Demand for Water Desalination Soars as Sydney Plant Maintains Production

Water Desalination Plant Equipment Market

Water is a fundamental resource for daily life activity, and it is majorly used for industrial and construction applications. The increasing population in urban cities around the world needs more natural resources and water is a very basic and most non-negotiable resource which is very limited on the earth. Degradation of environmental conditions like changed and unpredictable weather patterns, increased pollution due to carbon emission and rising deforestation have led to water scarcity, drought-like cases across the globe. Therefore, by recognizing this pattern, governments of many countries are heavily investing into development of desalination plants to combat this challenge which further boosts the water desalination plant market.

• According to the survey published by the U.S. geological survey, nearly 71% of surface of the earth is covered by the water, of which more than 96% water is found in seas, oceans, bays in the form of saline water.

A lack of enough freshwater reserves coupled with the increasing demand for fresh water for cultivating arid regions and supporting urbanization is expected to boost demand for desalination. A lot of new developing areas lack water resources such as lakes and rivers. This has resulted in increasing number of desalination plants globally.

• According to the data published by the world economic forum, world needs for freshwater is estimated to exceed supply by 40% by the year 2030.
