싱가포르 물기업인 Hyflux의 CEO Olivia Lum에 따르면 세계 담수화 시장은 중동, 아시아, 아프리카 시장의 수익 다각화로 성장할 것으로 예상된다.

‘Water&Wastewater International’에서 Lum은 회사의 핵심 영역과 다른 곳에서 수익이 예상되는데, 수익의 87% 중 일부가 아시아에서 발생한다며 “아프리카뿐만 아니라 중동 아시아 시장이 개선될 것으로 보며, 앞으로 몇 년 후 아시아, 아프리카, 중동 지역의 수익이 균형을 이룰 것이라고 기대된다”고 밝혔다.

 

 

 

Anticipated growth in the global desalination market is expected to help diversify revenue from Asia to the Middle East and African markets for Singapore water company, Hyflux, according to its chief executive Olivia Lum.

 

Speaking to Water & Wastewater International magazine Lum said she anticipated revenues from elsewhere would align with the firm's core regions in Asia where some 87% of its revenue is made: " We do see a pick up from the Middle East, as well as Africa, so we do expect that over the next couple of years we will see some balance in revenue in Asia, Africa and Middle East."

 

Revenue from the Middle East and North Africa region contributed 7% according to Hyflux's last annual report. At the end of 2014 the company started up its 500,000 m³/day desalination plant in Magtaa, Algeria.

 

Lum said HYflux's recently won design, build, own and operate contract to build a 200,000 m³/day independent water project (IWP) in Qurayyat, Oman would be a springboard for the company in the Middle East. " Winning Qurayyat gives us more confidence - and also from Oman, we'll be able to launch into other countries nearby," shaw said.
