Saudi Arabia is projected to hold a high share in the GCC water and waste water treatment chemicals market. According to the Saudi Arabian Business Council, Saudi Arabia has the highest rates of water consumption in the world and in October 2020, the Kingdom had a total of 33 desalination plants in 17 locations run by the Saline Water Conversion Corporation (SWCC). These factors are expected to support the market growth. Moreover, the presence of the Saudi Arabian Water Environment Association (SAWEA) dedicated towards the preservation of the Saudi Arabian water environment is further accelerating the market growth.

The industrial sector is expected to be one of the prominent end-users of the water and wastewater chemicals owing to the continuous growth in the power, oil & gas, mining, and chemical industries. The exploration and development of new oil fields, installation of new and power plants, the growing mining industry, and the rising commercial construction sector is expected to further drive the water treatment chemicals market in GCC during the forecast period.

The increasing water treatment chemicals demand in countries including UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, and Kuwait in the GCC owing to the growing adoption of saline water treatment is expected to propel the market growth. High dependency on the desalination for meeting water requirements in GCC is further contributing to the increase in the demand of coagulants, scale inhibitors, and biocides on the large scale.

Biocides and disinfectants are widely used for the water and wastewater treatment in GCC primarily due to its benefits including safety of manufacturing systems, prevention of microbial growth, and help in reducing biofouling.

Increasing concerns for waterborne diseases, growing awareness towards the importance of treated water, and diseases caused by consumption of untreated water is expected to support the market growth. In addition, the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has further contributed to the growth in the demand of the water and wastewater treatment chemicals. This can be attributed to the increased water consumption for maintaining hygiene, demand for safe water, and growing need for sanitation and hygiene.
