Equipment Segment by Type held the highest revenue share in China Water & Wastewater Treatment Market -6Wresearch

In 2024, the equipment segment in the China Water & Wastewater Treatment Market witnessed the highest revenue share due to increased infrastructure investments, rising demand for advanced water treatment technologies, and the need for new and upgraded equipment for efficient water purification, recycling, and waste management processes, leading to its market dominance.

According to 6Wresearch, China Water& Wastewater Treatment Market Revenues is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.7% during 2025-2031F. The water and wastewater treatment market in China is growing rapidly, fueled by the expanding urban population, municipal infrastructure investments, and government support. As cities grow, the government is prioritizing infrastructure upgrades, including a major plan to renovate 80,000 km of sewage pipelines (2021-2025). This focus on improving urban water management is essential for achieving national targets, such as a 16% reduction in water use per GDP unit by 2025. These efforts are driving the development of advanced wastewater treatment and water recycling technologies to efficiently reuse and treat wastewater.

China’s industrial landscape is being rapidly strengthened by initiatives such as "Made in China." In November 2024, the manufacturing sector expanded by 6%, while the production of raw chemical materials and products grew by 9.5% between January and February 2025. This robust industrial growth, along with the national target of a 16% improvement in industrial water use efficiency by 2025 and increasing government emphasis on Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) policies, is accelerating the deployment of wastewater treatment plants across industrial sectors.

Looking ahead, the market is poised for continued growth, driven by China’s ongoing push for decentralized sewage treatment solutions and its increasing focus on managing wastewater from urban populations. The country's commitment to a circular economy, emphasizing water reuse, energy recovery, and effective sludge management would play a vital role in supporting the long-term expansion of the water and wastewater treatment market.

According to Sumit, Senior Research Analyst, 6Wresearch, the Municipal sector led China’s Water & Wastewater Treatment Market, driven by rapid urban population growth, infrastructure development, and rising water scarcity. Strong government focus on sewage treatment upgrades, coupled with substantial public investment in water management systems, fueled the sector's growth to meet environmental and urban demands.
