Introduction

Abstract

STUDY BACKGROUND

Over the past decade, BCC has published a number of analyses of the market for hazardous waste remediation materials and services. Some of the more recent reports are listed below under related BCC Research. However, since none of these reports was published more recently than 2002, BCC believes that an update is required in order to account for economic, regulatory, and technological developments over the past 4 years.

Earlier BCC studies of the hazardous waste remediation market have focused on the United States and other advanced markets. Other markets such as China, India, and Brazil are emerging as important potential hazardous waste remediation markets, and this report includes expanded coverage of such emerging markets.

REPORT GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

The overall goal of this report is to identify the most promising markets for hazardous waste remediation technologies during the 5-year period from 2006 through 2011.

• Characterizing the 2006 hazardous waste remediation market, in quantitative as well as qualitative terms.
• Describing existing and new remediation technologies that are under development to meet market requirements.
• Identifying segments of the hazardous waste remediation market with the greatest commercial potential in the near to mid-term.
• Identifying and where possible quantifying the major drivers of demand for hazardous waste remediation equipment, supplies and related services.
• Projecting future (2006 through 2011) demand for different types of hazardous waste remediation technologies.
• Analyzing the structure of the hazardous waste remediation industry, including number, size, and financial performance of firms

INTENDED AUDIENCE

This report is intended especially for providers of hazardous waste remediation technologies, supplies, and services. Other readers who should find the report particularly useful include:

• Entrepreneurs, investors and other members of the financial community with a need to know where these key segments of the environmental remediation market are headed over the next 5 years.
• Government environmental protection agencies.
• Nongovernmental environmental policy organizations.
• Members of academic, scientific and professional organizations that are concerned with preserving and enhancing environmental quality.

SCOPE AND FORMAT

The scope of this report includes the global market for all types of technology equipment, consumables and services) used to remediate hazardous wastes. Since the term “hazardous wastes” may be defined differently according to the market, BCC generally uses the Environmental Protection Agency's definition and lists of hazardous wastes, modified as appropriate and practical in the light of local market conditions.

• Executive summary
• Overview (definitions, types of hazardous wastes, remediation technologies)
• Patent analysis
• Global markets, 2005 through 2011
• Regulatory environment
• Industry structure

METHODOLOGY AND INFORMATION SOURCES

The findings and conclusions of this report are based on information gathered from a cross section of providers and end users of hazardous waste remediation technologies, materials and services, as well as other informed sources. Interview data were combined with information gathered through an extensive review of secondary sources such as trade publications, trade associations, company literature, and on-line databases to produce the baseline market estimates contained in this report.

With 2005 as a baseline, market projections for each market segment were developed for 2006 through 2011. The projections are based on a combination of a consensus among the primary contacts combined with our understanding of the key market drivers and their impact from a historical and analytical perspective. The analytical methodologies used to generate the market estimates are described in detail in the section on Detailed Market Projections. All dollar projections presented in this report are in 2005 constant dollars.
