South African Industrial Water and Wastewater Treatment Chemicals
Frost & Sullivan, Nov 2009, Pages: 105
Research was carried out to analyse the South African industrial water and wastewater treatment chemicals market and determine the market trends of the various product segments and end user industries, market structure, evaluate opportunities for suppliers and provide strategic recommendations and conclusions.
This Frost & Sullivan research service titled South African Industrial Water and Wastewater Treatment Chemicals Market provides an insight into the market drivers, market restraints and industry challenges and determine their impact on the future demand for industrial water and wastewater treatment chemicals in South Africa. This research service also determines the overall revenues and revenue forecasts for the industrial water and wastewater treatment chemicals segments along with an analysis of the individual chemical group use in various end-user industries. Frost & Sullivan's expert analysts thoroughly examine the following markets by product type: coagulants and flocculants, pH adjustment chemicals, scaling and corrosion control chemicals, disinfectants and biocides and defoamer and anti-foamer chemicals.
Market Overview
Planned Infrastructural Development to Boost Growth in the South African Industrial Water and Wastewater Treatment Chemicals Market
The demand for water and wastewater treatment chemicals in end-user sectors such as petrochemicals, food and beverage, mining and power generation will witness significant growth due to the planned infrastructural development by Eskom – the national electricity supplier in South Africa. Increasing environmental awareness and economic concerns have driven industrial end users to reuse effluent and process water. Additionally, South African end users of industrial water and wastewater treatment chemicals are aware of the scarcity of water, including the limited supply to domestic end users, especially in rural areas, and implications of overuse in the region. This is another driver for the reuse of industrial effluent and process water. 'Although the South African industrial water and wastewater treatment chemicals market is currently restrained with reduced demand, the high cost of alternative technologies and its necessity in many end-user industries is sustaining low to medium growth,' notes the analyst of this research. 'Industry participants have mentioned sharp decreases in sales, while others speak positively of upcoming opportunities in the local market, especially in the power generation and mining industries.'
In 2009, Eskom’s water consumption for its estimated 39,000 megawatt (MW) coal power generation capacity was approximately 375,000 million cubic metres per annum (MM3/a). From 2013, Eskom plans to build an additional 7,000 MW of capacity in two projects, namely Medupi and Kusile. By 2017, water consumption would have proportionally increased by an estimated 67,200 MM3/a, indicative of the opportunity that exists in the power generation industry. In the water treatment chemicals segments, scaling and corrosion control as well as disinfectant type chemicals are expected to witness the highest growth, as they are used extensively in high opportunity end-user industries for their cooling towers and boilers. Compound annual growth rates of 7.0 per cent and 6.6 per cent, respectively, are estimated for these chemicals types, largely due to their use in the power generation industry.
Value-added Services and Alternative Sales Strategies to Enhance Growth Prospects for Water and Wastewater Treatment Chemicals Suppliers
The cost-effectiveness and increasing efficiency of mechanical systems can affect the sales of water treatment chemicals. For example, in the pulp and paper industry, foaming is at present mechanically limited with innovative equipment, resulting in the reduced use of defoaming chemicals. 'Mechanical technologies can remove scaling and corrosion-causing substances in the water used in boiler and cooling towers,' explains the analyst. 'This decreases the need for industrial water and wastewater treatment chemicals.'
Providing a complete client-support service, combined with alternative sales strategies and value-adding products could overcome these challenges for water and wastewater treatment chemicals suppliers. Furthermore, looking beyond local infrastructural expansion projects for opportunities abroad will also bring about growth prospects.
