World Water Disinfection Market
Global demand to approach $7 billion by 2012
World demand for water disinfection products is projected to approach $7 billion by 2012. Although the US will remain the largest water disinfection market, developing nations, particularly China and India, are expected to register the fastest growth.
The need for water is universal, and all around the world people are confronted with many problems relating to water:
- In developing regions, such as in Africa and Asia, too few people have access to clean drinking water. An estimated one billion people worldwide do not have access to a safe water supply, and nearly that many do not have access to sanitation facilities.
- In more developed nations, such as in Eastern Europe, the water infrastructure has expanded to reach a large share of the population, but water quality remains subpar. In addition, wastewater treatment rates and standards remain low.
- Rapidly industrializing nations, such as China and India struggle with obtaining supplies of usable water, and with the difficulties associated with treating and discharging wastewater. Too often, too little wastewater is treated, and too much of it that is treated is not sufficiently disinfected.
- Even developed, more affluent nations confront water problems. Some countries, including the US, have population centers where native water supplies are inadequate or inferior. In addition, traditional disinfection techniques can create additional challenges such as unwanted disinfection byproducts.
Although there is still much progress to be made, the great majority of nations are spending substantial sums to improve the quality of their water supplies, and to expand access to them. Disinfection -- either via chemical treatment or use of disinfection equipment -- is a fundamental component of such programs:
- In developed countries, the product mix will shift away from low-cost commodities such as chlorine to better performing specialty products that are more environmentally suitable without compromising performance attributes, particularly in the industrial segment.
- In developing areas, growth will derive mostly from expansion of and improvement to the water infrastructure. Commodities such as chlorine will account for a much larger share of overall use, but specialty products will establish a more significant presence in industrial applications as well as in the smaller but fastgrowing recreational water disinfection segment.
