DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Global Agricultural Wastewater Treatment (WWT) Market - Segmented by Technology, Pollutant Source, and Geography - Growth, Trends, and Forecast (2018 - 2023)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The global agricultural wastewater treatment (WWT) market was valued at USD 1,997.24 million in 2017. The market is estimated to be valued at USD 2,090.91 million in 2018 and expected to reach USD 2,730.24 million by 2023, at an estimated CAGR of 5.48% during the forecast period.

The increasing need for mechanization and food safety has led to an excessive use of the available freshwater resources in the past century. This has created an ecological imbalance, as the wastewater produced from the agricultural and industrial processes, and sewage water is discarded into freshwater resources. Freshwater sources have become extremely polluted, due to human activity, to the extent of becoming toxic.
Chemicals in agricultural wastewater treatment are mainly used for the treatment of pesticides and other harmful chemicals before the release of water in the river or other water resources. The primary technology employed for the treatment of wastewater from the agricultural sector is chemical and it accounts for around 45% of the market share in 2017. Chemical precipitation, coagulation, flocculation processes, absorption process, etc. are some of the chemical treatment processes commonly used to remove colloidal particles and microbes from wastewater.
Asia-Pacific is facing water pollution primarily due to the increase in the agricultural activities. The problem of water pollution is larger in Northern China, where close to 45% of the water available is considered unfit for human consumption. Approximately 60% of the Chinese population relies on groundwater sources for drinking, which is either untreated or improperly treated.
