Though not completely immune to economic cycles, the water market managed to exhibit some resilience in the year 2002. Regulations still drive the market, as does the public perception and demand for quality supply. EBJ estimates the overall growth rate of the water industry at 3.6% in 2003. Nearly two-thirds of the business came from utility/treatment works sectors but the leader in growth rate was consulting and engineering-related sectors.
In This Issue:
Overview: EBJ presents annual figures on the $96-billion U.S. water industry, the top 25 equipment companies and observations on the top trends. (Page 1-3)
Features I: Contract operations moves to mid-sized cities; Water utilities look to capture institutional knowledge; Marketing water rights encounters challenges; and EPA puts arsenic technology on a fast track. (Page 4-11)
Top Companies: Veolia raises some eyebrows with the breakup of USFilter; Foreign invasion becomes foreign exodus; and CH2M Hill tests new alternatives in water. (Page 12-15)
Equipment Profiles: Applied Process Technology, Thermodyne and Trojan Technologies concentrate on key niches . 16-18
Black & Veatch continues global leadership in water. (Page 19-20)
Value-Based Decision Making: New concepts for reuse of water by-products. (Page 20-22)
Profiles II: Burns & McDonnell, Haestad Methods, Michael Baker and MWH find growth in interesting places. (Page 23-26)
Features II: Desalination benefits from progress in technology but learns lessons from Tampa Bay project; California agency sets example; and Iraq infrastructure projects attract attention, controversy and contractors. (Page 27-31)
Strategic asset management - managing all water-related asset including the treatment facilities and other types of water-related infrastructure as well as the very water itself - is emerging as the crucial issue among the water officials and consultants. It is providing solid opportunities for the water-related businesses and at least partly driving the industry growth despite the stagnant U.S. economy.
This issue of EBJ uncovers the latest market trends and opportunities in various segments of the water industry. EBJ's latest analysis shows that the U.S. water industry grew to $93-billion. It experienced relatively fast growth in its services sector but the equipment sector was somewhat affected by stagnant economic condition.
In This Issue:
Water Industry Overview: Scarcity, security, new regulations, blockbuster acquisitions— and above all how to fund the seemingly immeasurable needs of the U.S. water infrastructure—highlight the trends shaping the $92-billion U.S. water industry. (Page 1-3)
Contract Operations: With 20% growth forecast in a market of more than $2 billion, private firms hone their ability to satisfy cities and the public. (Page 4-7)
Consolidation: Making sense of the hundreds of deals have occured in the water industry in the past five years. (Page 7-9)
Market Niches in Water: Developments spur initiatives in biosolids, stormwater, TMDLs and desalination. (Page 10-17)
C&E Firms in Water: Planning and building the futre in water at Brown and Caldwell, Wharton-Smith, Tetra Tech, Jones & Stokes, Malcolm Pirnie, Greeley and Hansen. (Page 18-24)
Equipment Company Profiles: Innovation, marketing and international markets challenge executives at PCC Flow Technologies, Emerson, GE Water, LightStream, Aqua-Aerobic Systems, Renovare, GE Betz and Ondeo Nalco. (Page 25-31)
