In 2012, the top three air and water monitoring suppliers generated revenue of $2.8 billion or 13 percent of the world total. However, their Asian revenues were only $578 million or 6 percent of the Asian market.

All three companies, along with most of the international suppliers, are targeting the Asian market for major growth. Thermo Fisher has established its main air pollution research center in China and has made substantial investment in the region. Because Asian countries tend to adopt international standards, there is an advantage for those suppliers who have been accredited in the U.S. or Europe. Emerson and Thermo Fisher are U.S. based and Endress + Hauser is a European company. These suppliers must compete against international suppliers home based in the developed Asian countries. Yokogawa and Horiba are major players in the international market.

Theinternational companies mustalso compete with rapidly growing domestic suppliers in China who are likely to expand beyond their own borders.  For more information on Air & Water Pollution Monitoring World Markets, click on: http://home.mcilvainecompany.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=106extsup1.asp
