LONDON, Jan. 7, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportbuyer.com just published a new market research report:

Brazil is one of the hottest economies in the world, and one of GWI's top four country markets. With huge opportunities for foreign private sector participation and massive government investment programmes, this will become one of the most attractive markets over the coming years.

With capital expenditure on water and wastewater infrastructure in Brazil set to double to $9.9 billion by 2018, Global Water Intelligence Market Insight: Brazil is a must have guide to capitalising on the emerging prospects in this sector and harnessing these opportunities ahead of your competition.

The report covers analyses every facet of the water market in Brazil, covering the water sector structure, challenges, opportunities and forecasts as well as a comprehensive directory of water regulations and a list of almost 100 Brazilian water utilities.

Market drivers and opportunities

Although Brazil does not suffer from water stress, water shortages exist as infrastructure – especially for wastewater treatment – is often poorly maintained. In 2008, the Brazilian government launched a Programme for the Acceleration of Growth to achieve universal water supply and sanitation services.

This has boosted investment in the Brazilian water and wastewater sector in spite of the global recession and this will continue to accelerate over the next 5 years.
This market insight pinpoints the opportunities in this lucrative market:

• Private investment – utilities are becoming more proactive in seeking private financing as funds are often slow to reach their destination. We show you how this has opened up opportunities for foreign investors, how you can get involved and how this trend is creating opportunities for foreign companies in the municipal market.
• Advanced water treatment technologies – with a trend towards new infrastructure, utilities are becoming more open to investing in advanced water treatment processes. This is opening up opportunities for foreign companies to break into the market with their expertise, as Brazilian companies tend to favour more basic technologies. We pinpoint the best prospects for your water technologies and give you concrete strategies for entering the supply chain.
• Public-private partnerships – there is an increasing drive towards public-private partnerships in many municipalities, with a focus on wastewater. This report will investigate how state-owned companies are increasingly delegating wastewater treatment and collection to private operators, creating opportunities for your services in this sector. The report forecasts that this trend will accelerate over the next 5 years and shows you how you can successfully capitalise on this water market development.
• Stricter regulations – although Brazil has well-established standards for drinking water quality, historically they have been met with a level of non-compliance. However, recent new parameters will increase compliance and will encourage the adoption of alternative methods for water treatment reuse practices. The report will guide you on the regulations in this market and how current and future regulation changes will create opportunities for your business in both the municipal and industrials sectors.
