Country Industry Forecast - Social Infrastructure & Labor Analysis for the Canadian Environmental and Building Technologies Industry
Frost & Sullivan, April 2006
Although North America, Western Europe, and Japan continue to account for the bulk of the global environmental and building technologies (EBT) industry, the growth rates in these markets have slowed down recently. The growth potential for the global EBT industry lies in the developing countries of Eastern Europe, Latin America, and Asia. Environmental regulations and energy-saving mandates - the most important factors influencing the growth of the EBT industry - have become increasingly stringent among North American countries. Moreover, integration of business decisions with environmental issues, increasing construction activities, reduction in global trade barriers, greater globalization, and rising awareness of environmental issues have been driving industry growth.
North American countries have begun investing heavily in environmental technologies and cleaner production processes, in line with greater integration with the global economy. The priority given to investments in environmental infrastructural and transportation projects as well as the existence of substantial research and development (R&D) activities have also greatly aided the EBT industry. Social infrastructure and labor policies greatly impact this demand-driven industry and industry-specific policies, wherever effectively enforced, provide added impetus.
The Canadian economy is well developed, with an increasing gross domestic product (GDP) and a host of growth opportunities. The technologically advanced Canadian EBT industry is internationally competitive and enjoys strong political support. The Canadian Government has been making significant investments in environmental infrastructure and has been encouraging private participation in certain infrastructural projects. The Canadian economy and its indicators have also been providing a boost for the EBT industry. Despite a gradually increasing population with an annual growth rate of 0.8 percent in 2005, the pace of urbanization and proposed construction of buildings are likely to drive the building technologies industry in the future. Improved consumer spending and higher disposable incomes are also expected to bode well for the EBT Industry, especially for the environmental equipment segment.
Frost & Sullivan’s Environmental and Building Technologies Country Industry Forecast service provides vital inputs for evaluating the attractiveness of a country and its EBT industry. Besides enabling decision makers to assess the impact of non-market forces, it also helps in identifying new market opportunities. This service provides a strong base for preparing contingency plans. In addition, investors can assess industry-specific risk factors as well as conduct a more in-depth micro research.
