The dust control systems market
The global market for dust control systems has been positively influenced by precautionary maintenance of dust control equipment and the recent testing of advanced dust control technology.
The need for effective dust control systems has become a higher priority for municipalities and counties across the world. The evident risks of dust pollution recorded in Asia-Pacific countries such as India and China continue to fuel the use of dust control systems to reduce smog and dust haze. The market is expected to reach a achieve sales of US$ 12.3 billion by the end of 2016, and US$ 17.41 billion by the end of 2024.
