Point-of-Use Water Treatment Is a $14 Billion Market, Booming in the Developing World
Though Growth Is Slowing in Mature Markets, Smart Strategies and Unique Products Can Tap Sky-High Growth Rates in Emerging Economies, Says Lux Research
(firmenpresse) - BOSTON, MA -- (Marketwired) -- 07/30/13 -- Product differentiation and innovation are key in targeting the $14 billion market for point-of-use (POU) and point-of-entry (POE) water treatment products in developing nations, some of which will grow at an annual rate of nearly 20%, according to .
Overall, the market is growing at a modest 2.2% annually as countries such as China and South Korea reach maturity. But poorer countries such as Bangladesh and Myanmar offer remarkably high annual growth rates of up to 19%.
"Small-scale POU and POE systems represent a massive market, but one that requires long-term strategy and differentiation to break through," said Brent Giles, Lux Research Senior Analyst and the lead author of the report titled, "."
Lux Research analysts evaluated the major markets, estimating each country's market size and growth through 2030. They also analyzed 28 start-ups in the space on the Lux Innovation Grid based on their Technical Value and Business Execution. Among their findings:
China and India will dominate the markets till 2030, but the fastest growth will occur in the poorest countries such as Bangladesh and Myanmar. India still will grow at 9.3%, but China will slow as it shifts to a municipal treatment model.
Companies with unique technologies have an opportunity to enter POU and POE markets. Electrolytic Ozone offers $100 ozone generators with long-lived diamond-coated electrodes and Absorbent Materials Company offers a modified silica product that removes toxic organics from water -- both are rated "High-potential" on the Lux Innovation Grid.
Residential markets are highly commoditized and current leaders are vulnerable, because incumbent technologies such as activated carbon and reverse osmosis have significant limitations. Large markets will open to companies that can both develop superior performance and ease of use.
