Asian water markets grow in 2007 to over 65 billion US Dollar, in 21 Asian
countries

Water Markets, Technologies and Projects in Asia 2007-2025. The first sewage
plant to produce and supply drinking water from sewage build in asia will be in
singapore. New York Conferene in July, Zurich September and Beijing October 2008

Helmut Kaiser Consultancy released a new study: Asia Water. For more

Several Asian countries like China, Japan, India, Taiwan, Korea and Vietnam
increased their Investments in drinking water, waste water and water treatment
in the last 24 month dramatically. The other Asian countries followed. Some
countries have too much water and some countries not enough, but all Asian
countries together face quality problems. Drinking water is bought at
supermarkets by 60 percent of the population since years, but now more and more
the water contaminants come back over the daily food and environment. Companies
in China will have to close down if the water pollution problem is not solved at
a given time. The regulations are there since years but now the government care
for the compliance. Result is the water market in industrial segments double
within 3 years.

apans investments in waste water treatment will increase within the next years
to secure food from the sea. Contaminated fish and other seafood directed the
decision. Drinking water is dangerous in all the countries and high priority for
actions and investments. These examples are typical for all Asian countries and
show only some of many problems to be solved over the next 15 years. Less than
10 percent of the waste water is treated today.

The market for waste water and drinking water in Asian reached over 50 billion
US$ in 2007 and will reach 117.3 $ in 2015. Than still less than 30 percent of
the waste water will be treated from 10 percent today and the drinking water
still will come from the super markets. Only slowly after 2015 the situation is
getting better and partly the water quality increase and contaminations decrease
according to a new study from helmut kaiser consultancy. Japan is leading the
total markets with about 30 percent today and followed by China with 20 percent.
In 2015 Japan will lead with 25 percent and followed by China with 35 percent.
But the markets are nearly two times from today. The others are 19 more Asian
countries.

Only some years ago it was difficult to earn money in this market but today the
profit potential is higher than in Europe with the right portfolio and
technology. Therefore the competition from all over the world is already there
or coming. 250 companies lead 60 percent of the whole Asian markets. 45 percent
is the import still in 2007 but will decrease to less than 30 percent in 2015.
To buy innovations and new technologies is the interest of the leading Asian
countries and not materials and work. Joint venture and technology transfer is
the booming business. Membrane technologies, intelligent sewage plans , water
desalination are key technologies and BOT models are the successful business
instruments. Water disinfection show the highest growth rates with 16 percent in
2007 and Service with 14 percent.

Water efficiency in many asian countries will need to follow the example of
Singapore with 70 percent goal, reuse water from sewage as industry or drinking
water, collecting rain water, use water desalination plants and recycle all
kinds of water.
There will be a conference on this in July in New York, September in Zurich and
October in Beijing
