The global vacuum evaporators market size was valued at USD 2.37 billion in 2020 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 7.1% during the forecast period. Vacuum evaporators are increasingly being used for the minimization and treatment of industrial wastewater. Vacuum evaporators function by transforming waste effluent into two streams of high-quality water and concentrated waste. The resultant high-quality water can be re-used, whereas the concentrated waste significantly reduces waste management costs, resulting in enhanced efficiency and energy savings.

Heat pump vacuum evaporators are fully automated to offer complete separation of metals and surfactants. These evaporators are being used as an affordable solution for industrial wastewater recycling and treatment. Heat pump vacuum evaporators offer advantages such as flexibility, low energy consumption, and reliability.
Heat pump vacuum evaporation provides high distillate yield with significant reduction of Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) through control of foaming phenomena. Heat pump vacuum evaporators are widely used in the food and beverage industry for milk and dairy production and manufacturing of beverages such as tea and juices. The application of heat pump vacuum evaporators has also increased in the wine industry for self-enrichment and dealcoholizing of grapes must.
Growth Drivers
The adoption of multiple-effect evaporators in the market has increased significantly in the automobile industry. Automobile production requires a large amount of water for carrying out manufacturing processes. Vacuum evaporators provide means to obtain clean water from wastewater through conversion into steam. The steam is compressed again to acquire clean water to be reused in the processing plant.
The use of vacuum evaporators enhances material stability while improving overall productivity. Some applications of vacuum evaporators in the automotive industry include oily water evaporation, wastewater treatment, chemical evaporation, plating, and industrial evaporation among others.
The growing automotive industry coupled with an increasing number of passenger and commercial vehicles drives the growth of this market. The rising need to improve manufacturing productivity and growing demand from the food & beverage sector supports the market growth of the vacuum evaporators across the globe.
The introduction of strict industrial emission and environmental regulations has increased the demand for vacuum evaporators from the industrial and manufacturing sectors. The rising industrialization, growing environmental concerns, depleting sources of freshwater, rising adoption of Zero Liquid Discharge Systems, and technological advancements have further accelerated the sale of vacuum evaporators across the globe.
