METHODOLOGY
After determining the major water and wastewater technologies that have the
greatest demand and potential for growth, we examined the world market to find
the greatest growth opportunities for these technologies. We evaluated each
country according to its overall water demand, population growth, domestic and
foreign competition, available financing and percent of the total market. Then
we conducted a detail analysis of the top five growth markets (China, India,
Mexico, Egypt and Australia) according to the determined technologies and
forecasted the growth for each.
