Industries consume significant volumes of water and are required to treat their wastes. Water demand maintains a direct relationship with investments; the more direct investments are made in the region, the more water and water services are likely to be needed.

Since local authorities are incapable of handling most solid waste material, this opens up opportunities for the private sector. The East African solid waste management market is undergoing a dynamic phase of change with the local authorities enforcing new legislation that also involves private investors.

As all of Europe switches over to more energy-efficient lighting technology, the mainstream compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs), halogen lamps and high growth, light emitting diodes (LED) lamps sectors will see steady growth rates in the years ahead Tue, 26 Jan 2010 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/press-release.pag?Src=RSS&docid=190711206 http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/press-release.pag?Src=RSS&docid=190218427 Like most markets, the Japanese building construction market took a hit during the economic downturn in 2008 and 2009. The market is likely to recover in 2010 with the introduction of Japan's supplementary budget that includes a stimulus package. However, it will make a slow progress with growth rates in the range of 1 to 2 percent, as the market is stable and heading toward saturation.

Landfill disposal and incineration do not find favor with governments as they create space and environmental problems, thus, countries are increasingly turning to waste to energy (WTE) as a single solution for the dual objectives of waste disposal and energy creation.
