Tuesday, July 21, 2009 |
The development and management of water resources is a stated priority of the Vietnamese Government. The total market of water supply and distribution is worth approximately USD $250 million, out of which approximately USD $120 million is imported equipment and services. The overall drinking water market is growing at 20 - 25 percent annually. The market in Vietnam offers good prospects for the sale of American water resources equipment and services. There are key opportunities in providing engineering design and construction services as well as equipment. Good prospects also exist for engineering consultancy services required for the development of large-scale water resources projects, particularly drinking water treatment systems that use surface water as the raw water supply.
