From 2018 to 2022, the global lamella clarifier market exhibited growth at 3.8% CAGR and is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 4.8% by 2033. This growth is attributed to the increasing use of lamella clarifiers in various manufacturing industries such as chemicals, food & beverages, oil & gas, and pharmaceuticals for treating solid or liquid waste.
Globally, water scarcity is one of the biggest rising concerns. Further, several countries are getting affected by the constantly rising water crisis and water shortage. More than 1.2 million people around the world lack access to pure drinking water.
Continuously increasing demand from municipal, as well as industrial sectors, including energy production is contributing significantly to the decline of water resources. Owing to the aforementioned factors, various environmental regulations have been imposed by the government to reuse and recycle wastewater. This, in turn, might create significant opportunities for manufacturers and participants in the global lamella clarifier market.
Substantial growth in the chemical and fertilizer industry in countries such as China, India, the United States, the United Kingdom, and GCC countries might contribute to growth in the lamellar clarifier market. Also, demand for lamella clarifiers is increasing in Asia Pacific countries owing to the surging number of industrial activities. Growing demand for lamella clarifiers in waste treatment plants might also contribute to growth in the lamella clarifier market.
The food & beverage, chemical, and fertilizer industries are expected to grow with the implementation of various stringent government norms in the coming decade to diversify the economy. Factors such as wastewater reuse laws and increasing demand for efficient layered purifiers are also expected to provide significant growth opportunities for companies present in the global lamella clarifier market. As per FMI, the lamella clarifier market is projected to expand by 1.5x by 2032, as compared to 2022.
Increasing Demand for Fiber-reinforced Plastic
Depending on the application and high customer demand, many construction materials are used for the manufacturing of inclined plates and other parts of lamella clarifiers. Stainless steel, mild steel, high carbon steel, and fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) are some of the most used materials for the construction of lamella clarifiers. However, carbon steel is the highly preferred material for the development of lamella clarifiers.
Carbon steel can achieve high strength, toughness, and other desired properties owing to its ability to undergo heat treatment. Although the demand for FRP materials is increasing due to their high anti-corrosion properties, carbon steel is preferred for low-, as well as high-effluent flow capacity.
Principal Consultant
Refurbishing and reconditioning are considered to be economic options in the case of lamella clarifiers. Owing to the high capital cost and great operational life, demand for used lamella clarifiers is increasing at a significant rate, which, in turn, is impacting the demand for new equipment.
In some industries and plants, solid and liquid separation technology is required for a small period. Various traders and suppliers in the market provide lamella clarifiers for rent, which is adversely affecting the demand for new clarifiers, thereby negatively affecting the global lamella clarifier market.

Increasing Waste Management Projects in the United States to Push Demand for Lamella Water Treatment
The United States held around 12.8% of the global lamella clarifier market share in 2022. The country is set to lose 50 BPS points by 2033, says FMI. The country ranks first with 7.6 million m3/d of total treated wastewater recycling.
In 2017, 763 water reclamation projects in the country were tracked by research analysts, who estimated that, as of mid-2017, 17 states had projects worth USD 18 billion under development. A growing number of waste management projects might be a key contributor to the growth of the lamella clarifier market in the country.
Water Reuse Programs in China to Foster Demand for Lamella Filters
Water reuse is becoming gradually important with the increasing prevalence of water scarcity around the world and China ranks first in terms of rate of the total water reuse. Hence, the country is projected to expand at a CAGR of 5.4% during the forecast period from 2023 to 2033. As of January 2020, China's 10,113 water treatment plants treat wastewater from 95% of municipalities and 30% of rural areas.
In 2020, 39,000 new sewage treatment plants were built in the country. China plans to build or upgrade an 80,000 km sewage collection network between 2021 and 2025, thereby increasing its wastewater treatment capacity by 20 million cubic meters per day, which is likely to drive the lamella clarifier market in China.
Stringent Water Protection Norms in Germany to Drive Sales of Lamella Tanks
The lamella clarifier market in Germany is expected to thrive at a moderate CAGR of 4.2% over the forecast period. By the end of 2033, sales of lamella clarifiers in the country are projected to grow by 1.5x. Germany is considered to be the leading market for sustainable water management in Europe. Germany’s market held a market share of 5.2% in 2022.
Wastewater treatment and water supply alone have a volume of about 17.2 million per year in the country. Germany’s water protection policy maintains good water bodies, ensures a qualitatively & quantitatively adequate supply of drinking and service water, and takes legal precautions to ensure long-term public use. Additionally, there are research and development opportunities for all key market participants to create their products as per government norms and maintain good water management in the country.
