Profits in Monitoring Market Likely Due to China's Large Demand for Water Monitoring Products

The U.S. has great potential in benefiting greatly from China's necessity for water monitoring products. The market is already large and expanding rapidly due to issued laws with increasing severity of punishments. Most of the parameters that need monitoring in China are already covered by many U.S. designed water monitoring products. Specifically, the market in China for water monitoring system lies in water quality improvement, which has already started with the continuing online emissions monitoring equipment (CEM), an important part of China's plan to create an integrated water monitoring network. The Ministry of Environmental Protection (MEP) has also been active in the micro-managing of monitoring systems in China, beginning with the 11th Five Year Plan to reduce a major pollutant, COD, by 10%.  However, many other countries are starting to see the potential in this market that the U.S. has keyed into. Foreign as well as domestic suppliers have begun to see the likely profit in selling monitoring products to China, helping the market gain momentum. In order to keep up the profits in the coming decades, the U.S. will need to continue their high level of quality while finding ways of decreasing the cost.
