Description

The municipal water and wastewater treatment market in Brazil is experiencing a growth phase, spurred by the recent change in legislation that allows greater participation from the private sector in upcoming bid and tender processes and opens up new growth opportunities. Prior to this legislative change, Brazil was working on a plan to focus its efforts on the universalization of sanitation services, PLANSAB, which seeks to provide the entire population with drinking water and wastewater collection networks by the year 2033. Private sector participation will accelerate market growth and advance the objectives established in the PLANSAB, accompanied by digital transformations based on more sustainable decisions linked to circular economy solutions.

The new, sustainable technologies and digital solutions designed for more efficient water management are topics of growing interest the market. Smart meters connected to the network or cloud are already being implemented in different regions, demonstrating their efficiency in reducing costs, energy use, chemicals and pollutants, and water leaks. These solutions will significantly improve resource utilization for the water market.

Research Scope

The Brazilian municipal water and wastewater treatment market constitutes 5,565 municipalities in 27 states across 5 regions. This market analysis includes all plants and equipment used to treat municipal water and wastewater (components, tanks, plates, and distributors) but excludes pumps, valves, chemicals, microbes, monitoring equipment, and civil infrastructure.

The study explores the current state of the municipal water and wastewater treatment sector in Brazil, including a discussion of market transformations; various emerging technologies and specific solutions; and major market trends, drivers, and restrains up to 2033.
