The Need for Water and Environmental Conservation Emphasised By Legislation is Likely to Aid Growth of Water Treatment Chemicals Market

Posted on: Tuesday, 16 January 2007, 09:00 CST

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c48615) has announced the addition of "European Industrial Water Treatment Chemicals Market" to their offering.

Presence in emerging industrial markets can foster a strong company and product image for water treatment chemicals manufacturers.

The enlargement of the European Union (EU) through the addition of new member states provides ample scope for growth of the water treatment chemicals market. Established participants have the opportunity to cater to these markets since these countries have traditionally allowed untreated water from their industrial and municipalities to enter the waterways. Moreover, regional presence can help these companies balance the requirements within these countries with respect to products, technology and logistics. Although the 'emerging' markets offer a promising hot spot for manufacturers, the lack of conducive infrastructure may hinder the deployment of regulations and legislation stipulated by the EU.

This Frost & Sullivan research service provides an in-depth look into the industrial water treatment chemicals market in Europe. This study includes an analysis of the market structure and market share of key participants in addition to application-specific analysis that offers insight into emerging opportunities for participants. It also includes regional trends as well as key challenges and strategic recommendations to counter them.

The Need for Water and Environmental Conservation Emphasised by Legislation is Likely to Aid Growth of Water Treatment Chemicals Market

The emphasis on the need to conserve non-renewable resources such as water through legislation is expected to drive the market for environment friendly chemicals, says the analyst of this study. The desire to comply with the standards set by the European Commission (EC) is likely to hike the use of chemicals that reduce pollutants in the environment.

The EU has imposed directives on water treatment and the discharge of dangerous chemicals that both companies and countries have to follow. Some of the directives that demand compliance are the Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive 91/271, the Water Framework Directive (WFD), the Biocidal Products Directive 98/8/EC, the Nitrates Directive 91/676 and the Dangerous Substances Discharge Directive 76/464/EEC. These EC directives not only regulate the treatment of dangerous chemicals prior to discharge, but also highlight the need to conserve water. The avoidance of water wastage in industrial processes is likely to lead to the development of effective treatment chemicals that improve the quality of wastewater. The directives that dictate conservation of water are likely to create a consistent demand for water treatment chemicals.

Global Environmental Concerns Urge Industries to Use Environmentally Friendly Products, thus Hiking Demand for Water Treatment Chemicals

As regulations in the EU become more stringent, the penalties are likely to increase, forcing industrial sectors to look for alternatives. In addition, the EC directives are enforcing deployment of Total Water Management in end-user industries. The focus is increasingly shifting from treating hazardous chemicals to solutions that conserve water right from influent to the final discharge. Manufacturers of water treatment chemicals are likely to benefit by supplying environmentally friendly products to customers that aid them in reducing the amount of pollutants into the environment.

As industries use large volumes of water, water treatment chemicals are required to streamline operations and improve productivity, notes the analyst. Increasingly cost effective, customers prefer these chemicals as they do not require additional investment; moreover, demand is likely to be boosted by the unification of Europe that is expected to create markets that industries can explore thereby developing consistent demand for water treatment chemicals.
