25th March, at 2011 Urban Water Strategic Forum, co-organized by ChinaWater.Net and Tsinghua University, Ms. YIN Xiaofang, Deputy General Manager of ChinaWater.Net has made a speech to review 2010 water market structure.

Four State-owned water companies, including Beijing Enterprises Water Group, Beijing Capital Group, China Water Investment Co., Ltd and General Water of China Co., Ltd, has been toped the list for Top Ten Companies of Most Influence.

On the other hand, driven by developing strategic new industries, some leading companies such as China Guodian Corporation, China Railway Group as well as Huatian Engineering & Technology Corporation, have increasingly involved into water-related businesses, and formed the important part of the aggressive water companies.

According to the statistics issued by ChinaWater.Net, in 1990, among the listed companies in China, only one was doing environment-related business. As to November 2010, there are 51 environmental companies listed on main board, SME Board and Growth Enterprise Market with total market value of 409.5 billion RMB.

As shown, 2011 is the beginning year of 12th FYP, and it is expected as an environment era, and more and more social capital will flow into environmental industry. It will be a great opportunity for water companies.

In order to provide comprehensive services under the same brand and obtain new financing sources, the top water companies further expand their existed services. In other words, the investment and operational companies is likely to provide financing to comprehensive services providers.

On the other hand, after the world-wide Financial Crises, a lot of developed countries prefer green politics to deliver environmental services to developing countries. In 2010, water companies with advanced technologies and sufficient capital flows from developed countries, such as Japan, USA and Korea, have entered China Water Market. It means a great opportunity for water companies at adjust their market strategies. On the other hand, the market structure in 12th FYP is to be tailored by the market behaviors, including industrial integration and corporation merges, in this process, some companies likely be merged, some competitive companies will alternatively find their market potential and get rapid growth.
