Company, Mitsubishi Engineering-Plastics Corporation, Arkema SA, and LG Chem.
