The Environmental Technologies sector is one of the fastest growing industry sectors worldwide, projected to grow to approximately $600 billion by the year 2010.

The largest world ET markets are the United States, Japan, Europe, Canada, South Korea, the China Economic Area, Brazil, and Mexico. U.S. exports of about $10 billion support some 170,000 U.S. jobs.

While the U.S. is a leading producer of anti-global warming technologies, it exports only about 6 percent of its ET output; key competitors such as Japan and Germany export more than 20 percent of their output.

International demand for anti-global warming technologies is large and growing because of:

• continuous creation and modification of foreign countries, domestic environmental regulations;

• greater attention to local environmental problems and needs;

• recently concluded international environmental regimes requiring the use of environmental technologies to address global environmental problems;

• international commitments to achieve the goal of sustainable development;

• industry interest in creating environmental "goodwill" and using the environment as a marketing tool;

•  public demand for environmental accountability and improved environmental quality of life.
