- Manufacturers to develop innovative, cost-effective,

environmentally-friendly solutions that meet increasingly stringent

legislative requirements

/PRNewswire/ -- The Central and Eastern European

municipal water and wastewater treatment chemicals market offers growth

opportunities for a range of chemicals. Demand will be propelled by intensifying

legislative pressure from the European Union, supported by government

funding, aimed at promoting environment-friendly, water- and energy-saving

technologies.

Analysis

of the CEE Municipal Water and Wastewater Treatment Chemicals

Market

, finds that the market earned revenues of euro 300.7 million in 2010

and estimates this to reach euro 613.4 million in 2017.

"Rising market needs, as well as financial support, mainly from the EU, will

create exciting growth potential for manufacturers of municipal water and

wastewater treatment chemicals," notes Frost & Sullivan Industry Analyst Anna

Jarosik. "Higher growth is expected in the wastewater treatment chemicals,

rather than the water treatment chemicals segment, due to increasing

investments into modernising and optimising wastewater treatment process,

plants, overall pipelines and their capacities."

Water- and energy-saving solutions related to the use of more effective

chemicals as well as technologies may reduce the amounts of water and

wastewater treatment chemicals used. However, this will not result in reduced

prices or lower revenues. Instead, multifunctional chemicals, advanced

equipment and technologies will facilitate growth, due to their enhanced

efficiency and productivity.

Currently, all types of chemicals used in the municipal water and wastewater

treatment segments are required to meet specific certifications regarding

safety, hygiene, and quality. In general, such requirements are likely to become

more stringent and encourage further improvements in all chemicals used by

municipal water and wastewater treatment plants.

"Population growth and urbanisation has resulted in heightened water

consumption, water re-use and further quality improvements even while

wastewater production has been rising rapidly each year," remarks Jarosik.

"This has created greater need for both water and wastewater treatment, and

thus for chemicals such as pH conditioners, coagulants, flocculants,

disinfectants and biocides plus scale and corrosion inhibiting agents, antifoam

as well as colour, odour and taste control chemicals."

The market, therefore, offers exciting growth potential for a range of
