INTRODUCTION
STUDY GOAL AND OBJECTIVES
This BCC 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 water and process water treatment; swimming pool and spa water disinfection; agriculture, aquaculture and 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 five years. The conclusions are illustrated with statistical information on markets, applications, industry structure and dynamics along with technological developments.
REASONS FOR DOING STUDY
This report is intended for those who require a thorough analysis of the industry that traces significant developments and forecasts important trends, quantifies the various market sectors and profiles companies active in those areas. Because of the fragmented nature of the industry, it is difficult to find studies that gather extensive data from diverse resources and analyze it in the context of a comprehensive document. This report contains a unique collection of information and conclusions that are difficult to find elsewhere.
INTENDED AUDIENCE
This comprehensive technical/marketing report aims to provide those interested in investment, acquisition or expansion into the market for ozone technology with specific, detailed information crucial to making educated decisions. Senior marketing personnel, venture capitalists, executive planners, research directors, government officials and suppliers to the industry who want to discover and exploit current or projected market niches should find this report of value. Readers who wish to understand how regulations, market pressures and technology interact in the arena also will find this study worthwhile.
SCOPE OF REPORT
This report examines the global market for ozone treatment in three major categories: water/wastewater disinfection/ozonation, air/gas purification and treatment, and medicine. Five-year projections are provided for market activity and value. Industry structure, technological trends, pricing considerations, research and development (R&D), government regulations, company profiles and competitive technologies are included in the study.
METHODOLOGY
Both primary and secondary research methodologies were used in preparing this study. 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. Values are given and forecasts are made in constant U.S. dollars; average annual growth rates are compounded.
Market values 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.
INFORMATION SOURCES
Information in this report was gleaned from many different sources. SEC filings, annual reports, patent literature, business, scientific and industry journals, government reports, census information, conference literature, patent documents, online resources and industry participants have all been researched.
