Report: Air pollution battlefield brings investment opportunities

China's efforts to control air pollution will provide a new impetus for economic growth, with investment opportunities of 20 trillion yuan ($3.2 trillion) in the coming 12 years, according to a report by an antipollution industry group.

The market potential lies in six major sectors, including coal pollution control, reduction of volatile organic compound emissions and environmental monitoring.

The report, titled China's Clean Air Market Outlook 2030, was published on Tuesday by the Bluetech Clean Air Alliance, an industry alliance based in Beijing's Zhongguancun Science Park, known as China's Silicon Valley.
