This would help the industrial water & wastewater treatment chemicals market to grow across South Africa during the forecast period.

According to Ravi Bhandari, Manager, Research and Consulting, 6Wresearch, "Coagulants and flocculants are the key revenue generating segments in the South Africa industrial water & wastewater treatment chemicals market. This is attributed to the fact that the mentioned chemicals are heavily employed across several industries for the removal of solid waste from the wastewater. The segment is anticipated to maintain its dominance during the forecast period as well owing to higher utilization of the segment in various industries. However, the biocides segment is expected to register a higher growth rate during the forecast period on account of government focus on the utilization of environment friendly chemicals in the treatment of wastewater across the country."

"Amongst industry type, mining undertook majority of the revenue share in the overall industrial water & wastewater treatment chemicals market in South Africa in 2018. This is attributed to the fact that a significant fraction of the country's population depends on mining for survival. The segment is expected to maintain dominance during the forecast period as well owing to upcoming projects under the mining industry such as, Impala No. 17 Shaft-Rustenburg ($833.3 million), Venetia Underground Diamond Mine ($1,500 million) and Parabola Copper Lift 2 Project ($697.5 million)," Ravi further added.

According to Devesh Kumar, Research Associate, Research and Consulting, 6Wresearch, "By regions, the Western Cape province held the highest revenue share in the overall industrial water & wastewater treatment chemicals market in South Africa owing to high presence of manufacturing industry in the province. Manufacturing is the second biggest sector in Western Cape and contributes around 15% to the South African manufacturing sector output. Further, considerable investment is expected across the province over the coming years, which would help the industrial sector to grow and generate demand for wastewater treatment chemicals during the forecast period."

"Among all the applications, the segment of cooling & boilers acquired the highest revenue share in the overall South Africa industrial water & wastewater treatment chemicals market. This is attributed to the fact that manufacturing and construction industries in South Africa employs several processes involving continuous cooling & boiling of water. The segment is anticipated to maintain its dominance over the next six years as well on account of upcoming projects such as, Masingita City Mall, Tembisa Mall and Umm al-Hayman wastewater treatment plant expansion during the study period, " Devesh further added.
