Industrial Vacuum Evaporation Systems Market

Market Overview

The global industrial vacuum evaporation systems market was valued at US$ 2.3 Bn in 2019. Growth is underpinned by increasing industrialization which has led to the emergence of major chemical manufacturing units.

A massive blip was experienced due to the onset of COVID-19, with projections estimating the downturn at -5.4% until 2020-end. As countries imposed stringent lockdowns in the past few months, industrial activity has nosedived, leading to major troughs.

However, as inoculation procedures accelerate, manufacturers are optimistic of a revival as on-site business operations would resume, restoring the demand-supply equilibrium in forthcoming years. Going by this trend, growth forecast has been revised to be valued at US$ 4.1 Bn by 2030.

Stringent Environmental Regulations

As urbanization accelerates, industrial development is also flourishing. Burgeoning international trade has facilitated cross-border industrial progress, leading to the establishment of numerous manufacturing units across various verticals. Unfortunately, this has also compounded environmental degradation, with debilitating impacts on the nature.

A key challenge arising out of industrial development is contamination of freshwater bodies and ecosystems. According to UN Water, availability of safe and consistent water supply is inextricably linked to wastewater management. High quantities of sewage and chemicals have severely degraded water quality across the world.

Governments are imposing strict emission regulation standards. The US Environmental Protection Agency’s Effluent Guidelines, Europe’s Best Available Techniques and the Ministry of Environment and Forests’ Effluent Standards in India are landmark achievements in controlling effluent discharge. Such developments are bound to enhance vacuum evaporators adoption throughout the forecast period.

Growing Water Scarcity

According to the World Health Organization, over 2 billion people lack access to safely managed drinking water services, while over 50% of the global population are unable to access safe sanitation services. Moreover, 80% of wastewater flows back into the ecosystem sans treatment.

Consequently, there is a massive global water scarcity problem. Most of it is an end-product of discharging contaminated water laden with harmful chemicals into the environment. Hence, governments are urging chemical manufacturing units to incorporate better effluent treatment mechanisms.

Therefore, industries are investing in vacuum evaporation systems. Vacuum evaporation is one of the most convenient and efficient techniques for treating aqueous effluents by transforming waste effluents into two streams, one of concentrated waste and another of high quality water.

Category-wise Insights

Chemical Industry Accounts for the Highest Demand

The chemical industry is expected to register maximum uptake of industrial vacuum evaporation systems, expected to reach US$ 910.8 Mn by 2030. The heightened usage is mostly to treat wastewater generated during the chemical manufacturing process.

However, the food & beverages industry is also emerging as an important end-user, attributed to the growing need for enhancing shelf lives of food and beverage products such as milk and sugar infused juices. The segment is poised to generate over 17% revenue until 2022.

Extensive Applications in Wastewater Treatment & Recycling

By application, wastewater treatment & recycling is generating credible investment opportunities for industrial vacuum evaporation systems manufacturers, experiencing an annual growth rate exceeding 6% beginning 2021. Vacuum evaporation can achieve 90% volume reduction of wastewater, hence making them highly suitable for the task.

Kovofins is an active players in this respect, manufacturing the AQUADEST Vacuum Evaporator series. The product comes in two series- AQUADEST-K and AQUADEST-D respectively. The former exerts operational pressure of 6-7 kilopascals while the latter exerts 70 kilopascals.

Multiple Effect Thermal Evaporators to Emerge as the Lynchpin

Based on system type, multiple effect thermal evaporators are acquiring immense popularity, accounting for nearly nine out of ten sales across various end-use industries. These evaporators are highly effective in ensuring long-term wastewater disposal cost reduction.

Heat pump evaporators are expected to be the 2^nd most lucrative segment, exhibiting value CAGR exceeding 8% across the forecast period. Players such as Condorchem Envitech are at the forefront of manufacturing heat pump evaporators. Its presently markets the ENVIDEST^® and DESALT^® series of heat pumps respectively.

High Preference for 1000-2000 Liters/Day Capacity Systems

By capacity, evaporators capable of handling 1000-2000 liters/day liquids are expected to gather significant momentum in the short-run, experiencing a Y-o-Y growth of 8.2% until 2025. High volumes of chemical processing on a daily basis is driving the segment.

Simultaneously, evaporators handling a capacity of up to 100 liters/day are expected to garner equally high popularity, generating a revenue share worth 20% across the next half-a-decade.

COVID-19’s Impact on the Industrial Vacuum Evaporation Systems Market

The COVID-19 pandemic has induced a recessionary impact across the global industrial vacuum evaporation systems market, resulting in a blip of -5.6% throughout 2020. Imposition of government mandated lockdowns has substantially impacted the manufacturing industry, attributed to macro level supply chain and production cycles disruptions.

The chemical industry has been especially hit hard by the pandemic crisis, with manufacturing capacities reducing by nearly 40-60% owing to labor shortages experienced as a result of social distancing norms. Emerging economies such as China and India have borne the maximum brunt of this downswing.

According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, chemical manufacturing across the East Asian giant slumped by nearly 1/5^th in February 2020 as compared to the previous year. Similarly, Indian capital markets experienced significant declines amid shortfalls in chemical manufacturing.

All these trends signify a largely sluggish growth path for the industrial vacuum evaporations systems market across the current year. Fortunately, growth prospects appear to be bright beginning 2021, as industries expect a resurgence amid heightened inoculation procedures which would permit resumption of on-site manufacturing operations.
