There is a rapid expansion of food processing plants across the world to reach new customers and increase sales. In addition, there is a significant shift towards processed food and ready-to-cook food due to the changes in lifestyle. As a result, it has increased the market share of food processing companies as they are expanding geographically to attract more customers.
Moreover, one of the key end-users of the DAF is the food industry as several sub-segments of the food industry, including food processing and packaging, among others, are water-intensive. As a result, a proper management mechanism is required for the treatment of wastewater before being reused or disposed of in the environment. Therefore, the growth of the food industry will positively impact the dissolved air flotation systems market. hence, such factors are expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.
One of the prominent market players, Xylem's Leopold, launched DAF, which offers new clarification technology for the retreatment of rapid gravity and membrane filter feedwater. The advanced technology known as the Clari-DAF system is highly effective in eliminating low-density particulates found in lakes and reservoirs. In addition, it enables the removal of clogging algae and other precipitates of solids.
Moreover, the main advantage of the Clari-DAF system is that it helps to improve cost savings by removing chemicals. There is increasing adoption of Clari-DAF systems as they improve solid settlement thickness, which reduces the man-hours required for handling sludge. as well as can accommodate higher loading rates. Hence, such factors are positively impacting the dissolved air flotation (DAF) systems market. Therefore, it is expected to hinder the market growth during the forecast period.
Industrial and municipal wastewater treatment comprises the purification of both soft and hard water. The presence of calcium and magnesium ions essentially leads to the hardness of the water. There is an increasing adoption of DAF across various industries and municipal treatment plants for wastewater treatment.
Moreover, there is a significant amount of hard water in wastewater from end-user industries. Thus, the increase in concentration of hard water reduces the dissolved air content, which in turn will reduce the efficiency of the process of DAF systems. Hence, such factors negatively impact the dissolved air flotation systems market. Therefore, it is expected to hinder the market growth during the forecast period.
The industrial segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period. There is an increasing adoption of DAF systems across various industrial applications such as food and beverage, pulp and paper, automotive, metal and steel, chemicals and petrochemicals, mining, power generation, oil and gas, electronic, and recycling facilities for water and wastewater treatment. One of the main industries in this segment which extensively uses DAF is the food and beverage industry.

The industrial segment was the largest segment and was valued at USD 81.57 million in 2018. There is an increasing use of DAF systems in the food and beverage industry for wastewater treatment as well as for other applications such as meat and poultry processing, food rendering, canning, food processing, snack foods, and distillation units. Several market players offer custom-made DAF systems for each of these applications along with pre-manufactured products. In addition, there is an increasing adoption of DAF systems in the automotive industry to treat wastewater that has oil and grease content. The main purpose of DAF systems is help to separate oils and grease from water and purify it for other purposes or for disposal. Hence, such factors are expected to fuel the growth of this segment which, in turn, will drive the market growth during the forecast period.
Based on type, the segment is classified into traditional dissolved air flotation systems and hybrid dissolved air flotation systems. The main purpose of the traditional air flotation segment is to clarify wastewater by removing suspended matter like oil and solids. The process of the traditional DAF system includes dissolving air in the water or wastewater under pressure and releasing the air at atmospheric pressure in a floatation tank basin. Some of the main advantages of the traditional dissolved air flotation system when compared to other wastewater treatment processes, such as providing high removal efficiency. Additionally, this segment is extensively used for various applications and treats a wide range of wastewater types. Other advantages include less space, less effluent turbidity, and contain increased efficiency in the removal of algae. Hence, such factors are expected to fuel the growth of this segment which in turn will drive the market growth during the forecast period.
