U.S. Advanced Water Treatment Equipment Markets 2010
Frost & Sullivan, June 2010, Pages: 1,118
This study covers the U.S. advanced water treatment equipment market, examining drivers and restraints for growth, pricing, technology and end-user analysis. In addition, an in-depth analysis of the competitive situation including vendors' market shares is performed. The base year is 2009 with forecasts running through 2016. The market is further divided into subsegments, including UV equipment, ozone equipment, reverse osmosis equipment, UF MF equipment, and Ion exchange ED, EDI and EDR equipment. The market is further divided into two end-user groups, drinking water treatment and industrial water treat
This research service titled U.S. Advanced Water Treatment Equipment Markets provides industry trends such as market drivers, restraints, competitive structure, pricing trends, technology trends, and revenue forecasts till 2016. In this research, Frost & Sullivan's expert analysts thoroughly examine the following markets: ultraviolet (UV) equipment, ozone equipment, ion exchange equipment, reverse osmosis (RO) equipment, microfiltration (MF) and ultrafiltration (UF) equipment, electrodialysis (ED) as well as electrodialysis reversal (EDR) and electrodeionization (EDI) equipment.
Advanced Water Treatment Equipment Get a Leg up as Traditional Methods Fall Short
The urgency caused by the deterioration of traditional water sources have sidelined the scepticism about advanced water treatment technologies, with increasingly stringent regulations encouraging the use of alternative technologies. Poor water quality, the need to upgrade or replace existing plants, and general aversion to chemical water treatment technologies have made a strong case for novel treatment solutions. “Alternatives to chlorine (ozone and UV) have been in the spotlight since the emergence of concerns regarding disinfection by-products (DBPs),” says the analyst of this research. “In the United States, the Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule (LT2ESWTR) and the Stage 2 Disinfection By-Products Rule (Stage 2 DBPR) are major drivers for alternative chlorine disinfection technologies such as UV and ozone.” The LT2ESWTR is specific to Cryptosporidium, a pathogen present in most surface water. UV is significantly less capital- and operation-intensive than other cryptosporidium inactivation technologies such as ozone and membranes.
Regulations, especially at the Federal level, are one of the key reasons for the success of advanced water treatment technologies in municipalities. UV is expected to be especially popular among municipalities that must meet treatment credits, but lack sufficient funds to retrofit the entire facility. Adverse public opinion about the quality of tap water has impelled governments to focus on safeguarding their water supplies. Widely covered deadly outbreaks of cryptosporidium in American cities have further enhanced citizens’ awareness and intensified the need for sophisticated treatment equipment. Numerous industries such as pharmaceuticals, life sciences, semi conductors, and food & beverages have raised their demand for high-purity water systems. Most of these industries prefer non-chemical based disinfection methods because residual chemicals in process water could affect the manufacturing process. In such a scenario, UV is emerging a viable option due to its ability to remove total organic carbon, when used alone.
However, smaller companies, which are threatened by strong vendor loyalty and consolidation, are battling for survival. End users tend to remain with trusted suppliers and rarely purchase products from others. “Such suppliers have strong financial advantage over smaller competitors in major business areas such as research and development as well as marketing,” notes the analyst. “To stay afloat in this market, smaller companies have to optimize treatment systems, offer new or improved advanced technology that can demonstrate long-term cost savings and equipment efficiency, as well as provide end users with complete solutions.”
