A recent report by Verify Markets indicates that the U.S. Water and Wastewater analytical markets are expected to show steady growth between 2011 and 2018. The market, already estimated at over $320 million in 2011, is expected to continue to grow largely due to factors including water reuse, environmental regulations, and labor costs associated with water management and wastewater management.
The pH market was the largest among the segments followed by the conductivity market. Other measured markets include Total Organic Carbon (TOC), turbidity and total phosphorus and total nitrogen, which are considered still in their infancy.
