Tuesday 30 October 2012, Amsterdam

The lead analyst of the global desalination report commented that ‘Desalination is a growing market for both governments and the private sector, as water scarcity becomes an ever more pressing issue in many regions of the world. While the prolific growth in the desalination market forecast a few years back is no longer expected, population and industrial growth will still drive demand for purified water. Desalination projects remain a priority for economic growth particularly in arid or densely populated regions.’

The report contains 158 tables, charts and graphs that add visual analysis in order to explain developing trends within the desalination market. The report provides forecasts for the period 2012-2022 in terms of value (US$) for the global desalination market, breaking this down into five submarkets (Reverse & Forward Osmosis, Multi Stage Flash, Multi Effect Distillation, Electrodialysis & Electro deionisation, as well as Alternative & Hybrid Desalination Technologies). In addition, 7 regional desalination markets are forecast and analysed over the period 2012-2022 and major desalination projects in 36 of the biggest national markets are reported. The report provides profiles of 46 leading companies operating within the market, and includes 4 interviews with principal desalination companies, providing expert insight alongside analysis.

The Global Desalination Market 2012-2022 will be of value to current and future potential investors into the desalination industry, as well as companies and research centres who wish to broaden their knowledge of the Global Desalination market.
