United States

US environmental industry has shown the characteristics of a mature industry: Growth has slowed, peer competition, customer demand for diverse, intense price competition and reduce profits, corporate mergers frequently. US environmental companies (including state-owned and private enterprises), there are two forms: one is present on the history of public infrastructure companies, such as providing drinking water, wastewater treatment and waste management companies; Second, with the development of domestic environmental regulations and implementation of the rapid rise of business, the vast majority of private companies, mainly engaged in pollution control, pollution remediation business. This environmentally friendly system has greatly promoted the development of environmental protection industry in the United States.

Japan

Japan experienced an economic development has led to deteriorating environmental quality, and the emergence of many pollution incident, began to realize the importance of environmental protection, the Japanese government has therefore adopted a series of environmental protection measures, and achieved success. Japan Environment Agency to classify the environmental protection industry in the table below.

Currently, Japan's environmental industry has entered the stage of self-development guide the market mechanism. Nearly three decades, Japan's environmental policies, guidelines, environmental law, environmental standards and other measures to continue to strengthen, resulting in the environmental industry, green cleaning and consumption began to rage. Environmental industry shift from a particular type of industrial pollution of all industries, from the need to go to the official civilian needs, the radiation from the city to the various regions, the market size has been expanded.

Wastewater treatment and solid waste disposal the most investment value & nbsp; 2010 年 10 月 15-18, the Fifth Plenary Session of the Seventeenth CPC Central Committee considered the national "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" strategic emerging industries. We interpret the meeting announcement believes that the Government's determination and implementation of energy conservation target completely exceeded market expectations, and environmental protection industry will get an unprecedented policy and funding support. Environmental protection industry is expected to be the introduction of relevant policies, which will hopefully inspire a new round of environmental protection market.

In the field of environmental protection industry, sewage treatment and solid waste disposal the most investment value. Specifically, the upstream industry chain is environmentally friendly environmental protection equipment manufacturing, environmental protection infrastructure construction midstream and downstream is environmentally friendly infrastructure operations. Environmental technology and process barriers upstream industry is relatively high, high return on investment in downstream industries, prone to explosive growth of the company. ROI downstream industry will be limited trade policy, a major investment opportunity lies in mergers and acquisitions. We believe that the wastewater treatment and solid waste treatment and environmental protection industry is the most investment value of the sub-sector, industrial wastewater treatment investment opportunities in the upstream industry chain, sewage treatment investment opportunities in the downstream, solid waste disposal in the whole industry chain has investment opportunities.

From an investment point of view, we recommend choosing investment targets from the following three aspects: ⑴ have greater performance flexibility, may exceed the valuation of the company's space constraints; ⑵ driven by the subject matter, can stimulate the hot market companies; ⑶ performance of steady growth, by macroeconomic and market environment of smaller companies.[7] 

Feature

1. Policy-driven industries, from environmental standards, regulations and environmental objectives-driven industries such as: S02 10% reduction of binding targets, led to the development of desulfurization industry; standard thermal power plant NOx, controlled at 100 or 200, directly with the catalyst industry related.

2. The dependence of industrial development with environmental protection laws and regulations, pollution prevention and environmental protection objectives and focus on ecological protection determines the direction of development of environmental protection industry; environmental technology policy and various environmental standards, specifies the technical requirements for pollution prevention and control the type and level of control of pollutants, which determines the direction and level of environmental protection industry technology needs; environmental enforcement and environmental protection into a direct impact on the actual needs of the market environment.

3. with industry, environmental protection industry is to meet the public property of environmental needs, solve environmental problems target-oriented industries is to prevent pollution and improve the ecological protection of the resource base to provide material and technical support in the industry.

4The association between the level of environmental protection industry development level of industrial development and environmental protection goals determine environmental goals can be achieved.

9 significance

2. The lack of innovation in enterprises as the mainstay of environmental technology innovation system is not perfect, Combination is not tight enough, inadequate investment in technology development. Some of the core technology is not yet fully grasp some key equipment imported. Market is not standardized, local protection, low-cost low-quality vicious competition phenomenon is particularly serious, pollution heavy construction, light management, low compliance rate of operation of the facility. Structure is irrational, smaller enterprises, lower industry focus, the proportion of low environmental services, full-service system has not been established. Policy mechanisms are inadequate, limited tax incentives related to environmental protection industry incentives, lack of guidance, inadequate laws and regulations, lack of execution, lack of capital investment, corporate finance difficult.
