Global Market for Water Treatment

Ensuring availability of adequate amounts of clean water is set to be the number one global issue in the future. It is a challenge that will be faced not only by developing and newly industrialised countries, but also by the industrialised countries in the northern part of the globe. The market for the technologies involved in drinking water treatment is one of the fastest-growing markets worldwide. According to a market study carried out by BCC Research, global sales of water and wastewater technologies (excluding construction work) are set to climb from $25.3 billion in 2007 to almost $81 billion in 2012.
