Key Takeaways

• Rapidly depleting freshwater resources and increasing wastewater complexities in U.S. is estimated to drive the demand for water and wastewater treatment technologies and raise the growth of the U.S and Canada Water Treatment for Food and Beverage in the forecast period. 
• Furthermore, one of the major factors driving the U.S and Canada Water Treatment for Food and Beverage is the rising demand for water treatment in the food and beverage industry to remove brine, bacteria, and other contaminants.
• In U.S., the rising urbanization and rapid industrialization has also raised the need for fresh water among individuals. Thus, this is anticipated to act as a key driving factor for the growth of the U.S and Canada Water Treatment for Food and Beverage in the upcoming years.

Reverse osmosis (RO) held the largest share in the U.S and Canada Water Treatment for Food and Beverage in 2021 at 25.3%. RO is a membrane separation water purification technique in which source water flows with pressure along the membrane surface. Purified water passes through the membrane and is collected, whereas concentrated water, which contains dissolved and undissolved debris and does not pass through the membrane, is released into the drain. Additional benefits of reverse osmosis systems for water treatment includes the removal of pigment, odor, chemicals, or taste, as well as the elimination of residual materials. It is also quick and efficient, which makes it a preferred choice for a variety of applications. Thus, it is estimated that the driving demand for reverse osmosis treatment method owing to its advantageous property for water treatment will drive the growth of the market.

U.S and Canada Water Treatment for Food and Beverage Segment Analysis - By Application

By application, the Beverage Industry is estimated to account for a major share of the Water Treatment Systems market during 2021 at 62.1%. This is owing to the rising usage of water to manufacture mineral water, fruit juices, sodas, soft drinks, energy drinks, alcoholic beverages, and others. Every beverage requires a specific water treatment procedure. The beverage industry requires a large amount of water to manufacture their products. Furthermore, stringent manufacturing regulations to ensure hygienic beverages and increased efficiency of production processes are increasing the demand for these systems. Growing consumption of energy drinks with the rising health concern is set to contribute to the growth of the Water Treatment System Market during the forecast period between 2022-2027. The food and beverage sectors are constantly confronted with issues relating to water supply and quality. During certain seasons, the water supply becomes unstable due to droughts, or torrent rain, and significant flooding can wreak havoc on the overall quality of the water supply. Faced with all of these challenges, it is critical that food and beverage companies in U.S. adopt advanced water treatment and purification techniques in order to comply with cGMP (current good manufacturing practice) standards set forth by HACCP (Hazard Analysis at Critical Control Points), HASSOP (Hygiene Standard Sanitation Operating Procedure), EEC (European Environment Committee), and other health guidelines, and to remain compliant. Also, in the food and beverage industry water must be treated to ensure that it does not interfere with the food manufacturing process. 

U.S and Canada Water Treatment for Food and Beverage Segment Analysis - By Region

The U.S accounted for majority share In the Water Treatment for Food and Beverage in 2021 at 82.2%. To speed up disinfection, chemicals are utilized in a variety of processes during water treatment. Chemical unit processes are chemical processes that cause chemical reactions and are used in conjunction with biological and physical cleaning processes to achieve specific water standards. Corrosion inhibitors are chemical products that limit the rate of corrosion when added to water or any other process fluid. Increasing use of specialized chemicals such as chlorine, hydrogen peroxide, sodium chlorite, and sodium hypochlorite (bleach) to disinfect, sterilize aid in the purification of water in food and beverage sector is further estimated to drive the market growth.

Increased focus on preventing food or beverage contamination

Contamination is a key concern in the food and beverage industry. Government and regulatory authorities are establishing strict rules to reduce contamination in the food and beverage production process. Hence the use of water treatment systems are increasing. Industries such as dairy processing have major concerns over contamination since milk is prone to contamination by bacteria and other microorganisms. Techniques such as reverse osmosis, UV disinfection, and others are commonly used in the food and beverage industry. The use of water treatment systems in the food and beverage industry aids in disinfection and sterilization of water by removing dangerous organisms and contaminants in it. Increasing demand for water treatment is owing to the purity, safety, and quality of this water post its treatment and the wider application of this water.

Water Treatment to Enhance Taste and Clarity of Beverages

Filtering enhances the taste of beverages as well as its appearance. Moreover, water treatment in beverages plays a prominent role in ensuring hygiene and efficient production while improving the taste of the product. This makes water treatment systems popular for use in the beverage industry. Also, increasing health concern has driven the demand for low-salt or low sugar beverages, which is fueling the use of water treatment systems in eliminating the excess minerals and salts in beverages. The rise in health consciousness is set to increase the consumption of energy drinks in the coming years thereby contributing to the growth of this market as production of such drinks also increases.
