The populations of the Middle Eastern and North African regions will grow significantly by 2025, reaching levels of around 500 million. Compared with a 2008 population size of 300 million, this represents a significant future demand on what is already an overburdened water and sewage infrastructure.
The MENA water treatment infrastructure industry has already seen significant levels of investment, but there is considerable opportunity for those businesses active in these key market segments: water treatment, wastewater treatment, water distribution networks and wastewater collection and disposal networks.
MENA governments have agreed to allow private sector companies to work on their water infrastructure, but if they are to succeed they will have to be able to provide these nations with high quality and economically viable solutions. The most comprehensive solutions will involve collaboration activity between contractors in the engineering, procurement & construction (EPC) business, and water industry consultants.
The Gulf Co-operation Council holds a 72% share of the MENA water infrastructure market, yet is only responsible for the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Geographies analysed within the water treatment research report are: North Africa: Egypt, Libya, Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco, and the Middle East: Bahrain, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon.
The 82 page, June 2011 publication presents a comprehensive overview of the MENA water and wastewater infrastructure market, including revenue forecasts to 2015. The report includes discussion around key aspects of the water and wastewater infrastructure market, including drivers and barriers, industry challenges, project types, technologies, government activity/involvement, amongst other factors. Desalinisation and activated sludge process technologies are also discussed at length.
