Technologies for Air Pollution Monitoring, Prevention & Control
REPORT HIGHLIGHTS
The total global air pollution mitigation market was worth $59.3 billion in 2006 and will reach $83.5 billion in 2007. By 2012, the global market will be worth over $138 billion, a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.6%.
Air pollution prevention was by far the largest market sector throughout the forecast period. In 2007 the market will be worth almost $46 billion and will reach $75.9 billion by the end of 2012, a CAGR of 10.6%.
Air pollution control will be the fastest growing market throughout the forecast period. At a CAGR of 13.9% its value will reach $36.2 billion by 2012.
REPORT SCOPE
INTRODUCTION
Air pollution mitigation is a field that encompasses a wealth of technological innovation and a very large number of disparate companies. Entities that offer one limited type of air pollution mitigation device generally do not span multiple categories or offer a variety of applications. They remain with their highly specialized niche product offerings.
This field includes detection, prevention and control devices and associated innovations and processes. Because air quality is a highly regulated area, the air pollution mitigation product industry has grown rapidly over the course of several decades. This expansion is anticipated to become wider due to very recent environmental edicts worldwide, including aggressive air pollution cap targets recently adopted by California.
Because specific mitigation technologies are rather isolated, it is important to understand air pollution issues in a broader context that includes all mitigation categories as well as various applications and product categories. International air quality regulations vary widely, and companies that conduct business on a global basis must comply with local and regional air quality regulations, as well as other international standards set by organizations such as the ISO and the UNCCC.
This study explores the broader context of the air pollution mitigation market, its drivers and growth patterns and future anticipated market growth broken out in a variety of logically organized categories.
SCOPE OF STUDY
This report contains:
An overview of the air pollution mitigation industry, including definitions, historical information, market trends and growth patterns, and detailed information about market drivers
Current and forecasted data for the industry to 2012, detailing sectors such as detection, control, and prevention
A review of important technologies like noxious air monitors, gas and smoke analysis, non-dispersive infrared analyzers (NDIA), gas chromatography, ozone detection, and radiation meters
An analysis of important patents and company profiles.
INFORMATION SOURCES
BCC Research presents an analysis across the entire air pollution detection, prevention and control industry based on revenue dollars and units shipped as reported to the SEC and/or other governmental agencies. It also analyzes data gathered from various research sources derived from the Internet. These include large databases such as those available at the United States Patent Office (USPTO), Micropatent's searchable databases for U.S. and international patents and other IP issues, and the searchable database available from the European Patent Office.
On the subject of air pollution, there also were a number of readily available government and nonprofit research and information resources. All information contained within this report was independently verified to ensure consistency of information and accuracy.
Based on gathered industry revenue and expenditure information, BCC Research estimated a full year of air pollution detection, prevention and control industry market revenue including measured historical numbers and forecast revenues for 2007 to 2012. Also analyzed were air pollution detection, prevention and control by each product and technology application, according to reported market numbers.
BCC Research analyzed public documents, SEC filings, corporate white papers and other technical documentation for more than 125 companies directly involved in manufacturing, distributing or directly using air pollution detection, prevention and control technology products.
Additionally, BCC Research analyzed more than 3,370 utility patents filed in the U.S. and throughout the world as related to air pollution detection, prevention and control industry technology inventions. The sample was narrowed down to 2,770 patent documents that were analyzed more fully by category.
