Municipal and Industrial Sludge Treatment Market Segment Forecasts up to 2020

Market research giant Transparency Market Research has announced a new report, detailing the global municipal and industrial sludge treatment market. The new report, titled ‘Municipal and Industrial Sludge Treatment Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2014 – 2020,’ examines the historical growth trajectory of the global municipal and industrial sludge treatment market and presents forecasts for the market’s growth till the end of the ongoing decade.
Sludge refers to the slurry obtained from municipal or industrial wastewater treatment plants. Due to the health hazards of the several contaminants that could be present in sludge, treating it is imperative. Municipal and industrial sludge can contain pathogens of several kinds, in addition to toxic chemicals. These contaminants require specific processes, which has led to the development of specialized processes to eliminate a particular contaminant. Reducing the water content of industrial and municipal sludge is also one of the primary tasks performed in sludge treatment, since this helps reduce the volume of the sludge.
Once the harmful substances in municipal sludge have been removed, the remaining water can be safely redirected to agriculture or landscaping. This helps cities cut down on their total consumption of water. Industrial sludge, on the other hand, is treated and then disposed of. Conditioning and stabilization of municipal and industrial sludge is one of the most important processes in sludge treatment.
While developed countries such as the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Germany, and France have relatively well-established industrial and municipal sludge treatment infrastructure, there is huge unmet need for the same in developing regions such as Asia Pacific, Africa, and Latin America. This is the major opportunity for major players in the global industrial and municipal sludge treatment chemicals market.
The high population of countries with developing economies, such as China, India, and Brazil, has contributed to industrial and municipal sludge treatment emerging as an urgent requirement. More than 2.5 billion people live in these three countries alone, leading to the generation of massive amounts of municipal as well as industrial waste and, subsequently, sludge. Governments in these countries have slowly but surely started steadily funding, encouraging, and mandating sludge treatment processes, which will drive the global industrial and municipal sludge treatment market in the coming years. The Asia Pacific market for industrial and municipal sludge treatment is expected to be the largest regional segment of the market owing to the huge population of the region.
Apart from assessing the impact of the driving and restraining factors on the market and detailing the market share of key segments, the report also discusses the competitive landscape of the global industrial and municipal sludge treatment market. Key players profiled in the report include ADI Systems Inc., Alfa Laval, Adwest Technologies, and Cambi AS.
