The global water market is estimated to be $600 billion, with annual growth of 7%, according to a 2014 report by Bank of America Merrill Lynch. The imbalance of water supply and demand is expected to intensify as a result of: population growth, urbanization, and industrialization;depletion of groundwater sources;pollution of waterways; andinefficient management of water infrastructure.According to the 2030 Water Resources Group (a public/private partnership led by the World Bank and the World Economic Forum), these stressors will create a 40% global shortfall in available freshwater by the year 2030. Anticipated population growth of 1 billion people between 2015 and 2030 is the primary driver. The United Nations predicts that 50% of the world’s population will be living in areas of high water stress by then. AquaVenture believes that the growing scarcity of clean water and the capital to spend on water treatment systems will drive strong and growing demand for Water-as-a-Service. aquaventure.com
