Japan leads the world in membrane water treatment technology. Currently, Japanese manufacturers have about a 60 percent share of the global water treatment membrane market. Japan's global market share of reverse osmosis membrane products, which are highly energy efficient but particularly challenging technically, is nearly 70 percent.
The water and wastewater treatment chemicals market is in a consolidation phase and is estimated to have a demand of $21 billion in 2015. While substitutes to chemical treatment and commoditisation of chemicals pose a threat to market growth, industrial and municipal demand due to regulations and environmental mandates are expected to facilitate moderate market growth during the forecast period.
