Frost & Sullivan: Strict Legislation on Industrial Wastewater Discharge in the F&B Industry Raise Demand for WWWT Solutions PR Newswire KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Oct. 8, 2012 - Companies seek to offset the green/ carbon reduction initiative against the high investment cost KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Oct. 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The higher purchasing power and superior lifestyle of the growing middle class, particularly in emerging countries such as Vietnam and Indonesia, are expected to give a boost to the food and beverage manufacturing industry in the Asia Pacific. This translates to significant opportunities for the water and wastewater treatment (WWWT) solutions market. New analysis from Frost & Sullivan (http://www.environmental.frost.com), Water and Wastewater Treatment Solutions in Food and Beverage Industry, finds that the market earned revenues of US$744.3 million in 2011 and estimates this to exceed US$1.18 billion by 2016. The rising demand for high-purity water in the food and beverage industry and tough legislation on industrial wastewater discharge bodes well for the WWWT solutions market. In addition, the growing pressure on businesses to reduce their water consumption coupled with the escalating costs of water has necessitated wastewater recycle and reuse. As potable water is a key ingredient and medium in food processing, there is substantial demand for cost-effective technologies for producing high-purity water.
