· Municipal Water and Wastewater Pump Sales Will Exceed $14 Billion This Year

· World Municipal Wastewater Projects Monthly Update Headlines - February 2014

· North American Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants Update Headlines – January 2014

Operators of municipal drinking water plants and wastewater treatment plants will spend $14 billion for new pumps in 2014. This is the conclusion reached in Pumps World Market published by the McIlvaine Company. (www.mcilvainecompany.com)

More than 50 percent of the municipal sales will be in Asia. This is due to the large infrastructure expansion which is, in turn, a function of the rural to city migration patterns. The oil, gas and refining industries will spend more than $4 billion this year. This is one of the few sectors where the U.S. growth will be robust. Certain of the pumps used for hydraulic fracturing are still in short supply.

The power sector sales will be primarily in Asia due to the construction of coal-fired power plants. New gas turbine capacity in the U.S. with pumps for inlet fogging, condensate cooling, boiler feedwater treatment and even zero liquid discharge will create a substantial market as well.

Pump expenditures in the chemical industry will be up this year in all regions. In Asia, the expenditures will be related to the desire to build chemical plants near the consumer. In the U.S., a number of new chemical plants are underway due to the low cost of energy. Europe, on the other hand, will not benefit from either increased consumer demand or low energy cost.

Pumps for semiconductor and pharmaceutical applications must be manufactured from materials which will not contaminate the liquids being transported. The big market for pumps for ultrapure water in semiconductor applications will be in Taiwan, Japan, China, Japan and South Korea.

While 2013 didn't exactly go out with a roar, it put in a solid showing. According to the advance report by the Bureau of Economic Analysis, real gross domestic product grew at an annual rate of 3.2% in the fourth quarter. Against a 4.1% annual rise in the third, this marked the best back-to-back quarterly performance in nearly two years…(The remaining text is not included in this sample.)

India’s economic growth is likely to accelerate 5.6% in 2014-15 from the projected growth of less than 5% in the current fiscal ending March, according to economic think-tank NCAER.

For the current financial year the country’s gross domestic product (GDP) growth is expected to remain in the range of 4.7 to 4.9%, the National Council of Applied Economic Research (NCAER) said in a report. (The remaining text is not included in this sample.)

China

China's economy grew at a faster pace last year than the government's official target, even as Beijing sought to implement painful economic reforms.

Gross domestic product grew by 7.7% in 2013 over the previous year, according to China's National Bureau of Statistics, a performance that matched the median estimate of a CNN Money survey. Full-year expansion was supported by 7.7% growth in the final quarter of the year, beating the survey forecast of 7.6% by a whisker. (The remaining text is not included in this sample.)

Indonesia's economy likely grew less than 6% in 2013, marking its slowest pace of growth in four years, as the end of a commodity boom hit exports and a widening current account deficit undermined investor confidence. (The remaining text is not included in this sample.)

EUROPE / AFRICA / MIDDLE EAST

Mozambique

Mozambique’s mineral-rich economy, one of the Africa’s fastest growing, will expand by 8.1% in 2014 and about the same in 2015, but could achieve higher growth rates if ageing railways to export coal are improved, the central bank governor said. 9The remaining text is not included in this sample.)

Spain

While the rest of Spain's economy is either stagnant or in decline, a new report shows that the so-called submerged economy is booming and accounted for 24.6% of GDP in 2012, 6.8% higher than in 2008. (The remaining text is not included in this sample.)

United Kingdom

The UK economy grew 0.8% in quarter ended in January, according to data provided by NIESR following 0.7% growth in the quarters ended in December, November and October. (The remaining text is not included in this sample.)
