 Market Growth Drivers

1. Water Scarcity and Infrastructure Expansion

• Drought-prone regions such as California, Texas, and Arizona account for nearly 45% of U.S. desalination chemical consumption in 2025.

• The U.S. desalination capacity is expected to grow from 0.5 million m³/day in 2025 to 0.9 million m³/day by 2035, requiring proportional increases in chemical consumption.

• Municipal desalination plants are projected to consume 57.8% of total desalination chemicals in 2025, while industrial applications account for 42.2%.

2. Technological Innovation and Chemical Efficiency

• Scale inhibitors dominate the product landscape with an estimated 41.2% market share in 2025.

• Biocides and antifoulants account for 23.5%, while pH adjusters, coagulants, and corrosion inhibitors collectively represent 35.3% of chemical consumption.

• Adoption of smart dosing systems is expected to reduce chemical usage by 10–15% per plant while maintaining output quality, increasing overall chemical efficiency.

3. Regulatory Pressures

• Federal and state regulations are tightening, requiring water quality compliance rates above 99% for municipal supply and stricter discharge limits for industrial plants.

• As a result, investment in premium chemical formulations is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.1% from 2025 to 2035, higher than the overall market CAGR.
