According to the China Water Desalination Plants Market Forecast & Opportunities 2017 report, the desalination market in China size has doubled in the last three years, as a result of high levels of pollution, increasing population, industrialisation and urbanisation, shortage of rainfall and never ending demand for fresh water. Water is extremely scarce in Northern China but abundant in Southern China. In northern China reservoir levels have fallen 11% compared to the same period last year.
Other drivers for this growth have been the country’s enormous industrial and economic growth. The industrial demand of desalinated water has contributed the most and same trend is anticipated in the future. The outlook for the water desalination market in China seems very promising as the water scarcity is increasing, and the industry in China will grow rapidly if the water is priced considering all reasonable aspects.
