U.S. Desalination Chemicals Market Forecast 2025–2035: Trends and Growth Insights
The U.S. desalination chemicals market is projected to grow steadily from USD 3.06 billion in 2025 to approximately USD 6.26 billion by 2035, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. This growth is driven by intensifying water scarcity, expanding desalination infrastructure, and the rising demand for efficient chemical treatment solutions to optimize water quality, enhance membrane performance, and extend operational lifespan. Market Dynamics and Growth Drivers Desalination chemicals—including scale inhibitors, antifoulants, biocides, coagulants, flocculants, and pH adjusters—play a critical role in protecting membranes, preventing scaling and fouling, and ensuring consistent water treatment performance. Scale inhibitors dominate the product segment, accounting for approximately 37% of the market, due to their effectiveness in controlling mineral deposition in reverse osmosis (RO) and thermal desalination systems. Municipal water treatment remains the ...
