The growing freshwater scarcity issues across the globe have heightened the need for alternative sources to bridge the demand-supply gap. Desalination refers to the process of removing salt from seawater or brackish water to obtain fresh water suitable for drinking and irrigation purposes. It is one of the most viable options to overcome water scarcity issues. Seawater constitutes over 97% of the world's water resources but remains largely untapped. Desalination technology offers a sustainable solution to desalinate seawater on a large scale and supplement freshwater resources. Various desalination techniques such as reverse osmosis, multistage flash, multi-effect distillation, and electrodialysis are used to desalinate seawater in large coastal plants. Key regions deploying desalination include the Middle East, South Asia, North America, and Australia.

The Global Water Desalination Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 31.32 Bn in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 8.7% over the forecast period 2024 to 2031.
