Abstract: | The introduction of a new technological system to the commercial market is helped by following established procedures for estimating the potential market for the product. This paper describes the results of a preliminary market analysis for the manufacture and sale of small solar powered desalination (SSPD) systems in Middle Eastern Countries. Overall results indicate that manufacture and sales of the SSPD system are promising from both technical and economical standpoints. However, until prototypes are built, some caution is indicated for financing of production and for purchasing of equipment. Prototype systems are being developed to demonstrate in actuality the commercial acceptance and economic viability of the system. |
