The main function of electroplating wastewater treatment is to treat wastewater containing heavy metals, organic matter, and inorganic salts into clean water without harmful substances through chemical, biological, physicochemical, and electrochemical methods, so as to meet the requirements of wastewater discharge standards.
01
Current Status of the Electroplating Industry
In recent years, China's automotive, machinery manufacturing, hardware, and electronics industries have developed rapidly, creating a huge demand for electroplating products.
According to statistics, the market size of China's electroplating industry has been growing steadily from 2017 to 2022, reaching 488.7 billion yuan in 2023, a year-on-year increase of 6.31%.
Although the electroplating industry accounts for a small proportion of the national economy, it is of great significance to the country's infrastructure construction.
The annual production of electroplating wastewater in China has been on the rise, It is estimated that the annual production of electroplating wastewater in China reached over 500 million tons in 2023.

Current Status of the Electroplating Wastewater Treatment System Industry
In recent years, with the increasing importance of ecological and environmental protection, the government has also increased its efforts to reduce pollutant emissions. For example, in March 2024, the General Office of the CPC Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council issued "Opinions on Strengthening Ecological Environmental Zoning and Control", which proposed to focus on solving prominent ecological and environmental problems, systematically integrate existing ecological and environmental management regulations, accurately formulate differentiated ecological and environmental access lists, and put forward requirements for controlling pollutant emissions, preventing environmental risks, and improving resource and energy utilization efficiency.
Therefore, with the continuous development of the electroplating industry, the market demand for electroplating wastewater treatment systems is also gradually increasing.
According to statistics, From 2016 to 2023, the market size of China's electroplating wastewater treatment system industry has generally maintained an upward trend except in 2020, under the influence of the epidemic, various places suspended work and production, and the electroplating wastewater treatment system industry was also affected.
In 2023, the market size of China's electroplating wastewater treatment system industry was approximately 4 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 8.1%.
In the future, with the implementation of stricter requirements by the government on pollutant emission reduction and pollution control, more development opportunities will be provided for the electroplating wastewater treatment system industry.
03
Competitive Landscape
From the perspective of the competitive landscape, the market share of China's electroplating wastewater treatment system industry is relatively dispersed, with many companies occupying the market.
With the strict implementation of environmental protection regulations, enterprises need to strengthen resource integration and cross-regional cooperation to achieve resource sharing and complementarity, and improve overall competitiveness. It is expected that future industry competition will further intensify, and market concentration is expected to increase.

Development Trends of the Electroplating Wastewater Treatment System Industry
1. Actively promote the use of efficient equipment
Efficient treatment is an important development direction for the electroplating wastewater treatment industry. With the development of the electroplating industry, the amount of wastewater discharged is constantly increasing, and the requirements for treatment efficiency are also getting higher and higher.
Efficient treatment can not only improve the processing speed but also reduce the land occupation and operating costs.
In order to achieve efficient treatment, enterprises need to adopt advanced treatment equipment. This equipment uses advanced membrane technology and reactor design to further improve industry efficiency.
For example, Nanofiltration and ultrafiltration membranes have the advantages of high efficiency and low energy consumption in the separation of metal ions and organic pollutants.
2. Actively promote the utilization of renewable resources from wastewater
Electroplating wastewater often contains a large number of metal ions, and these metal resources have high recycling value.
By introducing metal recovery devices, precious metals such as gold, silver, and copper can be effectively extracted from wastewater and reused.
This not only reduces the emission of metal pollutants but also generates additional income through metal recovery, reducing the overall cost of electroplating wastewater treatment.
For example, Ion exchange resins and electrolytic technology are commonly used metal recovery methods, characterized by high recovery rate and strong stability.
