share positions of more than 65 private water players. These
profiled companies are delivering more than 20 billion cubic
meters (m3) annually of drinking water, generating over US$50
billion in revenues.
• M&A, concession activity signal shift in competitive
landscape. The global water landscape is transitioning, as
demonstrated by Bluefield’s critical analysis of more than 86
M&A transactions and 72 concessions since 2013. While
