New Materials market report from Business Monitor International: "Saudi Arabia Water Report Q1 2015"

Boston, MA -- (SBWire) -- 01/30/2015 --We have substantially expanded our forecasts for the Saudi Arabian water sector, and now cover losse s, desalinated water production and non- mains consumption. These additions have resulted in the revision of our existing forecasts, and we now 1.5 % growth annually in extraction between 2015 and 2018, a 1.3% growth in consumption, and decline in water losses reaching as much as 4% in 2018, as investment into infrastructure and improved regulatory overviews start to bear fruit.

The Saudi Arabian water sector remains one of the most active in the region and offers some of the greatest opportunities to private sector participants. In particular, the continued growth in desalination projects and ongoing water reclamation developments offer significant potential. However, the country continues to be constrained by limited fresh water resources and rising domestic and industrial demand. Desalination is expensive and requires vast electricity resources. Moreover, electricity generation itself uses significant volumes of water in the cooling processes for thermal generation, and although Saudi Arabia is increasing its solar generation, additional industrial demands are weighing on water resources.

Backed by a multi-billion dollar infrastructure expenditure programme, Saudi Arabia is ploughing resources into its water sector and prioritising contractor awards across the key desalination, wastewater and network areas. The increasing attractiveness of the water sector is highlighted by the widespread international interest it generates and the fact that various international water management and water infrastructure groups are keen to enter the sector. Japan recently announced it was seeking greater involvement, particularly via product distribution.

In particular, we expect significant upswings in desalination capacity, which is set to experience the fastest growth rate in the world as the government targets 6% annual growth in water generated by these...
