The Cleantech Market
The Cleantech Market
The growing global economy is placing unprecedented demand on the world’s resources – energy, power, water, emissions, and raw materials – which in turn is becoming a critical challenge to economic growth and corporate profitability. Clean technologies address every aspect of the manufacturing and industrial life cycle: from the sourcing and acquisition of raw materials, through the optimization and efficient management of resources, to their ultimate recycling or disposal. The cleantech market opportunity also reaches into virtually every sector of the world economy. Some of the most notable cleantech markets include the world’s largest industries such as utilities, chemicals, transportation and manufacturing among others. Some estimates have quantified the annual world market for clean technologies at more than $200 billion, representing one of the fastest growing markets in the world.
