| Countries covered: China The objective of this report is to provide an overview of the Chinese market for wastewater treatment1, with focus on some key emerging Tier 2 city markets beyond already established Tier 1 cities such as Shanghai, Beijing, and Guangzhou2. Market overview. China continues to face severe water pollution and water scarcity problems. China generated 57.2 billion tons of wastewater in 2008; municipal wastewater and industrial wastewater account for 58% and 42% respectively. It is expected that total wastewater will continue growing due to rapid urbanization and industrialization, reaching 79 billion tons by 2015. The current wastewater treatment infrastructure is still inadequate (although many WWTP‟s3 operate under-capacity) and there will be continued construction of new facilities and upgrading of existing ones, resulting in a large demand for investment. However, competition for projects is fierce, from foreign companies that can provide advanced technology and management, as well as from domestic players, which can typically offer more competitive prices and in some cases comparable technology. Regulatory environment. China has recently stepped up its efforts to improve the regulatory framework for modern wastewater management, especially in the last decade. A range of regulatory and economic instruments are used (e.g. user charges for water services); however, local enforcement remains weak in many regions (e.g. low collection rates on water tariffs). The 11th Five-Year Plan (2006-2010) emphasizes the concepts of constructing a water-saving society and treating water pollution and this trend is expected to continue into the 12th Five-Year Plan (2011-2015). China has also stipulated relevant policies to encourage private and foreign investment in wastewater treatment facilities. Wastewater treatment industry in the Financial Crisis. In response to the world economic crisis, the Chinese central government announced an RMB 4 trillion stimulus package (funds injected from 2008 to 2010) to encourage infrastructure development. Nearly 50% of the funds are earmarked for infrastructure and related projects; RMB ~370 billion is earmarked for rural infrastructure including water supply and RMB ~350 billion is earmarked for environmental protection projects, including municipal water and wastewater treatment projects. |
