World Water and Wastewater Treatment Chemicals Business to exceed $30 billion by 2019

Revenues for water and wastewater treatment chemicals are projected to increase to over $30 billion by 2019.  This is the latest forecast in N026 Water and Wastewater Treatment Chemicals: World Market. (www.mcilvainecompany.com)

World Water and Wastewater Treatment Chemicals Market ($ Millions)

 Municipal water treatment plants will be the largest market. The world’s naturally purified drinking water sources are shrinking while demand is increasing. Countries around the world are turning to contaminated sources.  This requires substantial investments in water treatment chemicals.

Municipal wastewater plants will be the second largest market. Requirements range from disinfectants to polymers to separate sludge.  Many countries are installing secondary wastewater treatment plants.  By 2019 world secondary wastewater treatment capacity is expected to exceed 170,000 million gallons per day.

The third largest market is power.  Power plant cooling requires chemicals to prevent scaling of tower internals.  Boiler feedwater must be ultrapure.  The continuing expansion of coal-fired power generation in Asia will boost this segment of the market.  Zero liquid discharge requirements in Europe and the U.S. will also provide a stimulus.

AMERICAS

United States

Real gross domestic product (GDP) edged down 0.2% at an annual rate in the first quarter of 2015, according to the third estimate from the Bureau of Economic Analysis. This report reflects an upward revision of 0.5 percentage point to overall GDP growth. The slower first quarter follows a solid increase of 3.6% at an annual rate during the second half of 2014. Over the past four quarters, GDP rose 2.9%. First-quarter growth was likely affected by a number of transitory factors including unusually severe weather, the West Coast ports dispute, and various measurement issues. A decline in net exports was another important contributor to weak GDP growth. Indeed, net exports subtracted nearly 2 full percentage points from quarterly GDP growth. Furthermore, structures investment subtracted about 0.6 percentage point from GDP, reflecting reduced oil drilling in the wake of last year’s decline in oil prices. Despite the decrease in GDP, real gross domestic income—an alternate measure of economic output—increased 1.9% at an annual rate in the first quarter.

The upward revision to first-quarter GDP was spread across many components of economic output. Personal consumption expenditures contributed 0.2 percentage point to the upward revision with improvements in estimates of both goods and services consumption. Private investment contributed another 0.3 percentage point with a mix of small upward revisions to structures investment, intellectual property investment, inventories, and residential investment. State and local government investment contributed the remaining 0.1 percentage point to the upward revision. Exports and imports saw offsetting revisions, leaving net exports essentially unrevised on balance. (The remaining text is not included in this sample.)

ASIA

Hong Kong

The University of Hong Kong has downgraded its estimate for the city's economic growth to 2% in the second quarter of this year from 2.4% previously because of poor external demand and economic turmoil overseas.

The Apec studies program of the Hong Kong Institute of Economics and Business Strategy at the university also blamed the city's possible slower growth on the long-lasting effects of a stronger US dollar, to which the Hong Kong dollar is pegged.

With the uncertainty of mainland China's slowdown, the delayed resolution of Greece's debt crisis and the uncertain timing of a much talked about rise in interest rates in the United States, Hong Kong's economy is expected to grow moderately this year, the university said.

It predicted economic growth would taper off further to 1.7% in the three months to September 30, from the same period last year.

For the full year, it expected the city's real gross domestic product to grow 2%- below the 2.5% for last year but within the government's prediction of a 1 to 3% rise. (The remaining text is not included in this sample.)

EUROPE / AFRICA / MIDDLE EAST

United Kingdom

The Office of Budget Responsibility (OBR) has revised downwards its forecast of UK gross domestic product (GDP) growth in 2015 to 2.4%.

This is slightly lower than the OBR's previous forecast, made in March, of 2.5% GDP growth in 2015. Chancellor George Osborne blamed lower forecasts on slower global growth, in his Budget statement.

The OBR's forecast for 2016 was unchanged at 2.3%.

'The UK is growing faster than any other advanced economy,' he said, in the first wholly Conservative Budget since 1996.

He also said that current budget deficit as a percentage of GDP is expected to be reduced to 3.7% this year and 2.2% in 2016/17. It was 10.2% of national income in 2010.

'Britain has turned the corner and left the age of irresponsibility behind,' he said.

He predicted that a current budget deficit surplus would be reached by 2019/20. (The remaining text is not included in this sample.)
