Market Definition

Biosolids are a kind of treated sewage sludge used as a soil conditioner owing to their derivation from organic solids after undergoing sewage treatment processes. These substances are rich in minerals & nutrients, which expands their application in various sectors, like agriculture, energy recovery, mine reclamation, water treatment, and crop fertilizer.

These are used most popularly as a natural fertilizer in fields. The prominent factor behind the massive adoption of this substance is its positive effect on the environment, i.e., gaining immense support & encouragement from governments for its application. Besides, stringent laws for emission control across the Middle East are also compelling chemical plants & factories to suitably treat wastewater (sludge) to meet the acceptable level.

Market Insights

The Middle East Biosolids Market is projected to grow at a CAGR of around 6% during the forecast period, i.e., 2022-27. The majority of the market expansion would be backed by the mounting public awareness about the benefits of biosolids, i.e., portraying their mounting utilization in different applications like agricultural, forest crop, land reclamation, landscaping, recreational fields, heat generation, incineration & gasification, oil & cement production, domestic & commercial uses, etc.

As a result, the leading players are actively working on increasing their water treatment capacities for biosolid production and meeting the burgeoning consumer requirements across different countries in the Middle East. Besides, as governments of different countries are highly focused on reducing the Green House Gas (GHG) emissions, the adoption of biosolids is escalating rapidly for recycling carbon & nourishing plants, thereby creating a circular economy. 

Moreover, with the exponential rise in population and high influx of tourists, pilgrims, & migrants across the Middle East, the agriculture sector is under massive pressure to yield crops and cater to such large consumption requirements while reducing dependency on chemical fertilizers. Hence, the demand for biosolids owing to their high nitrogen content in order to enhance soil health & increase crop production is rising swiftly. 

Additionally, the utilization of biosolids is also surging extensively across water scare countries in the Middle East since they help improve the capabilities of soil to absorb & store moisture and reduce the need for irrigation, thereby offering a natural drought resistance.

Furthermore, increasing consumer awareness about other benefits of biosolids, such as restoring deforested lands, open mines, stripped lands, minimized GHG emissions by storing carbon in the soil, etc., are also promoting their adoption and stimulating the overall market growth through 2027. 

Nonetheless, since biosolids are seen as a great source for covering landfills & energy production, their mounting adoption across different verticals is positively influencing the growth of the Middle East Biosolids Market through 2027.

Impact of Covid-19 on the Middle East Biosolids Market

The advent of Covid-19 in 2020 had several unprecedented challenges to different industries across various countries in the Middle East, and the Biosolids Market was no exception. Since governments had to impose lockdowns & stringent movement restrictions to curb the spread of this dreadful disease, it led to the suspension of all kinds of business activities, except construction. Consequently, the leading players faced several challenges in different operations associated with biosolids.

However, with a swift escalation in the number of Covid-19 cases, the growth of digested waste & biosolids rose too. It, in turn, made it highly important to treat the water suitably & eliminate all kinds of residues. Besides, the rapid surge in water treatment activities across different countries in the Middle East also led to the burgeoning production of biosolids. Moreover, as the agriculture sector was also instigating the need for biosolids to enhance soil quality & crop yield, it led to an upward market trend amidst the crisis.

Market Segmentation

Based on Application:

  • Agricultural Land
  • Non-Agricultural Land(Forest Crop, Land Reclamation, Landscaping, Recreational Fields, Domestic Use)
  • Energy Recovery & Energy Production (Heat Generation, Incineration & Gasification, Oil & Cement Production, Commercial Use)

Of them all, the agricultural land application is anticipated to dominate the Middle East Biosolids Market with the largest share during 2022-27. It owes principally to the benefits of Biosolids being the organic matter procured from the wastewater treatment process, which can be well-utilized as fertilizers, soil conditioners, & soil replacement products in the agricultural sector.

These diverse applications are primarily due to the high nutritional content in biosolids, which exhibit micro & macronutrients. Hence, the demand for biosolids is rising rapidly for agricultural applications across different countries in the Middle East to cater to the burgeoning food requirements of the massive population & tourist influx.

Additionally, since biosolids have no harmful effects on the environment, it is another reason behind the growing encouragement by governments to use these elements instead of chemical fertilizers for agricultural land applications and retain the soil health while reducing the dependency on synthetic fertilizers.

Moreover, since the utilization of biosolids significantly lowers GHG emissions, increases water holding capacity, & improves soil structure, they aid in the treatment & reclamation of old mining sites into vegetation establishment while improving the mined soil health. Hence, these aspects are leading to the increasing requirements for biosolids for agricultural land-based applications across the Middle East, which, in turn, is augmenting the overall market growth. 

Based on Class:

  • Class A
  • Class A EQ (Exceptional Quality)
  • Class B

Among these three, Class A biosolids are anticipated to contribute significantly to the market expansion through 2027. It owes principally to their surging demand for reducing the presence of pathogens to below detectable levels so that these can biosolids can be used for different applications without any pathogen-related restrictions at the application site.

Besides, since the Class A biosolids are sold extensively to the public for different applications, their demand across the agriculture sectors is showcasing a swift momentum in the market, coupled with remunerative growth opportunities for the leading players. Moreover, with additional benefits like minimal side effects on the environment and growing awareness among people about the use of biosolids as a cost-effective alternative to fertilizers, the demand for Class A biosolids is swiftly accelerating across the Middle East and, in turn, fueling the overall market growth.

Country Landscape

Geographically, the Middle East Biosolids Market expands across:

  • UAE
  • Saudi Arabia
  • Kuwait
