From generating electricity to steel, textiles and chemicals production, treated water has an important operational role to play. As the Indian industrial sector is rapidly growing, and the power generation is more than 1,300 billion units per year, the need for good quality water treatment chemicals is increasing constantly.<\/p>\n<p>This growing demand is a very good opportunity for startups and MSMEs who are seeking to get involved in manufacturing industry with moderate investment and regular recurring demand. Water treatment chemicals like RO chemicals, DM resins, boiler and cooling water dosing chemicals, filtration media are not optional inputs, on the contrary, these are critical consumables and required for continuous industrial operations.<\/p>\n<p>In this article, we discuss the market potential, business opportunities, import substitution advantages and business strategy of entry in the water treatment chemical manufacturing industry in India.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-white ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.niir.org\/blog\/water-treatment-chemicals-india\/#Read_More_Handbook_on_Organic_Waste_for_Biological_Treatment_Liquid_Manure_into_a_Solid_Tomato_Waste_Water_Treatment_Oxalic_Acid_from_Jute_Stick_Cotton_Processing_Waste_Fish_Waste_Agro-Industrial_Wastes_Bioconversion_of_Pretreated_Wheat_Straw%E2%80%A6%E2%80%A6%E2%80%A6%E2%80%A6%E2%80%A6\" >Read More: Handbook on Organic Waste for Biological Treatment, Liquid Manure into a Solid, Tomato Waste Water Treatment, Oxalic Acid from Jute Stick, Cotton Processing Waste, Fish Waste, Agro-Industrial Wastes, Bioconversion of Pretreated Wheat Straw&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.niir.org\/blog\/water-treatment-chemicals-india\/#Why_Water_Treatment_Chemical_Manufacturing_Is_a_lucrative_Business\" >Why Water Treatment Chemical Manufacturing Is a lucrative Business<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.niir.org\/blog\/water-treatment-chemicals-india\/#Important_Reasons_for_Entry_into_This_Industry\" >Important Reasons for Entry into This Industry<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.niir.org\/blog\/water-treatment-chemicals-india\/#Market_Growth_Pushed_by_the_Indian_Power_Sector\" >Market Growth Pushed by the Indian Power Sector<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.niir.org\/blog\/water-treatment-chemicals-india\/#Read_More_Water_and_Air_Effluents_Treatment_Handbook\" >Read More: Water and Air Effluents Treatment Handbook<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.niir.org\/blog\/water-treatment-chemicals-india\/#1_Manufacturing_of_RO_Reverse_Osmosis_Chemicals\" >1.
