Aquatic Game Changer: The Internet of Water in Asia-Pacific--A CEO's 360 Degree Perspective
The Future of Water Industry--Tracking and Managing Water by Integrating Smart Solutions
NEW YORK, April 27, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The growing middle-class population in Asia-Pacific (APAC) will result in an increased demand for freshwater consumption. The region will account for more than 50% of the middle-class population globally by 2020 and 60% by 2030. Therefore, opportunities lie in the rehabilitation of old water facilities in the existing cities, and greenfield development in the new and upcoming cities. These conditions are compelling governments in different APAC countries to seek smart solutions for water conservation, treatment, and distribution. The smart water grid market in APAC is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate of 19.0% between 2014 and 2018.
Key Findings
