SAN ANTONIO, Texas, June 28, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Verify Markets has released the "United States Water and Wastewater Analytical Instrumentation Market" report for 2012. The U.S. water and wastewater analytical instrumentation market was estimated to be over $320 million in 2011. The market is expected to show a steady growth through the forecast period (2011-2018).
The total U.S. conductivity instrumentation market was the second largest component of the total market in 2011. The conductivity instrumentation market is highly fragmented with several participants. Water reuse, environmental regulations, increasing labor costs, increased demand for automated smarter and simpler technologies are some of the key drivers for the online conductivity instrumentation market. Water reuse and recycling applications, oil exploration, and mining are some of the industries that have started using online continuous conductivity instruments in the recent years.
The Total Organic Carbon (TOC) instrumentation market was estimated to be over $15 million in 2011. Process control and increasing confidence among consumers are they key drivers for TOC instruments.
The total phosphorus and total nitrogen instrumentation markets are still in their infancy. Awareness of the benefits of the analysis is a huge driver. Hach Company emerged as the market leader in both these markets for the U.S. in 2011.
The total U.S. turbidity/suspended solids instrumentation market was estimated to be over $40 million in 2011. Legislation and process control are the key drivers in the total turbidity market. Some of the key players in the turbidity instrumentation market include Hach Company, Emerson Process Management, Endress + Hausser Inc., Mettler Toledo Inc., and Xylem Inc.
The total U.S. dissolved oxygen instrumentation market was valued close to the turbidity market in revenues in 2011. The pH market was the largest among all the segments for the total U.S. water and wastewater analytical instrumentation market. Environmental regulations are one of the key drivers for pH instruments.
This study captures market size estimates for online, as well as portable, instruments. It provides market drivers, restraints, pricing trends, market share analysis, distribution trends and quotes captured by key industry participants during the research process. The base year of the study is 2011 and revenue forecasts are provided until 2018. The instruments covered in the study include conductivity, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, total organic carbon, pH total phosphorus and total nitrogen.
