  Escalating challenges of water scarcity and the depletion of freshwater reserves are driving the market growth

  
  

Market CAGR for water desalination pumps is being driven by the escalating challenges of water scarcity and the depletion of freshwater reserves. According to recent data from the World Resources Institute (WRI), approximately 25% of the global population is currently grappling with a water crisis. As of 2019, seventeen countries worldwide are experiencing "extremely high" levels of baseline water stress. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that nearly four billion people, constituting almost two-thirds of the global population, endure severe water scarcity for at least one month annually. Projections indicate that by 2040, approximately one in four children globally will reside in areas characterized by extremely high water stress. In response to the escalating demand for clean water, particularly driven by population growth and the agricultural sector, desalination emerges as a viable solution. Desalination, a process to extract salts and minerals from saline water, employs various techniques such as traditional distillation, vacuum distillation, multi-stage flash distillation, multiple-effect distillation, vapor-compression distillation, and reverse osmosis. Desalination pumps are integral to maintaining proper flow and reducing the pressure required for supplying potable water. These pumps find primary application in desalination plants.

The market is witnessing a significant impact from the widespread adoption of newer desalination processes, notably reverse osmosis and solar desalination. An illustrative example of solar desalination is showcased by GivePower's solar-powered desalination plant, completed in 2019 for USD 500,000. This innovative plant can provide 75,000 liters of fresh drinking water daily, sufficient for 25,000 people. With a smaller pump and lower power consumption, the system represents a notable advancement. Hayes Barnard, the Founder and President of GivePower, envisions a future with modular-style solar desalination units operating a single pump alongside a 15-kilowatt solar grid, incorporating three Tesla batteries. As a result, it is anticipated that throughout the projection period, demand for the Water Desalination Pumps Market will increase due to the escalating challenges of water scarcity and the depletion of freshwater reserves. Thus, driving the Water Desalination Pumps Market revenue.
