Water Scale Removal Market: A Way to Lessen the Negative Effects of Hard Water

Water scale removal is a technique for reducing the effects of water that’s high in dissolved minerals content. Along with removing the impurities from water, the main task of the water scale removal process is to thwart magnesium and calcium bicarbonates from forming scale deposits. The system uses various technologies to lessen the negative hard water effects. The most popular ones are magnetic and electronic scale removal.

The increasing demand for freshwater is one of the major elements contributing to the rising market size. The water scale removal market was valued at USD 356.37 million in 2022 and is expected to grow to USD 498.10 million at a CAGR of 3.4% during the forecast period.

Why Hard Water Gives You a Hard Time?

Simply put, hard water is water that has a high content of dissolved minerals. Although there are several minerals in the water, the most common ones are magnesium, sodium, and calcium. When calcium and magnesium bicarbonate levels are high, the conditions for developing hard scales increase greatly.

The dissolved bicarbonate compounds precipitate out as the temperature of the water rises. As such, appliances that heat water are likely to develop some level of limescale. Given that hot water is delivered throughout the house in many homes, the water pipes and delivery infrastructure are at risk of experiencing clogs and scaling issues over time.

Problems Hard Water Can Cause

Hard water can lead to several issues. Some of them include:

• Buildup of white scale on sinks, tubs, faucets, and countertops
• Reduced efficiency of water flow throughout the house
• Increases likelihood of backflow and clogs in drain pipes
• Reduced potential service life of dishwashers and washing machines
• Higher water bills and increased soap costs
• Water marks on glassware, silverware, and dishes

Growth Drivers

Rapid industrialization worldwide, rising freshwater demand, and the development of wastewater treatment plants are anticipated to fuel the water scale removal market growth over the study period.

In the past few years, major developing economies have seen a tremendous expansion of the manufacturing and services sector. Also, several developers are focusing on setting up their plants in developing nations through FDI incentive schemes. The rising industrialization will increase the need for freshwater, which is further expected to boost the demand for water scale removal systems.

Geographic Reach

North America: The region held the highest water scale removal market share due to the complex government laws governing water treatment. Several US states like Arizona have high amounts of hard water. As such, the market is expected to expand in the nation.

Recent Developments

In March 2022, Tiaano announced the introduction of its Chemical free Electrolytic Scale Remover (ElSr). The EISr system can remove scaling and clean algae without using any chemicals.

In April 2022, Kathmandu entered into a of understanding (MoU) with the Government of Nepal to build the Khumjung Khunde wastewater management system. The project is financially supported by the Government of India and will cost an estimated of 41.13 million Nepali rupees.

To Conclude

Both appliances and people are impacted by the negative effects of hard water. The buildup of scales reduces the lifespan of appliances like water heaters, dishwashers, and coffee markers. Also, the high levels of magnesium and calcium in water can lead to health issues. The rising interest in goods and services to lower the effects of hard water is anticipated to have a favorable impact on the expansion of the water scale removal market.
