Global Ballast Water Treatment Market To Reach Nearly $8.5 Billion By 2018

Shipping is used to move more than 80% of the world’s commodities and transfers three to five billion metric tons of ballast water every year. Ballast water is essential to the safe and efficient operation of shipping, but also poses serious ecological, economic and health threats due to the inadvertent transfer of invasive aquatic species. A steadily improving global economy, existing and pending governmental legislation, as well as stringent regulation on local and regional levels will shape tremendous growth in this market over the next five years.
