The Global Aquamation Market is estimated to be valued at USD 210.5 Mn in 2025 and is expected to reach USD 423.6 Mn by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.54% from 2025 to 2032. The global aquamation market represents an emerging and rapidly evolving segment within the death care industry, offering an environmentally sustainable alternative to traditional cremation and burial practices. Aquamation, also known as alkaline hydrolysis or water cremation, utilizes a combination of water, alkali solution, heat, and pressure to accelerate the natural decomposition process, resulting in bone fragments and a sterile liquid byproduct. This innovative process significantly reduces carbon emissions compared to flame-based cremation while eliminating the environmental concerns associated with traditional burial methods such as land usage and potential groundwater contamination.
Market Dynamics
The global aquamation market is propelled by several key drivers that collectively contribute to its expanding adoption and market growth. Environmental consciousness serves as the primary driver, with consumers increasingly seeking sustainable alternatives to traditional cremation and burial methods, as aquamation produces 90% fewer carbon emissions than flame cremation and eliminates mercury emissions from dental fillings. The aging global population and rising death rates create a natural demand expansion for death care services, while regulatory approvals and legalization of aquamation in numerous states and countries provide the necessary framework for market development. Cost-effectiveness compared to traditional burial methods and the ability to return more ashes to families than conventional cremation further drive adoption.
