Market Overview And Development Trends Of Wastewater Treatment Equipment

In 2025, the domestic market for wastewater treatment equipment exceeded 90 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 12.3%, with industrial wastewater treatment equipment accounting for 68.5% of the demand. Both the global and Chinese markets for automated sewage treatment equipment are also demonstrating sustained growth.
Industry trends are evolving toward intelligence, modularity, and resource recovery. Intelligence is reflected in the deep integration of IoT technology with sewage treatment processes; closed-loop management-facilitated by sensor data collection, analysis, and automatic control-enables precise regulation of operations such as chemical dosing and aeration. Modular design offers flexible scalability, allowing enterprises to add units in response to changes in production capacity or stricter discharge standards. The shift toward resource recovery focuses on technologies such as reclaimed water reuse and sludge reduction, transforming sewage treatment from simple end-of-pipe management into a process of resource recycling.
Meanwhile, integrated "zero-discharge plus recycling" solutions are gaining attention; by employing combined processes-such as segregated collection, intelligent dosing, membrane-based reuse, and MVR evaporation-water recovery rates can be boosted to over 90%.
