Demand for water reuse creates need for disinfection in water and wastewater treatment
LONDON - The need for disinfection in water and wastewater treatment processes is gathering further steam as rapid industrialization and urbanization call for more extensive water reuse, according to a press release.
Moreover, stringent legislation is driving the water and wastewater disinfection systems market. To fully leverage the market's enormous growth potential, particularly in developing regions, companies will need to provide cost-effective solutions, noted the release.
Globally, Europe had the highest market share in 2012, followed by the Americas and Asia-Pacific (APAC). While the diversion of water utility funds in the Americas is projected to slacken growth in the region, APAC will emerge as a powerhouse due to rapid population expansion, intensifying water demand and high industrialization rates.
New analysis from Frost & Sullivan (http://www.environmental.frost.com), Global Water and Wastewater Disinfection Systems Market, finds that the market earned revenues of $1.94 billion in 2012 and estimates this to reach $2.96 billion in 2019, stated the release.
The comprehensive research covers geographies (APAC, EU, Americas and Middle East and Africa), technologies (chlorine disinfection, UV and AOP, ozone, electro chlorination and others), end users (municipal and industrial) and applications (water and wastewater).
"Numerous water-specific directives such as the Clean Water Act (USA), the Drinking Water Directive (Europe), and the Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (Europe) are raising the bar on water quality standards," noted Frost & Sullivan's Energy & Environmental Research Analyst Vandhana Ravi. "Legislative enforcement, together with public health and safety concerns linked to poor quality drinking water, will reinforce the adoption of water and wastewater disinfection systems."
