I.Initial situation
The worldwide water industry is developing into a competition aimed market more and more. An analysis of the 500 leading companies that are quoted on the stock exchange shows that the profit potential is fluctuating, as well as growth rates and future potentials. The leading 20 companies in this field are achieving EBIT of more than 20%. The factors of success are technology portfolio, internationalization, strategy, and marketing.
The markets for drinking water, industrial water, water treatment, and waste water are showing worldwide growth. This growth, however, is showing differences and possesses regional main foci. Participating in this growth has become more difficult and appropriate strategies and concepts are required. There are also opportunities for specialists and niche suppliers. What is more, water and energy are increasingly complementing each other, successful water companies are running a portfolio in the field of regenerable energies as well as fuel cell technology.
The study in hand deals with changes in the water markets and countries, new technologies, competition, future market leaders, and demand within the markets up to 2015 and also the prerequisites for achieving and maintaining profits in the future.
II.Scope/structure of the study
