State by State Forecasts Needed by Suppliers of Flow Control and Treatment Products and Services

The market for flow control and treatment (N064 Air/Gas/Water/Fluid Treatment and Control: World Market) will be over $350 billion this year. The market has been segmented into 80 countries and sub regions. Some of the smaller countries account for less than 0.1 percent of the total.  By contrast, California accounts for 2 percent of the total.  So international suppliers need to segment the U.S. by region and, in many cases, by State. This is accomplished in a supplemental report, Analysis & Forecast by Industry & State.

The food segment provides an example. The U.S. flow control and treatment in the food industry represents more than 22 percent of the world total.  Expensive pumps and valves are needed to meet the sanitary requirements of food processors. Cross-flow membranes not only provide high purity water and clean wastewater but are concentrating liquids such as juices and corn syrups. Fabric filters are used not only for air pollution control but to capture product in hot gas streams e.g. coffee spray driers.

The U.S. will purchase two hundred and twenty times more food flow control and treatment products and services than Guatemala this year.

The state analysis segments each industry by state and aggregates it into nine regions.  California represents 10 percent of the U.S. food industry flow control and treatment market while the Pacific states account for more than 14 percent.

McIlvaine continues to adjust forecasts based on a number of its own reports plus U.S. census data such as the number of employees in each facility in each industry.
