Report Highlights

Through nearly three decades' development, China's environmental protection industry has grown rapidly, with improved operation quality and efficiency. It has become an important part of the national economy. As one of the high-tech industries that have been rising rapidly in recent years in China, the environmental protection industry has made significant contribution to promoting domestic economic development and domestic investment, and boosting employment. It has a bearing on China's sustainable economic and social development, with strong impacts on various fields in the economic field. Therefore, it is drawing more and more attention.

The year 2008 marked historic opportunities for China's environmental protection industry. After it was founded in March, the Ministry of Environmental Protection promulgated a host of environmental protection standards and policies, which underscored the importance of the environmental protection industry. 2008 was also an important year for the implementation of China's 11th Five-year Plan on Environmental Protection. Rigid targets on energy conservation and emission reduction and hefty investment during the 11th Five-year Plan period spell broad prospects for the environmental protection industry. To cope with the global financial crisis, the Chinese Government has eased monetary policy and increased investments, which also provides significant opportunities for the environmental protection industry. Moreover, in the face of increasingly grim ecological situation, China may start to levy environmental taxes, such as environmental protection tax, fuel tax and even resource tax.

At the same time, thanks to economic globalization and the financial crisis, China's huge environmental protection market draws growing attention from multinationals. Many leading companies in the global environmental protection industry started to invest in China. While bringing capital and technology, foreign enterprises pose greater pressure to their homegrown counterparts. This gives a strong impetus to the growth and restructuring of China's environmental protection industry.
