Over 50 years of combined experience in water technology events
Since the very first Aquatech trade fair in Amsterdam in 1964, the brand has gone from strength to strength. Aquatech events have been successfully held in South America, South East Asia, China and North America (in partnership with the Water Quality Association). Aquatech India is the newest addition to the series of water technology trade shows. Water Asia will be incorporated into Aquatech India. Water Asia was introduced in 1997 and has since developed into India’s’ leading water event. Utilising the critical mass and experience provided by Water Asia, and working in close consultation with the worldwide Aquatech client base, Aquatech India will be developed by the industry for the industry.
Rapid economic growth + limited water resources = unprecedented opportunity for the water sector
With its many challenges and strong ambitions, India is one of the fastest growing markets in the world. India is the world’s largest democracy with a population of 1.2 billion, an economy growing at a annual rate of 8 percent and a highly skilled work force fluent in two main languages (Hindi and English). India has a vision that come 2020 it will be one of the world’s top five economic superpowers, and the way the country deals with water will be central if this goal is to be attained. Faced with a backdrop of water scarcity, a ‘failed’ monsoon can be disastrous for food crops. India has 16 percent of the world’s population, 2.5 percent of the land mass and just 4 percent of the water resources.
Government and industry alike are recognising the challenges these figures represent and are acting with urgency. This is expected to fuel a Compound Annual Growth Rate in the region of 15 percent over the coming years. Investment will cover many areas, including the more efficient use of water in agriculture, improvements in infrastructure, and the transportation of drinking and waste water. New desalination plants will be required, out-of-date facilities have to be rebuilt, smaller decentralised systems created and water treatment systems developed in the commercial and industrial sectors. The opportunities for you and other international players are self evident.
