How has industrialization in Asia, Africa, and other developing regions influenced consumer awareness regarding water pollution and the need for microbiological testing?
The microbiological testing of water market solutions is expected to grow most rapidly in the emerging economies. Compared to Europe and North America, the Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Latin American countries are untapped markets for companies that provide solutions for microbiological water testing, and they have enormous growth potential.
The microbiological water testing sector has expanded because of rising population, globalisation, and awareness of the importance of clean water in developing countries. Additionally, the necessity for microbiological water testing emerges in some countries, such as India and Indonesia, due to inadequate sanitation and water supply. Most manufacturers of testing equipment, including Agilent Technologies, Shimadzu Corporation, and Thermo Fisher Scientific, have a presence in these developing nations. Increasing industrialization in developing nations has raised consumer awareness of water pollution and degradation.
Over the past few years, industrialization has increased in developing regions like Africa and Asia. Especially Asia, China, Japan, and India have made significant advancements in industrial growth. Hong Kong Korea, and Taiwan have become major exporters of textiles and other goods. The governments of several countries have launched several programmes, including “Make in India” by the Indian government and “Made in China 2025” by the Chinese government, to encourage the expansion of the manufacturing sector. These countries were able to advance their industrial development and raise public awareness of the importance of industrialisation for the economy due to these initiatives. This has led to the adoption of various water protection act, creating a significant market opportunity for microbiological water testing technologies.
