As the environmental protection measures continue to upgrade and awareness on this topic grows, environmental monitoring instruments are receiving unprecedented attention. As a result their applications and markets are growing steadily. The market is promising, as the government and investors are investing more into it.

The investment in this field is also in steady increase as more preferential policies are released. To meet the market demand and serve the industry, analytica China 2018 will open a new Environmental Monitoring Equipment and Technology Area. The new area is devoted to the environmental analysis, testing and monitoring technology and products. The exhibition will display the new products, technologies and applications through both product exhibition and forums, so as to promote the development of the environmental monitoring industry.
