Remediation status of soil remediation

1. The investment amount in soil remediation projects exceeds 12 billion yuan

From the perspective of the number of projects, under the influence of policy guidance, site redevelopment and utilization needs and increased environmental awareness, soil remediation The engineering industry has received continued attention. The number of remediation projects across the country has been generally stable, fluctuating in a small range. The number of pollution remediation projects launched nationwide in 2021 has dropped by 24.7% year-on-year compared with 2020.

From the perspective of investment amount, the total investment scale of the national restoration project market has gradually stabilized at around 10 billion yuan in the past four years. The total investment amount of restoration projects started in 2021 increased by 18% year-on-year to 12.156 billion yuan; in 2021, 15 legacy site restoration projects in the national steel industry were launched, mainly in Chongqing, Hangzhou, Anhui and other places. The total contract value reaches 3 billion, accounting for 25% of the national restoration project value.

The largest number of construction land restoration projects will be launched in 2021, accounting for 50.7% of the number of projects throughout the year, followed by agricultural land restoration and management projects, accounting for 17.5%. In terms of project amount, the highest amount is for construction land risk management and restoration projects, which account for 70.8% of the contract amount, far exceeding the contract amount of other types of restoration project projects. Although the number of agricultural land-type projects ranks second, they only account for 2.8% of the contract value. The amount of landfill treatment project projects and the amount of mine soil/waste residue sites both account for about 8%. However, the number of landfill treatment project projects is small, and the average amount of a single project is higher than the amount of mine/waste residue site restoration projects.

2. The scale of soil remediation consulting projects is increasing year by year

Consulting service projects are obviously affected by national policies. During the “13th Five-Year Plan”, both the number of projects and the amount of projects have increased year by year. There is an increasing trend, especially in 2020, the final year of the “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan”, with the project amount approaching 4 billion yuan. 2021 is the first year of the "14th Five-Year Plan". Driven by relevant national policies, the number of projects increased by 9.46% compared with 2020, exceeding 3,000 for the first time and reaching 3,123. However, analysis of the average unit price of each project found that the average unit price is declining every year. Compared with 2018, the number of consulting service projects in 2021 has increased by 2.1 times compared with 2018, but the average unit price of each project has dropped from the highest of 1.802 million yuan/project in 2018 to 1.13 million yuan/project in 2021, reflecting It appears that the current profit margins in the soil environmental remediation consulting service industry are getting smaller and smaller.

From the perspective of project amount, the number of projects with a contract amount of less than 500,000 yuan is the largest, with a number of 1,571, accounting for 50.3%, followed by projects with an amount of 1 million to 5 million yuan. Second, there are 804 projects, accounting for 26% in quantity; there are 646 projects between 500,000 and 1 million yuan, accounting for 21% in quantity.

3. The development of the soil remediation industry will be more systematic

my country's soil pollution remediation market has huge demand, but according to my country's "prevention first, protection priority, classified management, risk management and control" The idea of ??preventing and controlling soil pollution starts from ensuring the safety of agricultural products and the safety of human settlements, and implements precise measures based on actual conditions. Judging from this, even after figuring out the soil base, demand will be released in stages, situations, and regions at a more rational or even conservative pace. Therefore, judging from the number of soil remediation project projects in China in the past few years, although the number changes greatly every year, it remains within the range of about 300-600; the growth in the number of projects mainly comes from the increase in the number of consulting projects. In the future, it is expected that soil remediation engineering projects will maintain a stable development of construction based on situations and regions. Consulting projects, as they include technical services, project supervision, effect evaluation, survey and design, etc., will continue to develop as the industry moves towards a mature stage. , continuing to maintain rapid growth. Looking forward, it is conservatively estimated that in 2023, the number of soil remediation projects in China will reach 4,050, with a total project value of 16.8 billion yuan; by 2028, there will be 5,360 soil remediation projects, with a total project value of 21 billion yuan, with a compound growth rate of around 5%.

In the future, the development of China's soil remediation industry will improve the legal system, improve the systematic level of soil remediation, and adapt to the trend of environmentally friendly development.
