Indonesia’s water resources sector faces increasingly complex long-term investment challenges and management problems, which, unless effectively addressed, will increasingly constrain the country’s economic development and lead to a deterioration of food security, public health and irreversible damage to the environment.
Indonesian imports of water resources equipment and service in 2006 were estimated at $180 million, a increase of over 5% compared to 2005. The U.S. had the fifth largest market share of 12%. Its primary foreign competitor is Japan with an estimated market share of 40%.
The water resources equipment market in Indonesia is competitive, with an increasing number of international suppliers trying to win projects. Japan, China and Korea dominate the machinery and equipment market.
Best Products/Services
