SAN ANTONIO, TX, UNITED STATES, Feb 4, 2025 -- A recent analysis conducted by Verify Markets shows the United States PFAS water and wastewater treatment equipment market is poised for significant growth, with a projected CAGR exceeding 10.0 percent over the forecast period, fueled by tightening regulatory standards. The market was valued over $90.0 million in 2024.
The U.S. PFAS water and wastewater treatment equipment market is poised for significant growth, propelled by stringent EPA regulations, state-level mandates, and heightened public awareness of contamination risks. Adoption of advanced technologies—such as activated carbon adsorption, ion exchange, and emerging advanced oxidation processes—continues to accelerate due to their proven efficiency. Demand is driven by municipal utilities and industrial players aiming to meet compliance requirements. Public advocacy and federal funding initiatives further support market expansion.
The demand for PFAS treatment equipment is predominantly driven by the municipal sector, which constituted approximately 70.0 percent of total end-user market revenue in 2024. Industries represent the second-largest segment, accounting for an estimated 20.0 percent of market share. Over the next three to five years, the market is expected to undergo a structural shift, with drinking water’s share gradually declining. The industrial sector is positioned for significant growth, driven by increasingly stringent regulations mandating advanced pretreatment solutions for wastewater before discharge into municipal systems. Granular activated carbon was the predominant technology in 2024 with over half of the market by revenue.
“The market is poised for the development and adoption of next-generation filtration technologies specifically designed for PFAS removal. While activated carbon remains the most widely used and effective solution due to its broad adsorption capabilities, ongoing research and innovation are expected to drive the emergence of more efficient and cost-effective alternatives,” notes Shilpa Tiku, Chief Research Officer at Verify Markets. As these advanced solutions enter the market, they will likely reshape treatment strategies in both water and wastewater systems, setting new standards for performance and sustainability.
The market is highly competitive and consolidated with the top 3 companies holding over 65.0 percent of the total market by revenue in 2024. The key companies in the market include Xylem Inc., Calgon Carbon Corporation, Jacobs Solutions, Inc., Clean Harbors, Inc., Veolia, Aquagga, EPOC Enviro, and Pall Corporation, among others.
