Environmental Monitoring in China industry analysis

The Environmental Monitoring industry in China has developed rapidly over the past five years due to continued capital investment and increasing public and government concerns about environmental pollution. As the government increasingly investments in environmental protection, industry revenue is expected to rise 7.3% in 2023 to $5.6 billion. Overall, revenue has increased an annualized 7.0% over the five years through 2023.Industry enterprises are mainly environmental engineering companies that offer environmental monitoring, pollution treatment, engineering construction and operations and environmental consulting services. Additionally, some financially independent subsidiary companies of government bureaus, research institutes and large industrial corporations that provide environmental monitoring services operate in the industry.The Chinese Government is introducing more commercial reform to the industry to deal with the capital shortage problem and improve efficiency. Environmental monitoring and testing are regarded as important complementary services to other businesses, such as environmental engineering, evaluation and consulting. However, market demand for industry services has expanded to people's everyday lives, such as monitoring services of indoor air, noise and light pollution. Additionally, the testing scope has expanded from water, air and traffic noise to indoor air, ecology, soil, solid waste, acid rain and radiation.In recent years, the Chinese Government has successively issued many supporting policies to continue to promote ecological environment monitoring and improve ecological environment monitoring capacity. Government supports can stimulate the development of Environmental Monitoring industry in China.The industry is forecast to increase an annualized 6.4% over the five years through 2028, to total $7.6 billion. Several factors will drive this strong industry growth, including an increasing number of environmental engineering projects across China, greater public and government attention to environmental issues, the transfer of business from government agencies to private and joint venture enterprises and improving technology.The industry will gradually open to foreign investors, as the entire environmental protection sector in China is subject to increasing globalization. More foreign capital and advanced technology and equipment will be introduced, which will benefit industry development.
