Norway Wastewater Treatment Services Market Synopsis

Norway’s wastewater treatment services market has developed significantly in recent years, underpinned by stricter EU-aligned environmental regulations, sustainability goals, and infrastructure modernization. As of 2024, Norway operates wastewater facilities covering its population, connected to advanced treatment plants. This reflects a strategic shift toward higher treatment quality, especially in coastal and sensitive ecosystems. Municipal efforts have increased system renewal rates in 2024, while separate stormwater pipelines grew over the same period. Compliance with treatment permits improved, with the population covered by facilities meeting regulatory standards. Industrial growth, notably in oil and gas, seafood, and manufacturing, has intensified demand for advanced treatment technologies such as MBR and nutrient recovery. Additionally, decentralized systems critical for rural areas are being upgraded amid rising adoption of modular plants subsequently driving the wastewater treatment services market in the country.

According to 6Wresearch, Norway wastewater treatment services market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.5% in revenues during 2025–31F driven by ambitious government initiatives, substantial investments, and rising private-sector participation. Moreover, Norway government plans to invest NOK in upgrading and expanding wastewater infrastructure, with a strong focus on energy-efficient and resource-recovery technologies such as sludge-to-energy systems, membrane bioreactors (MBR), and AI-enabled process optimization tools. Further, public-private partnerships (PPPs) are gaining traction, particularly in complex infrastructure projects like Oslo’s VEAS Biogas Plant Expansion, which would process sludge into renewable energy by 2026. Similarly, SalMar’s Ocean Farm integrates closed-loop aquaculture wastewater systems, showcasing innovation in industrial water management.

Market Segmentation By Service Type

In 2031, Operation & Process Control is expected to lead the revenue share. Process control systems form the foundation of smart factories, integrating IoT, AI, machine learning, and real-time analytics to drive efficiency. Demand for predictive maintenance, energy optimization, and quality consistency is accelerating adoption. For instance, real-time data–driven adjustments through advanced process control (APC) reduce waste, minimize downtime, and optimize energy use.

Moreover, Operation & Process Control spans virtually every major industry, oil & gas, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals where strict quality and safety standards are critical. These sectors rely on APC and broader process control systems to maintain continuous, high-quality production while ensuring compliance

Market Segmentation By End-User

By 2031, the industrial segment is set to grow faster than the municipal sector, driven by stricter discharge regulations, increased water reuse in industries like semiconductors, F&B, and power, and rising ESG-linked investments in sustainable water management. These factors are pushing industries toward advanced treatment and recycling systems.

However, the municipal segment will retain the largest revenue share due to its extensive infrastructure, critical societal function, and steady public investment. Serving millions through large-scale drinking water and sewerage systems, it will remain the backbone of the overall market.

Market Segmentation By Industrial End-User

By 2031, the food and beverage (F&B) sector is projected to witness accelerated growth, driven by a rising middle-class population and rapid urbanization, which are increasing demand for packaged, processed, and convenience foods. In response, F&B manufacturers are investing significantly in automation, smart packaging technologies, and advanced quality control systems to enhance productivity and minimize waste. Furthermore, stricter food safety regulations such as those enforced by FSSAI in India and the FDA/EFSA globally are prompting higher spending on plant modernization and compliance..

However, the oil and gas segment is expected to retain the largest share of overall industry revenue. This is attributed to the sector’s reliance on high-value, complex, and custom-engineered equipment including centrifugal compressors, high-pressure pumps, and explosion-proof systems across upstream, midstream, and downstream operations.
