Your Catalyst to a Lucrative Business
Asia Pacific is expected to witness the fastest growth over the forecast period on account of increase in
production and sales of ballast water treatment systems owing to increase in trade of automotive
machinery & equipment, cosmetics, food & beverages, building & infrastructure materials, medical &
healthcare, and mining equipment. The region has witnessed an increase in ocean freight volumes from
various countries such as China, India, and South Korea.
The market is expected to grow on account of increasing demand for ballast water treatment systems in
containers, ships, dry bulk carriers, tankers, and general cargos. Container ships dominated the global
BWTS market in 2016 and are expected to grow at an above average CAGR of 25.2% over the projected
period. Increasing trade activities among various regions on account of lower transportation costs, free
trade agreements, and globalization is expected to result in augmenting the demand for container ships.
Companies are actively looking for new ballast water treatment projects alongside investing in R&D to
enhance technology. In July 2015, Wärtsilä won the largest retrofit contract for ballast water management
systems. This has been one of the major retrofit contracts so far issued for ballast water management
system solutions. Other prominent players in the market such as Xylem Inc., Evoqua Water Technologies
LLC, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, and Alfa Laval AB are investing considerably in the ballast water
treatment systems market.
