Global Water PPP Market to Triple by 2020
Many countries are facing a perfect storm of financing constraints and water infrastructure shortfalls. Dramatic declines in oil and commodity prices, low water tariffs, groundwater overdrafts, and untreated wastewater discharge are prompting governments to tap the private sector through public-private partnership (PPP) schemes. According to a new report by Bluefield Research, the global market for water PPP projects is set to nearly triple between 2016 and 2020, adding an average of 16 million m3/day of treatment capacity annually versus approximately 6 million m3/day between 2010 and 2015. Total investment during the period is expected to surpass US$58 billion, of which 80% will target new seawater desalination and wastewater treatment plants.
