Market Overview
Chinese mainland
The Chinese government regards the environmental protection market as a pillar industry
in its 12th Five-Year Plan. Total investment in the sector is estimated over USD473 billion
within the period. The market is expected to grow at an annual compound rate of 15-20%,
with an industry output value of USD773 billion by 2015. Correspondingly, demand for
eco products, services and technology is anticipated to rise sharply.
Hong Kong
The Hong Kong government has been actively promoting the domestic green agenda.
These include a USD56.3 million funding scheme for building owners to conduct energycum-carbon audit, and enacting Building Energy Efficiency legislation this year so as to
reduce the greenhouse gas emission by 19-33%. Another USD37.5 million funding scheme
is launched to promote the use of electric vehicles. While the need to upgrade waste
treatment mechanisms and increase recycling rate are creating a strong demand for waste
management solutions and recycling technologies.
Eco Expo Asia 2012
Eco Expo Asia will enter its 7th year, with 269 exhibitors and around 8,463 trade
buyers/visitors attending in 2011. Below is a chart of the 2011 visitor demographic: (taken
