EU directives such as the Urban Waste water Treatment Directive drive spending on upgrades and compliance. Additionally, municipalities increasingly outsource services to private operators for cost efficiency and reliability.

According to 6Wresearch, Finland wastewater treatment services market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.9% in revenues during 2025–31F. Between 2021 and 2024, Finland’s wastewater treatment services market experienced growth, primarily due to supported by tightening EU directives, rising industrial outsourcing, and the early adoption of digital water technologies, along with the country’s increasing government initiatives such as Methane Reduction, Recovery and Use Initiatives and WastPan project and the advancement in municipal infrastructure and sanitation systems.

Additionally, the rise in population, accompanied by higher household and industrial wastewater volumes, as in 2023 the rise in municipal waste contributed to the demand for wastewater treatment services which created a greater need for advanced and decentralized wastewater treatment solutions. This period also saw the initiation of major infrastructure projects, such as the Blominmäki wastewater treatment plant in Espoo, which commenced operations in August 2023. Further initiatives such as “Finland's Water Stewardship Action Plan” and “Investment Plan by HSY” has been aiming to improve the efficiency and safety of its water and wastewater network by reducing water losses and curbing sewerage and HSY also aims to invest by 2025 which has created demand for wastewater treatment services.

In the coming years, the demand for wastewater treatment services in Finland has been expected to remain strong, with urbanization construction plans starting in 2025 such as Pikitehtaankortteli and Nallenrinne (Residential development) and stringent environmental regulations such as upgradation in “Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive (UWWTD)” shaping market dynamics. Further, the expansion of chemical-intensive plants, such as “Green Ammonia Plant” by Flexen in Kokkola and “Inkoo Green Steel Plant” by Blastr Green Steel would require scalable and sophisticated wastewater treatment systems to address complex industrial effluents, creating substantial growth opportunities for wastewater service providers.

Additionally, the “Strategic Programme for a Circular Economy”, aiming for a carbon-neutral society by 2035, would drive the demand for advanced wastewater treatment solutions by promoting resource recovery, water reuse, and sustainable waste management practices, crucial for achieving circularity in industries and municipalities. These developments, combined with Finland’s growing commitment to sustainability would fuel the market's continued expansion in the coming years.

According to Bhawna, Assistant Manager, 6Wresearch, Operation & process control held the maximum revenue size in Finland wastewater treatment services market in 2024 due to widespread outsourcing by municipalities and industries for day-to-day plant operations, monitoring, and compliance.
