China’s installed desalination capacity has reached 3.077 million cubic metres per day, according to figures released by the Ministry of Natural Resources, with more than one million cubic metres per day of additional capacity under construction or planned. A joint action plan issued in July 2026 targets 4.5 million cubic metres per day by 2030, requiring at least 1.5 million cubic metres per day of new capacity. The numbers underline how quickly coastal industrial regions are adopting seawater reverse osmosis to ease freshwater shortages.
