A Growing Trend in Japanese Investment Signals a Huge Market for Water Filtration

There is good news for ceramic water filter manufacturers. A recent Forbes news story reports that trading in Japan seems to indicate that the global water market could surpass $1 trillion by 2025. The nation’s sic largest trading companies are all vying for water supply and sewage treatment contracts, signaling an aggressive shift toward clean water assets.

As water shortages become more of a global phenomenon, the demand for clean drinking water will skyrocket. Presently, the World Health Organization estimates that more than 900 million people around the world lack adequate, safe drinking water. That number will only increase without a ramped up global water purification and desalination effort.

This is great news for makers of water filtration, purification, and desalination products. Large investment companies and governments are eager to invest in resources and develop infrastructure to handle the growing need for clean water. The article goes on to speculate that in some instances, makers of cutting-edge ceramic water filtration technology may go on to function as plant operators rather than merely as equipment and parts suppliers.
