  to $403 Billion in 2017 
  The 
  market for equipment, services and chemicals used in treating and controlling 
  liquids, indoor air, stack gases and process fluids will grow from $381 
  billion in 2012 to $403 billion in 2017. This is the latest forecast in the 
  McIlvaine online report: Fluid/Gas Treatment and Control Markets (www.mcilvainecompany.com). 
   
  The 
  market will grow at the rate of GDP plus 2 percent, so while GDP in NAFTA will 
  be just under 3 percent per annum, the 
  growth in the fluid/gas market will be close to 5 percent.

  West 
  Asia will see the largest percentage growth. East Asia will account for the 
  bulk of the revenue increases. This is due to the construction of power, 
  water, wastewater and other basic industrial plants.  
  The 
  reasons that this market will grow at a faster rate than GDP are: 
    
    ·        
    
    
    Increasing recognition of the scarcity of clean water for human consumption 
    ·        
    
    More 
    affluent populace who is capable and willing to clean up the wastewater to 
    minimize health threats and maximize recreational enjoyment 
    ·        
    
    
    Recognition of the necessity of removing fine particulate, heavy metals and 
    acid gases from industrial stack discharges 
    ·        
    
    
    Product and personnel requirements for clean in-plant air 
    ·        
    
    
    Recognition of the value in better purifying residential and commercial air 
    space. 
    ·        
    
    Growth 
    of clean space including semiconductors, biopharmaceuticals and other high 
    tech industries 
    ·        
    
    
    Increased investment in air and liquid purification by the healthcare 
    industry.
