Research and Markets Announces Water Utilities Report

Research and Markets has announced the addition of Water Utilities: Global Industry Guide to their offering. An essential resource for top-level data and analysis covering the water utilities industry, the report provides expert analysis on a global, regional and country basis.

The water utilities industry consists of all water that is collected, treated and distributed to end-users. The industry is valued using average annual end-user prices alongside consumption volumes. All currency conversions used in the creation of this report have been calculated using constant 2004 annual average exchange rates.

Private companies are moving aggressively to take over the management of water utilities in Russia and other Eastern European countries, as well as throughout Asia.

Water prices in the U.S. are among the lowest in the developed world, with an average price of approximately $0.6 per cubic meter, compared to $2.2 in Germany.

Companies within the European industry are facing increasing costs in terms of environmental compliance with new EU directives.

The Water Utilities: Global Industry Guide includes:

-- An executive summary and data on value, volume and segmentation;

-- Textual analysis of the industry’s prospects, competitive landscape and profiles of the leading companies;
