10 Big Questions for the Water Sector
It has been an extraordinary year in the water industry. The effects of the global pandemic ricocheted across almost every sector and disrupted business as normal across the board.
The global water sector has had to pivot to meet the challenge and, although the impact of the pandemic undoubtedly slowed down the volume of work, it has driven innovation and accelerated secular trends in a way that will define the industry for years to come. In tandem with Covid-19, the Trump administration came to an end, giving rise to an historic $111 billion stimulus plan under President Biden and the months-long takeover battle between French Giants, Suez and Veolia, finally came to its conclusion. Meanwhile, opportunities in several pockets of the market such as water for energy, technology, desalination and private finance have emerged.
The question now is: what does this mean for the future of the water market and where are the key opportunities in 2021 and beyond? GWI makes its much-anticipated predictions in our upcoming virtual session, 10 Big Questions for the Water Sector in 2021.
