Across various sectors, European industries produced approximately €5.9 trillion in industrial output in 2023, positioning Europe as the third-largest market globally, following the U.S. and Asia. This growth is bolstered by a robust recovery post COVID-19. However, the industry is confronted with ongoing water challenges related to scarcity and contamination, significantly increasing the demand for water solutions.
Regulatory frameworks are among key market drivers with numerous significant regulatory initiatives shaping investment in Europe’s industrial water market. The EU Water Resilience Strategy aims to ensure a sustainable water supply for rapidly growing industries such as semiconductors, hydrogen, and electric vehicle batteries, with an anticipated requirement of €55 billion, of which two-thirds is accessible through the Multiannual Financial Framework.
Updates to the Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive, the Net-Zero Industry Act, and the EU Chips Act are enhancing and stimulating the need for effective water management to facilitate industrial growth.
