Industrial water reuse and recycling involve treating and repurposing water within industrial operations to reduce the need for fresh water and minimize wastewater discharge. The primary goal is to conserve water resources, decrease operational costs, and minimize environmental impact by effectively managing water use in manufacturing and production processes. This process employs various technologies, including filtration, chemical treatment, and membrane systems, to ensure water meets required quality standards.
Key technologies used in industrial water reuse and recycling include membrane filtration, chemical treatments, biological treatments, and zero liquid discharge (ZLD) systems. Membrane filtration technologies encompass several methods that utilize semi-permeable membranes to separate particles, microorganisms, or solutes from liquids based on size, pressure, or concentration gradients. These systems come in different capacities, including less than 25,000 liters, 25,001 to 50,000 liters, 50,001 to 100,000 liters, and over 100,001 liters. The equipment involved includes filtration units, machinery, and storage tanks, catering to various end users in residential, commercial, and industrial sectors.

This industrial water reuse and recycling market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The industrial water reuse and recycling market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $15.00 billion in 2024 to $16.48 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.9%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to factors such as escalating water scarcity, rapid urbanization, the expansion of water treatment facilities, rising industrial water demand, and increasing operational costs associated with wastewater disposal.
The industrial water reuse and recycling market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $23.80 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.6%. The growth during the forecast period can be attributed to the increasing demand for sustainable manufacturing practices, the rising adoption of smart water management systems, growing concerns about groundwater depletion, higher demand for smart water management solutions, and escalating operational costs related to freshwater procurement. Key trends during this period include advancements in membrane filtration, the development of eco-friendly water recycling systems, the integration of reuse systems in process cooling operations, innovations in wastewater treatment chemicals, and progress in sludge minimization technologies.
The growing issue of water scarcity is expected to drive the expansion of the industrial water reuse and recycling market in the coming years. Water scarcity occurs when the demand for water surpasses its available supply in a given region, resulting in inadequate access to water for basic needs. This issue is exacerbated by climate change, which causes altered precipitation patterns, more frequent droughts, and heightened evaporation, all of which contribute to reduced water availability. Industrial water reuse and recycling present a solution to water scarcity by decreasing the demand for freshwater, making them particularly beneficial for industries with high water consumption. These systems improve water efficiency by treating and reusing water, promoting sustainable water management in water-scarce regions. For example, in July 2023, the United Nations reported that, in 2022, 2.2 billion people lacked access to safely managed drinking water, with 115 million relying on surface water sources. As a result, the increasing scarcity of water is fueling the growth of the industrial water reuse and recycling market.
Leading companies in the industrial water reuse and recycling market are prioritizing the development of innovative solutions, such as advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), to improve treatment efficiency, remove emerging contaminants, reduce environmental impact, and meet strict water quality standards. AOPs are a set of highly effective water treatment technologies that utilize powerful oxidants, such as ozone, hydrogen peroxide, or UV light, to break down and eliminate organic pollutants, pathogens, and emerging contaminants from water. For example, in May 2024, Xylem Inc., a US-based water technology company, introduced Reuse Brew, a Bavarian lager made from high-quality recycled wastewater. The brew is produced using advanced oxidation processes, including ozonation, UV irradiation, hydrogen peroxide treatment, and nanofiltration, which remove 99.999% of chemicals and contaminants, ensuring exceptional safety and purity. This groundbreaking launch underscores the transformative potential of advanced water recycling technologies in fostering sustainable water management and enhancing climate resilience.
In July 2022, Ovivo Inc., a Canada-based company specializing in water and wastewater treatment, acquired Wastech Controls and Engineering Inc. for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition allows Ovivo to expand its presence in the North American industrial water and wastewater markets by leveraging Wastech's engineering expertise, customer base, and technologies. The move is intended to accelerate growth in key sectors, including biopharma, food and beverage, and electronics. Wastech Controls and Engineering is a US-based company, focusing on providing automated wastewater treatment and chemical handling systems for industrial applications.
