Global Sludge Dewatering Equipment Market Size, Trends & Growth Opportunity and, By Technology (Belt filter presses, Centrifuges, Screw presses, and Others), By Application (Municipal and Industrial), By Region and Forecast till 2027.

Global Sludge Dewatering Equipment Market

The Global Sludge Dewatering Equipment Market is expected to grow from US$ 1.2 Billion in 2021 to US$ 5.5 Billion by 2027; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.4% from 2021 to 2027.

Sludge dewatering is the separation of solid and liquid sludge components to minimise sludge discharge. Both the municipal and industrial sectors utilise sludge dewatering equipment. Its commercial and residential markets are examples of its municipal applications. Its industrial applications include mining, medicines, food and beverage refineries, and petroleum. This technology utilises less electricity, has a low maintenance cost schedule, and is both economical and environmentally friendly. It also requires fewer experienced labourers. Both centralised and decentralised methods were used in sludge dewatering to treat sewage produced by municipal and industrial infrastructure. Aerobic treatment systems, biofilters, and septic tanks are the most often utilised types of decentralised equipment. On the other hand, centralised sludge systems utilise sewage and piping infrastructure.

Drivers: The circular economy's rapid mechanical advancements and a growing emphasis on safeguarding surface waters from the harmful consequences of wastewater releases would be the driving forces behind the industry measure. The frameworks for oozing and wastewater treatment would be strengthened by the execution of actions to reduce the negative effects that result from wastewater sources. The market will expand quickly as it moves in the direction of the green economy, which includes eco-productivity, emission reduction, and closed-loop development based on improved asset proficiency. The need is expanding as a result of rising wastewater-related health and environmental concerns, as well as shifting trends toward the circular economy.

Impact of Covid-19

Water resource recovery facilities are now concerned about COVID-19 (coronavirus) infections in residuals, biosolids, and sludge. The demand for cutting-edge sludge dewatering machinery that aids in effective wastewater treatment has increased as a result. Due to the contaminated municipal sludge, there have been worries about potential negative consequences on public health. Although there haven't been any cases highlighted that highlight exposure to the COVID-19 as a result of biosolids, water resource recovery plants are being scrutinised for effective sludge treatment. In order to meet the needs of water resource recovery facilities, manufacturers of sludge dewatering equipment are optimising their production processes.

Segmentation By Technology: The market is divided into categories based on the kind of technology, including belt filter presses, centrifuges, screw presses, and others. The belt filter press sector is anticipated to grow at the highest rate over the projected period, while the centrifuges segment maintained the greatest market share in 2019. The segment for centrifuges is primarily driven by its low initial investment cost, moderate operating cost, and quick drying time. It is frequently utilised in applications for treating heavy oil sludge and municipal wastewater.

Segmentation By Application: The sludge dewatering equipment market is divided into municipal and industrial segments based on the type of application. Due to the rapidly expanding urban population, rising investments, and government efforts to speed up infrastructure development, the municipal segment is anticipated to have faster market expansion over the course of the projected period. The installation of wastewater treatment facilities in the major cities was required due to the limited amount of land available for the disposal of garbage.

Segmentation By Region: Sludge Dewatering Equipment Market is classified on the basis of Region into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. Europe is anticipated to have the largest market overall over the projection period, with Germany, France, the United Kingdom, and Russia being the principal nations with the most promising prospects for expansion. The increasing pressure on companies to achieve operational savings by minimising their wastewater and sludge discharge is the key factor driving the region's market expansion.

Competitive Landscape: The key players of Sludge Dewatering Equipment Market are Suez Environnement, Keppel Seghers, Evoqua Water Technologies, ENCON Evaporators, Kontek Process Water Management, Veolia, Hitachi Zosen Corporation, Alfa Laval, Huber SE, Andritz, Flo Trend Systems, Inc. Phoenix Process Equipment, Aqseptence, Hiller Separation & Process, Flottweg, Sebright Products and Komline-Sanderson.
