This article reports that the current market for reverse osmosis (RO) membranes and system components is currently at $1.9 billion and is expected to rise at an average annual growth rate of 10.3% to more than $3 billion by 2010. The article cites this information from a report titled, “Major Reverse Osmosis System Components for Water Treatment: The Global Market” (report number RGB‐255R), which indicates that through 2010 current and future users are projected to add more than 2.5 bgd (9.5 GL/d) of RO capacity. The article continues with more facts from the report discussing the global RO market, how reduced costs have made the RO process more competitive with other water supply options, and contact information for obtaining a copy of the report.
