The water treatment chemicals market in the Middle East and Africa (MEA) is growing significantly due to factors such as industrial development, regulatory policies, and increased awareness of water scarcity. A recent market research report, covering the period from 2023 to 2033, explores how rapid urbanization and growing industrial activities impact the demand for water treatment chemicals. The study looks at various factors, including the types of chemicals used, applications, end-user industries, and country-level assessments. The market is segmented by end-user industries (municipal, oil and gas, healthcare, food and beverage, paper, and pulp) and specific applications (boiler water treatment, cooling water treatment, and desalination). The report analyzes chemical types (coagulants, flocculants, biocides, disinfectants, and corrosion inhibitors) and predicts growth in key countries in the MEA region. The report examines major industry players like AES Arabia Ltd., Al Jazira Water Treatment Chemicals, and Kurita Water Industries Ltd. It delves into reasons for water treatment chemical demand, intellectual property, corporate strategies, market growth potential, and projections until 2033.
