The Water and Waste Utilities of the World Market Report and Database provides a comprehensive overview of the global markets. Our water and waste market analysis shows how the need for investment in the water and waste industry is escalating as environmental directives multiply, especially in the USA and the EU. Privatisation in the water sector continues and devolution of water and waste utilities from state ownership to municipalities has continued worldwide, placing an enormous investment burden on these local institutions. Our dynamic analysis of the water and waste market highlights how may countries, especially in the CIS, the EU accession states, and countries in South America, governments are short of cash and are unable to subsidise municipalities to improve their water and waste infrastructure.
The Water and Waste Utilities of the World Report offers a comprehensive study of the global water and waste markets. It provides a review of the investment that has already taken place in the original EU countries and the problems that still remain in the EU accession countries, which now have to meet the many environmental directives pouring out of Brussels. This can only mean a continued need for PSP.
Foreign investors have been slow to invest in water and waste utilities in Russia but a new breed of infrastructural investor has arisen in the country in the last two years, investing in Vodokanals throughout the CIS. The largest of these is a partnership between the electricity and gas giants, RAO UES and Gazprom. Others are being formed by oligarchs.
The Water and Waste Utilities of the World Report contains an introduction to the global water and waste industry, profiles of the largest water companies in the world, and a section for each of the 184 countries in the world, providing a thorough water and waste market analysis.
The country sections contain water and waste market analysis, water and waste utilities statistics, an outline of the infrastructure, details of the composition of the water and waste services utility industry and descriptions of the major utilities.
For the first time ABS is publishing a separate Excel database of water and waste utilities, government environmental and water ministries and departments and trade associations. This database has over 5,100 water and waste utilities listed with addresses, telephone and fax where available, nearly 400 government entities and over two hundred associations and other relevant organisations.
