Water Opportunities in India

The total Indian water market is estimated to be over $4 billion. While the government sector contributes above 50 percent, the private industrial sector provides the remaining business. The overall market is growing at 10-12 percent every year. The wastewater treatment market segment is highly fragmented and unorganized. Imports constitute approximately $110 million of the $690 million market for municipal and industrial water treatment equipment.

The Indian Wastewater Treatment Market Statistical data are unofficial estimates from trade sources *2009 figures are estimates Indian companies have limited capabilities and technology for the design of water treatment plants. There is a distinct opportunity for U.S. companies to offer technical consulting through contractual and/or joint venture arrangements.
