Global water market about to doubleThe water market is increasingly dynamic. Growing awareness of the importance of clean water and the necessity for integrated water resource management, stimulate the research and development

of new water technologies and the improvement of the existing technologies.

Aging water infrastructures need replacement, population growth demands expansion, higher standards for water quality trigger sophisticated treatment, and climate change will challenge the water sector to make water supplies more robust. The water sector has many challenges ahead.

The overall global water market topped the USD 350 billion in 2007 and is on its way to double in 2025. The annual growth is estimated at 5 -10 %. During the financial crises many hard hit countries speeded up the realisation of their planned water projects, for sake of employment.So on the short term the water market is expected to maintain its spectacular growth figures. In the long run this growth will continue, because water is vital for economic prosperity.

Integrated Aqua SolutionsNew: The world’smost stunning water projectsOrganised at the same time as Aquatech Amsterdam. This event showcases the world’s most stunning water engineering projects that are under construction or have recently been completed. Companies and organisations are invited to show these projects at a special stand on the exhibition floor, as well as with a presentation at the AquaStage.

“Aquatech Amsterdam is the ideal platform for us to meet the water industry professionals of Europe.”

3M Nederland B.V., A.C.M. Kroon,Senior Marketing Coordinator

Transition economies like China, India and Brazil experience this every day.

Aquatech Amsterdam reflects these latest developments in the water market, not only in regard to fast developing technologies like membrane filtration, energy saving desalination, UV-disinfection and water reuse, but also in regard to regions where investments in new water facilities are above average.

Focus on attracting high quality visitorsThe visitors for Aquatech come from all over the globe. In 2008 the trade exhibition attracted visitors from 48 countries, making it truly international. Months ahead of the event Amsterdam RAI will unroll a unprecedented global multimedia marketing campaign especially targeted at countries with great market potential. This includes the large markets that develop slowly, such as France, Germany,

the UK and the Netherlands. But it covers also the smaller markets that develop fast, for example in countries around the Mediterranean Sea and in Eastern Europe.Moreover, the global campaign will address water experts and utility managers in the industry. Specially on industrial segments that depend heavily on water, such as paper and pulp, food processing, beverage, chemical/petro chemical, pharmaceutical and textile.
