Research and Markets: Significant Sludge Treatment and Disposal Opportunities in China

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/d4b2ba/significant_sludge) has announced the addition of Frost & Sullivan's new report "Significant Sludge Treatment and Disposal Opportunities in China" to their offering.

Sewage sludge treatment and disposal is far behind the development of wastewater treatment in China. Majority of the sludge is not properly treated and caused various environmental incidences and public health and sanitation issues. From 2011 on, China's 12th five year plan (2011-2015) puts sludge treatment and proper disposal as one of the key priorities in the environmental protection industry with favorite policies and guidelines for technology and engineering providers to tackle the market. The market is expected to welcome its golden development period for the next ten years.

This Frost & Sullivan research service titled Significant Sludge Treatment and Disposal Opportunities in China describes the market growth potential, opportunities and trends in two vertical markets and four segments in each vertical market. In this study, Frost & Sullivan's expert analysts thoroughly examine the following market sectors: sludge treatment (thickening, digestion, drying and dewatering) and sludge disposal (incineration, compost, landfilling and building material).

Market Overview

Recent Legislation to Create Growth Opportunities in the Chinese Sludge Treatment and Disposal Market

Sewage sludge treatment lags far behind the development of wastewater treatment in China. The environmental impact of the improper treatment of sludge has gained the attention of the Chinese government, which is determined to implement strategies to deal with this situation in the next ten years. The national 12th five-year plan (2011-2015) makes sludge treatment and disposal one of the government's development priorities. Healthy growth is expected, and the market is likely to be five times the size it was in 2010 by the end of the forecast period, presenting exciting opportunities for technology suppliers.

Downstream Value Chain Needs to Recoup Investments in Sludge Treatment Facilities over the Long Term

The lack of exemplary policies on sludge treatment fees, which will guide local wastewater treatment authorities in levying a reasonable charge on the public for the cost of sludge treatment remains a key challenge. This lack of regulatory and financial support is the primary restraint for participants entering the Chinese sludge treatment market, says the analyst. Systematic protocols are needed to regulate solution adaptation and technology transfer, as well as to eventually increase the rate of effective sludge treatment and disposal.
