Hence, it is presumed that the expansion of oil & gas and chemical industries in the Middle East & North Africa regions would play a vital role in boosting the market demand for ozone generators during the forecast period.

The Middle East & North Africa Ozone Generator Market Driver:

Burgeoning Water Scarcity in the Region - The significant stress towards rising water scarcity in the region has displayed a positive influence on the Middle East & North Africa Ozone Generator market as the water scarcity induced the demand for water & wastewater treatment facilities in the region. With the growing population & rapid industrialization, the water demand is surging at a dynamic rate. Thus, this has influenced the governments of the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt, etc., to supplement their spending on the establishment of various water desalination plants & wastewater treatment plants as well as for the expansion of numerous wastewater & sewage treatment capacities. For instance:

• In 2021, the government of Egypt planned to invest approximately USD2.5 billion to establish new desalination plants over the next five years to avoid future water stress.

Hence, the surging water scarcity in the region has augmented the application of ozone generators for treating wastewater for reuse purposes in the region, therefore positively impacting the market outlook in the following years.

The Middle East & North Africa Ozone Generator Market Opportunity:

Surging Demand for Sustainable Products in Chemical Industry - Developments in the chemical industry, especially in sectors such as paints & coatings, agrochemicals, and specialty chemicals, would further attribute the demand for ozone generators in the region owing to the growing emphasis on sustainability in these industries. In 2021, at the 4th Gulf Petrochemicals and Chemicals Association (GPCA) Responsible Care Conference, the GCC chemical industry have reiterated their commitment to advancing sustainability, developing nature-positive solutions, and contributing to climate action. Ozone generators are considered a more environmentally friendly alternative to certain chemical-based purification methods which would push the demand for ozone generators.

Additionally, the production & establishment of chemical industries have also been growing due to the feedstock advantages & the strategic location of the Middle Eastern and North African countries. The abundant feed stock is attracting various major chemical companies such as Chevron, Bodo Möller Chemie, etc., to establish their chemical production plants in the region which would further drive the market in coming years.

The Middle East & North Africa Ozone Generator Market Challenge:

Presence of Alternatives Technologies to Restrict the Market Growth in the Region - The presence of alternative technologies for air & water purification, such as activated carbon filters, UV sterilization, and chemical disinfectants has been posing a threat for the growth of the Middle East & North Africa Ozone Generator Market. These technologies are present in the market for long time & are perceived as more familiar & reliable by consumers. In addition, the cost-effectiveness of competing technologies, established supply chains, and application-specific requirements has also been restricting the adoption of ozone generators in the market.

The Middle East & North Africa Ozone Generator Market Trend:

Surging Applications of Ozone Generators as Air Purifiers - Ozone generators have become more popular as air purifiers to combat airborne toxins, smells, and germs. As a result of the rising number of airborne diseases in the area, ozone has been efficient in removing bacteria, fungi, germs, odors, and other pollutants, destroying the cell wall at the molecular level. In this process, the pollutant is removed by converting ozone back to oxygen. Thus, these generators have been used as air purifiers in residential & commercial premises. Consequently, their market demand is anticipated to grow extensively during the forecast period due to the surging expansion of residential & commercial buildings.
