Severe Service Valve Sales to the Chemical Industry will be just under $4
Billion in 2017
Severe service valves are required for 56 percent of all the valve applications
in the chemical industry. The definition of severe service includes valves which
are subject to abrasion, corrosion, unusual pressures, or must be designed to
meet stringent safety, sanitation, or contamination requirements.
Severe service valves are required for 75 percent of the process applications.
Since the process segment accounts for 63 percent of all the valves sold to the
chemical industry, the process severe service valves account for 42 percent of
all the valves sold to the industry.
Water used for cooling requires virtually no use of severe service valves. Only
30 percent of the water intake valves are in the severe service category. About
half the wastewater valves are designed for severe service. These are valves
handling the slurry.
In 2017, the sales of severe service valves for processes will be just under $3
billion with the balance of $1 billion in the other three categories.
The percentages are based on revenues rather than amount of flow or the number
of valve units. While severe service valves will account for 56 percent of the
revenue, they will account for less than 30 percent of the flow and 20 percent
of the unit sales.
Details on these forecasts are included in N028 Industrial Valves: World Market
Decision Guides on severe service valve options are already available for
coal-fired power, gas turbine combined cycle power plants, nuclear plants and
molecular sieve switching in gas treatment.

Large Individual Projects and Multiple Small Projects by Large Treatment Plants
make Sales easier for Suppliers to North American Municipal Wastewater Plants
Ten percent of North Americas 20,000 wastewater plants buy the majority of the
flow control and treatment equipment purchased by wastewater treatment plants in
North America. Their large expansions and upgrades account for a majority of
capital expenditures. This allows the supplier to identify his prospects months
or years in advance of the actual sale. If the supplier is relying on quality
rather than price to sell his product, then the opportunity to shape the final
decision well in advance is critical.
An example of a large project is The Lions Gate Wastewater Treatment Plant in
Vancouver. It has been told by the federal government it must upgrade to
secondary treatment by December 31, 2020. The plant is one of two remaining
primary treatment plants in the region. New federal regulations require all
primary treatment plants be upgraded to secondary treatment. The cost will
exceed $2 billion. So this is a project which will involve contacts with the
city and A/E over the next two years in order to maximize order potential.
Some smaller projects are predictable long in advance due to new regulations or
outdated technology. Plants with lagoons for sludge dewatering are likely to be
considering changes. The City of Alliance, Ohio plans to build a dewatering
system. Its lagoons are full. Over the 20 year life of a new plant there is
economic justification for this investment. It is good to be alerted to specific
projects but, if you are selling dewatering equipment, you should be calling on
every plant with lagoons and every plant with 20 year old dewatering equipment.
One way to make sure that you thoroughly pursue the large opportunities is to
single out the largest prospects in each state. Here is a sample for Colorado:
Numeric by Flow Rate (MGD) Plant Name
40 Aqua Nueva Wastewater Treatment Plant
30 Pima County Wastewater Treatment Plant
17.5 Tolleson, City Of
14.74 Nogales International Wastewater Treatment Plant
102.24 Total
You can determine the market share for these plants as follows:
Wastewater Industry - Percent of U. S. Market by State

Alaska 0.24 0.24 0.25 0.25 0.25 0.26

Colorado 1.71 1.74 1.77 1.80 1.83 1.87
Idaho
In 2017, Colorados secondary municipal wastewater capacity will be 1.77 percent
of the total 40,000 mgd for the U.S. The top four plants have a total of over
100 mgd capacity which is 14.7 percent of the 680 mgd for the entire state.

Detailed Forecasting of Markets, Prospects and Projects
Air and Water Monitoring Market to grow to $28 Billion Next Year
In 2017 sales of water monitoring equipment and services will be $17 billion and
air monitoring services will be $11 billion. This is the latest forecast in N031
Air and Water Monitoring: World Market.
Asia will be the leading region followed by the Americas. Chinese sales will be
over $4 billion representing one-third of the entire Asian market.
Thermo Fisher has been in the Chinese air pollution monitoring business for
decades. By one definition it is said to have a 70 percent market share of
ambient air monitors used in Chinese cities. It sold its first mercury monitor
in China more than ten years ago. The Thermo decision to locate its air
pollution research center in China is testimony to confidence in its ability to
protect intellectual property in the country.
The monitoring business is a small part of the total Thermo business but has
contributed to the 10 percent annual increase in revenue over the last five
years. The EPS CAGR is an impressive 17 percent. Revenue growth has been 28
percent per year in China with sales of $1.4 billion last year.
The ambient market is growing fastest in developing countries where governments
are investing in networks. However, in the U.S. there is a significant market
for ambient networks purchased by power plants and industrial facilities which
have to address new federal standards as well as embryonic standards in various
states.

Asian Purchasers will drive the $5.6 Billion Cleanroom Hardware Market
In 2017, suppliers of cleanroom hardware will be paid over $5.6 billion by
semiconductor, pharmaceutical and other operators of cleanrooms around the
world. Over 2.3 million people will be working in cleanrooms. This is the latest
forecast in N6F World Cleanroom Markets.
East Asia will be the regional leader with three times the revenue in NAFTA.
This is due to the concentration of semiconductor, memory and flat panel display
manufacturing in the region. The NAFTA market share is mostly due to its leading
position in pharmaceutical manufacturing.
As of December 2015, Taiwan led all regions/countries in wafer capacity with
nearly 22 percent of worldwide IC capacity installed in the country. Taiwan
surpassed South Korea in 2015 to become the largest capacity holder after having
passed Japan in 2011. China became a larger wafer capacity holder than Europe
for the first time in 2010.
Mobile devices and wearable electronics are accounting for much of the cleanroom
growth. Gartner, Inc. forecasts that 274.6 million wearable electronic devices
will be sold worldwide in 2016, an increase of 18.4 percent from 232.0 million
units in 2015. Sales of wearable electronic devices will generate revenue of
$28.7 billion in 2016. Of that, $11.5 billion will be from smart watches.
