March 31, 2006—Research by Frost & Sullivan, a global growth consulting company, shows that the purchase of industrial water recycling and reuse equipment is likely to increase tremendously in the next five to ten years due to the intensifying global water shortage, especially in Southern Europe and the Middle East.
The shortage is also leading to ever-tightening legislation, causing participants to consider more onsite water solutions to avoid rising water supply and effluent discharge costs.
Both industry participants and end users recognize the use of effective water recycling solutions and reuse equipment as a long-term measure to ensure improved quality of life. However, because of the current low cost of water and high cost of onsite solutions, “the current end-user trend is to implement lower-cost water recycling solutions and reuse equipment for the moment and later upgrade to better equipment and solutions,” says Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Emily Giddings.
Frost & Sullivan advises vendors of water reuse equipment to make available recycling solutions in a sector-specific, user-friendly package, such as material reclaim functionality for the pulp and paper or microelectronics sectors. F&S also advises manufacturers to design solutions to meet future regulatory and business development requirements.
