ANAEROBIC TREATMENT TECHNOLOGY MARKET REPORT OVERVIEW

The global anaerobic treatment technology market was valued at approximately USD 15.08 billion in 2024 and is expected to rise to USD 16.54 billion in 2025, eventually reaching USD 34.67 billion by 2033, expanding at a CAGR of 9.7% from 2025 to 2033.

The process of turning organic matter into methane and carbon dioxide under anaerobic circumstances, also known as anaerobic digestion, is known as anaerobic treatment technology, and it is an environmentally friendly and energy-efficient approach for treating wastewater, especially industrial effluent. Anaerobic bacteria (biomass) are used in the treatment to turn organic contaminants or COD (chemical oxygen demand) into biogas in an oxygen-free setting. Organic matter in wastewater is converted by anaerobic bacteria into biogas, which is mostly composed of methane and carbon dioxide.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Stringent Regulations and Government Rules to Hinder the Market Growth 

The anaerobic treatment technology market was slightly affected by the COVID-19 epidemic. Travel bans, limitations on manufacturing, and enacted lockdowns all helped to reduce the amount of garbage produced by the commercial and industrial sectors. As a result, both the amount of waste generated and the generation of digestate and biogas were decreased. This constraint prevented the market from expanding during the pandemic. But after the lockdowns were removed and production resumed, the sector experienced a huge uptick in activity and returned to its pre-pandemic growth rate. 

LATEST TRENDS

The Growing Usage of Biogas as a Source of Renewable Energy is Expanding Market Growth

The market for anaerobic treatment technology is experiencing growth due to the rising demand for renewable energy sources. The growing use of biogas as a sustainable energy source is one of the main drivers behind the expansion of the anaerobic treatment technology business. Over time, biogas programs have grown steadily. The need for biogas is rising globally, and more people are setting up biogas plants to create it. Since combustion is not a part of the process, producing biogas is environmentally beneficial. Since there is no combustion, there is no atmospheric release of greenhouse gases. As a result of the advantages, it offers the environment, the market for anaerobic treatment technology is expanding significantly.
