Japanese Trading Houses Enter 2015 as Market Movers for Private Water
On the heels of steady deal flow in 2014, Bluefield Research has released a new Data Insight, Japanese Player Water Portfolios: Trends & Analysis 2015 that evaluates strategic moves by seven key Japanese trading houses in the private water sector. These firms hold equity positions in utility networks that serve over 15 million people, and plants that operate over 5 million cubic meters per day of desalination, water treatment, and wastewater treatment capacity. Bluefield’s analysis highlights multiple recent deals that reinforce the importance of Japanese players as equity investors, but also reveals how they employ distinctly different strategies in targeting assets for acquisition.
