Abstract
INTRODUCTION
This Research technology market research report provides an in-depth analysis
of the global market for ozone technology across a range of applications
including wastewater, potable and process water treatment, swimming pool and
spa water disinfection, agriculture, aquaculture, hydroponics, laundry,
landfill leachate treatment, groundwater remediation, air and gas
purification, odor control, medicine, and homeland security. Technical and
market drivers are considered in evaluating the current worth of the
technologies and in forecasting growth and trends over the next 5 years. The
conclusions are illustrated with statistical information on markets,
applications, industry structure, and dynamics along with technological
developments.
SCOPE OF STUDY
This report contains:
- Descriptions of various types of ozone technologies, with current and
potential applications for each
- The current global market status of ozone technology, together with trends
and forecasts of growth over the next 5 to 10 years
- Technological issues, including the latest advances
- A discussion of driving forces in the ozone technology industry on a
global basis, including government regulations, research initiatives and
pricing considerations
- Profiles of ozone technology companies and a discussion of industry
alliances.
METHODOLOGY
A comprehensive literature, patent, and Internet search was undertaken and key
industry players were contacted. Growth rates were calculated based on
existing equipment sales and proposed sales during the forecast period.
Consumables used in competitive processes, such as replacement membranes,
resins, etc., were also taken into account. Values are given in U.S. dollars;
forecasts are made in constant U.S. dollars, and average annual growth rates
are compounded.
Market size estimates are based on estimated ozone generator sales and
predicted sales. Calculations do not include auxiliary gas contacting or
delivery equipment and do not include design or engineering costs. The capital
cost of ozone as applied to municipal and industrial-scale water treatment is
broken into four broad categories dependent on plant size as outlined in Table
15. Capital equipment cost for air and gas treatment systems is figured at
$300 for a residential unit and $800 for a commercial unit, medians calculated
by averaging prices from five different manufacturers. Medical ozone
generators are estimated to cost an average of about $1,000 based on data from
two manufacturers.
