Could the contaminated waters of Rio de Janeiro’s coastline spell the next global biohazard?

People planning their next vacation to Brazil should watch their feet (literally) before stepping onto the shores of Rio. The high levels of virus and bacterial infestations in Rio’s waters could put Brazil at the top of the list of the ‘most dangerous places to visit’ in the world. There is a high level of awareness already among the Brazilian population with the government and local authorities taking the necessary steps to ensure the availability of infestation free, potable water to all citizens.

This is perhaps the reason why the residential water treatment equipment market in Brazil is peaking in terms of revenue, making Brazil the dominant market in the South America residential water treatment equipment market.

The residential water treatment equipment market in South America is rapidly growing and the technology has a decent penetration rate in urban South America. Owing to deteriorating water quality and rising consumer expectations regarding the quality of drinking water, demand for water purifiers in the region is anticipated to increase.

The South America residential water treatment equipment market has been estimated to be valued at more than US$ 330 Mn by 2016 end and is expected to register a CAGR of 9.2% during the assessment period (2016–2026).
