DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/d473f0/water_the_ultimat) has announced the addition of the "Water: The Ultimate Commodity and Coming Crisis of the 21st Century - Global Markets, Competitors and Opportunities: 2011-2021 Analysis and Forecasts" report to their offering.
The clich of water as blue gold is becoming increasingly relevant. Growing imbalances in global water supply and demand are well documented and illustrate the unsustainable nature of water consumption patterns. Three major factors are exerting stress on the global water supply and demand balance: rural/urban migration, climate change and pollution. The bottom line is that demand is outstripping supply.
Businesses and investors are often drawn in by the combination of large markets and powerful secular themes: population growth; rising water consumption per capita; aquifer depletion; increasing scarcity of supplies of fresh water; and even climate change.
In practice, however, the sector encompasses a wide range of business models and end market niches, and a bottom-up approach is critical for analysis.
