With Europe as the second largest pharmaceutical manufacturing markets around it has emerged as a very lucrative high value opportunity to stake holders in the water industry. Some of the leading players have made significant investments on research and development as well as positioning themselves as providers of specialist solutions for the pharmaceutical sectors. These investments are channelled to enhance innovative water and wastewater treatment solutions, test and improve existing technologies to meet the current and expected changes to the European Pharmacopoeia's water standards.

The European pharmaceutical market is expected to showcase an annual growth rate of around 8-10 percent in the coming years and this is expected to reflect in a steady increase in the need for effective and efficient water as well as wastewater treatment technologies and services.
Furthermore, the current economic situation may open new and interesting opportunities in Southern and Eastern Europe. Karthikeyan Ravikumar reports that "with the economic slowdown triggered from the United States of America spreading to other regions of the globe, the pharmaceutical industries in Europe may take a cautious stand of wait and watch policy". This cautious stand could have an impact on the water and wastewater management needs of pharmaceutical industries. In this period of economic crunch, pharmaceutical companies have indicated an increased interest in moving South and East of Europe, to tap into relatively low production and operational costs.
