Water Purification Markets Worldwide grow with 15 percent per year to 2025, high profit potentials

May 20, 2010 - PRLog -- Fast growing urban areas and mega cities have there special problems handling wastewater treatment and drinking water demand and supply. New concepts, systems and technologies enter these markets within the next 20 years. Wastewater will be turned into drinking water in expected 200 mega cities, today there are 6 cities and areas to do that. There is no or little acceptance for so called "new water" but this will change over the next years through the experience with the technologies and the pressure of water demand. These 200 mega cities will count for a market share of 40 percent by 2025.

The market for water purification is 85 billion US$ in 2010 (only equipment and products, the whole value chain is not included) and growing on average over 6-10 % per year depending on the country. The highest growth is to be expected in China with an annual growth rate of over 15 % followed by India, Brazil, South-East Asian countries and the Middle East. The European Market is generally on a high level and is dominated by membrane technologies, accounting to approximately 50% of the total market in Europe. However reverse osmosis will become more popular, in particular in the electronic industry, food processing industry and pharmaceutical grade water. Another segment, which is expected to gain more market share, is the microfiltration, with increasing demands in food and beverage industry as well as the pharmaceutical industry.

Water demands are at all time high with an increasing tendency. Water availability is a major issue in many parts of the world, not only drinking water demands are increasing but also water for the industry and communal uses are valuable. There are many ways to purify water. Some more conventional methods such as filtration, UV disinfection, reverse osmosis, and many more are dominating the markets, although particular methods are expected to show stronger growth than others. In particular reverse osmosis and distillation type processes will grow dramatically.
