The global point of exit PFAS treatment systems market size is anticipated to reach USD 940.8 million by 2033 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.8% from 2025 to 2033, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market growth is driven by rising awareness of the health and environmental risks associated with PFAS exposure in sectors such as semiconductors, paper mills, electroplating, textiles, and packaging. Regulatory pressure to meet strict PFAS discharge limits is prompting commercial and industrial facilities to adopt POE systems for localized compliance.
Technological advancements are also fueling market growth. Innovations in granular activated carbon (GAC), ion exchange resins, and membrane filtration technologies have improved the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of POE systems. These advancements are making it easier for facilities to implement PFAS treatment without the need for major infrastructure overhauls. Compact system designs with high removal rates for both long- and short-chain PFAS are especially valuable in industries with space constraints or specialized water usage requirements.
Another key factor supporting adoption is the growing shift toward decentralized water treatment models. In many regions, especially in emerging economies or remote industrial zones, centralized municipal treatment systems are either insufficient or unreliable. As a result, businesses are turning to point of exit solutions that offer more direct control over water quality and regulatory compliance. These systems are particularly useful in industrial clusters where PFAS contamination risks are high, and immediate on-site remediation is necessary.
Finally, increased private-sector engagement in environmental risk management is accelerating the market. Many companies are implementing PFAS treatment systems not only to comply with legal requirements but also to protect brand reputation and reduce long-term liability. In parallel, international cooperation, public-private funding, and growing investor pressure on sustainability are encouraging broader adoption across key PFAS-intensive sectors.
