Analysis of the Market Status and Development Prospects of the Water Environment Treatment Industry in 2018

The market space for township sewage treatment is huge

For a long time, sewage treatment has been an important topic in water environment management. In recent years, with the strengthening of the national environmental protection concept, the construction of sewage treatment infrastructure in China has become increasingly perfect, but compared to the huge demand for sewage treatment, it is still slightly insufficient. Especially the sewage treatment rate in townships is still at a relatively low level, and there is huge room for improvement in the future.

The construction of sewage treatment infrastructure is steadily advancing, but the problem of "heavy factories and light networks" is still prominent

China is facing serious water pollution problems, and sewage treatment has always been an important component of water environment management. From the perspective of sewage treatment infrastructure construction, on the one hand, the number of sewage treatment plants has been increasing year by year. In 2017, the number of urban sewage treatment plants in China increased to 2209, a year-on-year increase of 8.3%, with a significant increase in growth rate. It is expected that the number of sewage treatment plants will increase to over 2300 by 2018.

On the other hand, in the past three years, the length of urban drainage pipelines has accelerated. In 2017, the length of urban drainage pipelines in China increased to 630000 kilometers, with a year-on-year growth rate of 9.3%. It is expected that the length of drainage pipelines will exceed 700000 kilometers by 2018.

However, for a long time, China has attached great importance to the construction of urban sewage treatment plants, but has not given enough attention to the pipeline network, resulting in low efficiency and low influent concentration in the current sewage collection system. The problem of "heavy plants and light networks" is still prominent. In 2018, through statistics on more than 5000 sewage treatment plants under national environmental supervision and supervision, it was found that nearly 60% of the sewage plants had COD influent concentrations below 150mg/L. Low concentration sewage squeezed the treatment capacity of sewage treatment plants and wasted a large amount of local government sewage treatment costs. Therefore, while the number of sewage treatment infrastructure construction in China is increasing, more attention should be paid to the sewage treatment effect of sewage treatment facilities, especially to improve the efficiency of sewage collection in drainage pipelines.

The urban sewage treatment rate continues to improve, but there is still huge room for improvement in towns and villages

In addition, although the construction of sewage treatment infrastructure is increasingly improving, it is still far from enough in terms of the broad demand for water pollution control. Taking urban sewage discharge as an example, since 2010, China's urban sewage discharge has been increasing year by year, reaching 49.239 billion cubic meters in 2017, a year-on-year increase of 2.5%. It is expected that the sewage discharge will exceed 50 billion cubic meters in 2018.

From the perspective of sewage treatment rate, although the amount of urban sewage discharge continues to increase, the growth rate of urban sewage treatment is faster than that of sewage discharge. Therefore, in recent years, China's sewage treatment rate has been rising year by year. In 2017, the urban sewage treatment rate has increased to 94.5%, and it is expected to reach over 95% by 2018. However, overall, the urban sewage treatment capacity still cannot meet the demand for urban sewage treatment, and there is still room for further improvement in sewage treatment capacity.

With the acceleration of urbanization in China and the increasing demand for sewage treatment in many villages, towns, and county towns, higher requirements will be placed on the national sewage treatment capacity in the future. According to data from the Ministry of Housing and Urban Rural Development, in 2017, the sewage treatment rate in townships was only 17.19%, far lower than the sewage treatment rate of over 90% in cities and counties. In addition, according to the new "Water Pollution Prevention and Control Law of the People's Republic of China" implemented on January 1, 2018, the state promotes centralized treatment of rural sewage and supports the construction of rural sewage. Local governments at all levels should coordinate the planning and construction of rural sewage and garbage treatment facilities. It can be expected that rural sewage treatment will be one of the important development directions of water governance in the future, and the rural sewage market is expected to gradually release, with huge development space in the future.

In fact, with the acceleration of China's urbanization process, the investment in water pollution control projects led by government investment can no longer meet the growing demand for water treatment. These factors have led to the rapid opening up of urban water market, which will be a great opportunity for water pollution control enterprises to enter the market. It is worth mentioning that water pollution control companies that want to participate in rural sewage treatment business will be largely constrained by funding issues. Due to the large investment scale of water pollution control projects, it is necessary to use PPP and other models to form a comprehensive coverage of the industrial chain, which can also help participating enterprises extend their business. This model will become the mainstream in the future.
