Due to the frequent appearances of massive pollutions and the enhancing public awareness, environmental issues have become the hottest topic in recent years in China. But in fact, China has been taking action on environmental protection for many years, especially in recent 5 to 10 years. Policies, legislations are continuously published to support the treatment of pollutant and the development of environmental related sectors; financial schemes are designed to ensure the efficient operation of environmental market; Innovation and technology development are encouraged to backup the treatment of pollutant.

Water, as one of the most important but heavily polluted natural elements in China, is the crucial parts in this environmental protection movement. During the past five-year plans, great progress has been made in water sector, water supply has covered almost the entire country and over 90% of the wastewater has been treated. However, along with the rapid economic growth and industrialization speed, pollutions have increased much faster than expected, which bring new challenges for wastewater treatment.

Moreover, industrial wastewater has certain characteristics that make the challenges even greater. For example, industrial wastewater normally has more complex components and the components vary from industry to industry, which require specific and professional treatment with more customized scheme. These characteristics would shape the industrial wastewater treatment and its market in a different way from the municipal wastewater treatment. During the development history of industrial wastewater treatment, it can be generally divided into two stages. The first stage is until the end of the 11th Five-Year Plan, aiming at “treat to meet the minimum requirement”. The second stage is from 12th Five-Year Plan till now, it looks for higher level on industrial wastewater treatment, and simply to meet the minimum ones is not enough.

This report is complied at the beginning of the second Five-Year Plan in the new stage. The development features and trends have already shown the traces. In order to figure out these features and the internal and external driven powers of the industrial wastewater treatment and its market in the new stage, Umore Consulting has collected and analyzed multiple data, research report and case studies in this sector, and tries to draw a comprehensive picture on the wastewater treatment market in China. The analysis of this research will be conducted through the following four steps. Firstly, a brief introduction on the current situation of the industrial wastewater treatment and its market in China will be given to outline the sketch; secondly, legislation and policy framework in this sector will be collated and listed to show the development process and future trend in this sector; thirdly, innovation and technology trends will be analyzed to figure out the future emerging technology market; lastly, typical companies specialized in this sector would be analyzed as case studies to show the development pattern and the real situation of the industrial wastewater treatment market in China.
