World FGD Market Report
The latest intelligence on the volatile U.S. market as well as comprehensive current analyses of Asian and European power plant SO2 removal plans are included in this new on line version of a report which had been periodically published for more than two decades. Now thousands of forecasts are reviewed and needed changes made quarterly. Markets for systems, materials, and components are included. Analyses are provided for wet and dry lime and limestone, ammonia, and other processes. Individual plant data is also included along with the supplier networking directory.
But now we are taking an even bigger step than the conversion from printed pages to online analysis. We have created a new service FGD Decisions which is a tool for both the purchaser and the supplier.
What is a decision for the utility is an opportunity for the supplier. What is an assessment of backlog and experience for the utility is competitive intelligence for the supplier. Recommendations on which conferences to attend for the utilities are also recommendations on where to exhibit for the supplier. Efforts to improve the networking between supplier and utility at these conference benefit both.
The goal for FGD Decisions is lofty. With continuous contributions from suppliers, associations, consultants and the utility users, it can substantially influence how purchases decisions are made. So this service becomes much more than market information. It becomes a means of increasing the total market and the individual suppliers market share.
FORECASTS
Major decisions in the decision tree are accompanied by market impact analysis. So the split between wet and dry system, between calcium and other reagents, between spray towers and tray towers are all provided. This means that the individual supplier can take the thousands of market forecasts we provide. He can then apply the percentage splits and obtain the market potential for his specific product. (For subscribers to both the market report and the Utility Environmental Upgrade Tracking System we offer a package which will include custom forecasting of the individual supplier market)
REGULATIONS AND OTHER MARKET DRIVERS
The impact of CAIR, the EU 2008 deadline, the Chinese SEPA rules and other regulatory impacts are provided. All the other market drivers not only for systems but components are tracked. The cost differential between low sulfur and high sulfur coal can mean the difference between the wet limestone vendor and the dry lime vendor receiving the order. This in turn makes the difference in whether the pump or the bag company is a big beneficiary.
MARKET SHARES AND COMPETITIVE INTELLIGENCE
The report provides market shares for all the system suppliers. These include lists of every previous installation plus orders for delivery up till 2009 or later. There is also substantial data on pump, belt filter, ball mill, damper, nozzle and other products and services.
NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES
The system provides the specific emails and phone numbers for the A/Es and OEMs around the world ( the utility contacts are in a separate service called Utility People). Specific arrangements will be made for networking at Coal Gen, Power Gen Europe, Power Gen, Bagfilter Shanghai, EUEC , ICAC etc.
PROMOTION STRATEGY RECOMMENDATIONS
Which associations should you join? Where should you advertise and exhibit. What are the real concerns of your potential purchaser. How do you get a new product tested in what has to be the most difficult industry in which to introduce something new? Where do you go for other informational needs? These are questions which are answered with this service.
