NEW YORK. July 26 /PRNewswire/ — Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:

Research Overview

The environmental industry has taken centre stage in recent times and has been accorded top priority by governments in both developed and developing countries. Environment protection is the latest buzzword as nations’ Green consciousness has set off a spate of environment development activities, especially in advanced regions such as the European Union and more recently, the Middle East. Such efforts assume greater importance in the face of environment degradation brought about by accelerated economic development. With international agreements such as the Kyoto Protocol coming into force, even Middle Eastern countries such as Saudi Arabia have jumped onto the Green bandwagon. General economic policies greatly affect the environmental industry, and industry-specific policies, wherever effectively enforced, provide added thrust. The economy of the country plays a huge role in strengthening and boosting the industry with its effective trade ties and inflows of foreign direct investment (FDI). These factors are vital for the growth of the environmental industry. Social and infrastructural developments also provide support for the industry.

The environmental industry in Saudi Arabia is in its developing stages, but is expected to grow rapidly due to strong political impetus. Political stability during the next five years is likely to attract considerable investments in infrastructure and other development projects, which, in turn, could generate opportunities for the environmental industry. A liberal foreign investment policy will also strengthen the environmental industry. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia ‘ s economy has weathered the economic downturn well, thanks to its significant oil reserves. Budgetary allocations indicate a diversification into the non-oil sector, which is likely to strengthen the demand for pollution abatement equipment in industries such as construction. Simultaneously, initiatives such as technology parks and national science and technology policies will boost the technology sector in Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia is forecast to emerge as an R&D hub for environmental technologies. As the region is heavily dependent on desalination, the water segment of the environmental industry is especially primed for growth. Conducive demographic factors such as an expanding population base will also increase the demand for air pollution monitoring stations and services such as recycling. Improvements in environment-friendly and treatment technologies will contribute to the development of an advanced environmental industry.
