Analysis
Trends Shaping the Market
- The government of Philippines has
enforced strict environmental regulations. Department of Environment and
Natural Resources (DENR), has registered higher penalties of maximum PHP
200,000 per day for violation of wastewater discharge standard. Moreover,
there is also National Sewerage and Septage Management Program (NSSMP)
that targets to increase sewage treatment coverage to 80% by 2028 which
would help directly impacting demand for industrial wastewater treatment
solutions.
- Industries such as manufacturing,
pharmaceutical, and food processing have made rapid progress leading to
the generation of more wastewater. Among these manufacturing and food
processing industry are the biggest contributors, pharmaceutical sector
has witnessed a 12% increase in wastewater output as of 2024 due to
expanded local production capacity. Industrial wastewater accounts for 30%
of the total wastewater generation of Philippines, equating to 4.2 billion
cubic meters in 2024.
- The growing concern of water scarcity is
driving the industries to prioritize water reuse and recycling. In 2024,
almost 18% of the industrial wastewater has been recycled for non-potable
purposes. This resulted in a more than 20 million cubic meter annual
reduction in freshwater consumption in factories in 2024. Many companies
are now working to achieve 100% water neutrality by 2030.
- There has been increasing technological
and infrastructure advancements. In 2024, over 25% of installations for
advanced technologies were represented by membrane filtration and reverse
osmosis. Moreover, government earmarked PHP 12.3 billion ($220 million)
for wastewater treatment infrastructure next year, specifically targeting
industrial zones and eco-industrial parks. These developments provide
scalable solutions for complex industrial wastewater treatment
requirements.
Consolidated Market Landscape
The Philippines industrial waste
water treatment Industry is concentrated, with few domestic and
international players dominating the market. The key players of the market are
Manila Water, Maynilad Water, and Veolia Water Philippines. Manila Water is of
the largest waste water treatment company in Philippines which was awarded contract
with major manufacturing companies in 2024. The company comprehensive services
such as designing, constructing, and operating treatment facilities. Maynilad
Water has signed a new contract with Luzon food processing plants and manufacturing
hubs which led to 20% rise in its revenue from industrial clients as of 2024.
Veolia Water Philippines introduced reverse osmosis systems for high-purity
water needs and saw more than 15% increase in installing advanced treatment
technologies in 2024.
Recent news
January 2025: Metro
Pacific Water Solutions (MPWS) has entered a memorandum with Hitachi Asia Ltd.
to pursue business opportunities in water supply and wastewater
treatment in the Philippines. This partnership is also
designed to tackle the country's major wastewater management problems, with the government
aiming to boost wastewater treatment coverage to 80% by 2028.
Market Future Outlook
The Philippines industrial WWT market
will grow through 2029. The adoption of modular and decentralized wastewater
treatment systems will increase, over 30% of industrial wastewater is expected
to be reused by 2029. This is driven by the increasing cost-saving measures and
corporate sustainability commitments. Many international enterprises are
investing in high-tech industrial parks to enhance their market. Additionally,
government has announced number of schemes like providing subsidy and
incentives for adaptation of water use technologies and Sustainable Practices.
The growing Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) models will enable foreign players to
plant long-term stakes in the long run.
