US$6 Billion Market-- Incredible Market Demands

It's been 173 years since the environmental protection industry in China was initiated, but it is in the 80s to 90s of the last century that the industry really began to bloom as the consequence of the environmental issues caused by the rapid economic development. Compared with other developed countries in Europe and America, however, China is left behind in this territory. Accordingly, there is a great demand from the market to import the advanced technology and equipments and introduce more foreign investment.

As the pioneer province in the field of environmental protection, Guangdong pays a lot of attention to the water resource protection and wastewater treatment industry. By 2010 Guangdong will invest US$6 billion in wastewater treatment. However, it is far from enough to solely rely on governmental investment, and this enormous amount of fund is a pressure to the provincial governments. Therefore, the government is taking the industry towards the direction of marketization and industrialization. So far 62 wastewater treatment factories have been built in Guangdong, 10 of which adopt the BOT or TOT mode; 124 programs are being built with a total investment of US$165 million which still favor the mode of BOT or TOT.

As an important event in the water industry that you should not miss, Water China 2007 is to dedicate to provide favorable business opportunities, and cater to the incredible market demands for everyone involved in the field. After seven years' growth, it has become a brand show and gained the recognition of the industry home and abroad.
