McIlvaine provides primary forecasts for the following countries and sub regions:

The forecasts for the “Other” Mideast segment are an aggregate for the following countries:

  • Afghanistan
  • Armenia
  • Bahrain
  • Cyprus
  • Gaza Strip
  • Jordan
  • Kuwait
  • Lebanon
  • Oman
  • Qatar
  • West Bank
  • Yemen

More money will be spent for fabric filters than any other category. These filters are used in cement plants and many other industries. Scrubbers, adsorbers and thermal oxidizers are used in refining and oil and gas extraction.

Flue gas desulfurization expenditures will be primarily in Turkey where there is a concentration of coal-fired power.
